Abstract EN
Whether or not space-time is fundamentally discrete is of central importance for the development of the theory of quantum gravity.
If the fundamental description of spacetime is discrete, typically represented in terms of a graph or network, then the apparent smoothness of geometry on large scales should be imperfect—it should have defects.
Here, we review a model for space-time defects and summarize the constraints on the prevalence of these defects that can be derived from observation.
