Description
Common lore suggests that effects of quantum gravity are difficult to unravel. The Planck scale is in fact about 14 orders of magnitude above the highest energy reached on Earth, namely at the Large Hadron Collider. In this talk, I will show that the quantum gravity cut-off can decrease in certain situations thus making quantum gravity effects accessible at energies lower than the Planck scale. Based on the results of recent and ongoing work, I will show that quantum gravity can constrain a variety of aspects of cosmic acceleration and give a prediction of supersymmetry signatures at energies of order TeV.
