This paper addresses the effect of generalized uncertainty principle, emerged by a different approaches of quantum gravity within Planck scale, on thermodynamic properties of photon, non-relativistic ideal gases and degenerate fermions. A…
A generic prediction of quantum gravity is the vacuum dispersion of light, and hence that a photon's speed depends on its energy. We present further numerical evidence for a scale dependent speed of light in the causal dynamical…
The effect of Planck scale quantum geometrical effects on measurements with interferometers is estimated with standard physics, and with a variety of proposed extensions. It is shown that effects are negligible in standard field theory with…
