Talk Title |
Quantum gravity signatures in MAGIC observations of a very high energy source? |
|
Abstract |
For decades the efforts toward a better understanding of the interplay between theories of gravity and quantum principles have faced a formidable obstacle: this obstacle is the difficulty of obtaining models in which the evidence of this interplay could appear at an energy scale accessible for present day experiments/observations. In the last years this perspective has changed, and one of the possibilities that has been considered is that quantum gravity effects could manifest themselves in the propagation of light that is coming from astrophysical sources. In this talk we will review in this perspective observations of a very high energy distance source by the MAGIC telescope. |
