在过去的几十年里，几个模型在量子引力的背景下预测了光速与能量的关系。对于像活动星系这样的宇宙源来说，这种微小的效应加起来可以形成可测量的依赖于光子能量的时间滞后。在这封信中，对2006年7月28日活动星系PKS 2155-304异常高能耀斑的高能立体系统观测过程中的时间滞后现象进行了研究。由于没有发现明显的时间滞后，因此导出了光速修改的能量标度的下限。
In the past few decades, several models have predicted an energy dependence of the speed of light in the context of quantum gravity. For cosmological sources such as active galaxies, this minuscule effect can add up to measurable photon-energy dependent time lags. In this Letter a search for such time lags during the High Energy Stereoscopic System observations of the exceptional very high energy flare of the active galaxy PKS 2155-304 on 28 July 2006 is presented. Since no significant time lag is found, lower limits on the energy scale of speed of light modifications are derived.
