摘 要:According to Einstein’s relativity,the speed of light is a constant in free ***,it is speculated from quantum gravity that the light speed may receive a correction in powers of E=EPl,where E is the energy of the photon and EPl?■≈1.22×10^19 GeV is the Planck *** the light speed might be energy dependent due to the Lorentz invariance violation(see,e.g.,Refs.[1–6]).Such speed variation is very tiny and can hardly be detected on the *** was suggested by Amelino-Camelia et al.[7]that photons from gamma-ray bursts(GRBs)can be used to detect the light speed variation.
