Observable Effects of Quantum Gravity

TL;DR

This paper explores how quantum gravity effects, involving non-local and non-particle quanta with dynamic energy-momentum space, could be observable at energy scales much lower than the Planck scale, challenging traditional expectations.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that observable quantum gravity phenomena may occur at accessible energy scales due to non-local and extended quanta, expanding the scope of experimental quantum gravity research.

Findings

Quantum gravity effects may be observable at lower energy scales.

Extended, non-local quanta are central to quantum gravity phenomenology.

Energy-momentum space may be dynamical, affecting observable phenomena.

Abstract

We discuss the generic phenomenology of quantum gravity and, in particular, argue that the observable effects of quantum gravity, associated with new, extended, non-local, non-particle-like quanta, and accompanied by a dynamical energy-momentum space, are not necessarily Planckian and that they could be observed at much lower and experimentally accessible energy scales.
