Using Counter Factuals to Make Predictions in Quantum Gravity

counterfactuals hold for those systems irrespective of their details. This is an example of how the laws about counterfactural properties can be useful and go beyond the testable predictions of known dynamical laws. The approach with canter facturas has recently led to an idea to test effects ind quantum gravity, which has created a lot of interest within the quantum gravity and experimental communities. If it is realized, it could finally refute the idea that gravity is not quontum. Such is the reach of counter factuals. They provide a powerful underpinning of deep conceptual ideas as well as the robust theoretical nature to support experimental ideas of this kind.
