Notes:
Abstract Canonical quantum gravity theories predict apolymer-like structure for space time at the Plancksize. This granularity can be probed using gamma rayburst observations. Quantum gravity effects typically amount to corrections of Planck length size perwavelength. Because the distance to gamma ray burst isvery large as measured in the wavelength of gamma rays,the effects accumulate and are on the brink of being observable. These observations canconstrain certain aspects of the quantum stateunderlying our universe.
