We propose uncertainty relations for the different coordinates of spacetime 5 events, motivated by Heisenberg’s principle and by Einstein’s theory of classical gravity. A model of Quantum Spacetime is then discussed where the commutation relations exactly 1 implement our uncertainty relations. v We outline the definition of free fields and interactions over QST and take the first 7 steps to adapting the usual perturbation theory. The quantum nature of the underlying 3 spacetime replaces a local interaction by a specific nonlocal effective interaction in the 0 ordinary Minkowski space. A detailed study of interacting QFT and of the smoothing of 3 ultraviolet divergences is deferred to a subsequent paper. 0 In the classical limit where the Planck length goes to zero, our Quantum Spacetime 3 reduces to the ordinary Minkowski space times a two component space whose components 0 are homeomorphic to the tangent bundle TS2 of the 2–sphere.
