  "abstract": "The functional integral of pure Einstein 4D quantum gravity admits abnormally large and long-lasting \"dipolar fluctuations\", generated by virtual sources with the property Int d^4x Sqrt{g(x)} Tr T(x) = 0. These fluctuations would exist also at macroscopic scales, with paradoxical consequences. We set out their general features and give numerical estimates of possible suppression processes.",
