Description

Traditionally observational signatures of quantum gravity (QG) have been considered far out of reach of observation. We take another look at this question, and discuss how UV/IR mixing, in theoretically controlled contexts (such as fluid gravity near horizons and shockwave backgrounds), could give rise to the appearance of the IR scale in QG effects in experiments.
