Abstract

In this paper we propose an alternative cosmography by considering Horava-Lifshitz gravity as a model of quantum gravity to search for quantum effects at the cosmological level. For our analyses we consider current late universe surveys and a Gravitational Waves forecast from Einstein Telescope. We found naturally a non-flat scenario with Ωk=0.0210.029+0.023\Omega_k =-0.021^{+0.023}_{-0.029} with H0=71.9041.347+1.406H_0 = 71.904^{+1.406}_{-1.347}, without showing the standard reported 3.43.4-σ\sigma inconsistency. Furthermore, we obtained a specific value for the Ho\v rava parameter ω3.8×1014\omega \approx -3.8\times 10^{-14}, which can be interpreted as a measure of a quantum effect and could be used to further test this quantum gravity model. We conclude that classically, according to the Λ\LambdaCDM model, our universe seems to be spatially flat, but in fact, it is curved from a quantum point of view.
