In this paper, we discuss an effective theory for quantum gravity and discuss the bounds on the parameters of this effective action. In particular, we show that measurement in pulsars binary systems are unlikely to improve the bounds on the coefficients of the R2 and RμνRμν terms obtained from probes of Newton's potential performed on Earth. Furthermore, we argue that if the coefficients of these terms are induced by quantum gravity, they should be at most of order unity since R2 and RμνRμν are dimension four operators. The same applies to the nonminimal coupling of the Higgs boson to the Ricci scalar.

We present a bird's-eye survey on the development of fundamental ideas of quantum gravity, placing emphasis on perturbative approaches, string theory, loop quantum gravity (LQG) and black hole thermodynamics. The early ideas at the dawn of quantum gravity as well as the possible observations of quantum gravitational effects in the foreseeable future are also briefly discussed.
