Abstract:

I will present a tentative answer to this question, consisting in a theory of quantum spacetime and matter, to which I will give a pedagogical introduction.
I will argue that the main challenge for such a theory is the question of how to probe it experimentally, given that we expect its effects to manifest at tiny distances below the Planck length of 10^-35 m. I will challenge this expectation and show that not all effects are untestably small. Concretely, I will show how consequences of the microscopic physics leave their imprints on macroscopic scales in particle physics and black holes.
