Findings
Quasinormal modes offer new constraints on quantum gravity.
Black hole thermodynamics connects classical and quantum gravity.
Potential for observational tests of quantum gravity theories.
Abstract
The search for a quantum theory of gravity has followed two parallel but different paths. One aims at arriving at the final theory starting from a priori assumptions as to its form and building it from the ground up. The other tries to infer as much as possible about the unknown theory from the existing ones and use our current knowledge to constrain the possibilities for the quantum theory of gravity. Probably the biggest success of the second path has been the results of black hole thermodynamics. The subject of this essay is a new, highly promising such result, the application of quasinormal modes in quantum gravity.
