... experiments remarkably allows us to set a limit within a single order of magnitude of the desired Planck-scale level, thereby providing the first example of Planck-scale sensitivity in the study of the dispersion relation in controlled laboratory experiments. For the next-to-leading term we obtain a limit which is a few orders of magnitude away from the Planck scale, but still...

We study, within an effective field theory framework, $O(E^{2}/\Mpl^{2})$ Planck-scale suppressed Lorentz invariance violation (LV) effects in the neutrino sector, whose size we parameterize by a dimensionless parameter $\eta_{\nu}$. We find deviations from predictions of Lorentz invariant physics in the cosmogenic neutrino spectrum. For positive O(1) coefficients no neutrino will survive above...

... in our earlier article, we obtained this constant to be around 171$\sim$173 by fitting to the Planck radiation spectrum. In this article, we calculate it using another method and show that it is approximately 170.2. So, there is a good agreement. Of course, one can argue that the tiny discrepancy reflects the discrete nature of the area spectrum, rather than implying that our area spectrum...

... and experiences play a role in how well we do. 1. Harriet Over and Malinda Carpenter of the Max Planck Institute found that 18 month-old children could be primed to behave more prosocially (offer help to an adult who dropped an object) simply by first observing a scene in which two dolls sat facing one another, versus facing away. Fascinating. [ source ] 2. In a statistical study using data...
