The Calogero hypothesis proposes that the classical stochastic background field to which Edward Nelson attributes quantum mechanical behavior in his theory of Stochastic Quantization is a fluctuating spacetime. Calogero assumes that the fluctuations arise from the chaotic motions of energy and matter throughout the universe. Although the hypothesis provides a physical justification for and an approximation of the fundamental parameter of Quantum Mechanics, h, Planck's constant, the proposal is not widely accepted by Stochastic Quantization theorists.
