description

Some physical aspects of $q$-deformed spacetimes are discussed. It is pointed out that, under certain standard assumptions relating deformation and quantization, the classical limit (Poisson bracket description) of the dynamics is bound to contain unusual features. At the same time, it is argued that the formulation of an associated $q$-deformed field theory is fraught with serious difficulties.
