Abstract
After the theoretical discovery of Hawking's radiation, the ensuing intriguing connection between gravity and thermodynamics, has been, for more than half a century now, a prominent theme of research, in the quest for an understanding of the intimate nature of spacetime. While recalling some aspects of this endeavour, including the so-called holographic principle which somehow captures it, we discuss here how the existence of a (lower) limit length is key to all this. We further show how the incorporation of a limit length in the metric description of spacetime leads to generically foresee effects potentially at reach by gravitational wave (GW) detectors, most notably in binary black hole inspirals. The quickly increasing effectiveness of GW detectors is thus apparently bringing the real chance to get a first experimental clue of a statistical nature for gravity/geometry.
