Abstract
We consider a search for phenomenological signatures from an hypothetical spacetime granularity that respects Lorentz invariance. The model is based on the idea that the metric description of Einstein’s gravity corresponds to a hydrodynamic characterization of some deeper underlying structure, and that Einstein’s gravity is thus to be seen as emergent. We present the specific phenomenological model in detail and analyze the bounds on its free parameters established by an experiment specifically designed to test this model.
