Data From IceCube and Fermi Provides Statistical Evidence Supporting Quantum Gravity

In a study published in Nature Astronomy today, a team of researchers from the University of Naples "Federico II", the University of Wroclaw, and the University of Bergen examined a quantum-gravity model of particle propagation in which the speed of ultrarelativistic particles decreases with rising energy.
