Description
In this talk I will provide a general description of the corpuscular theory of gravity. Specifically, after reviewing some of the major conceptual issues emerging from the semiclassical and field theoretic approaches to Einstein's gravity, I will present a synthetic overview of the classicalization scheme for the gravitational interaction. After this preliminary analysis, I will then discuss how this new paradigm can be employed to investigate several different scenarios such as self-gravitating systems, the early Universe, and galactic dynamics.
