Abstract
In the last decades, a large scale search for theories of quantum gravity was made.
In this essay an overview of the Planck star model of Francesca Vidotto and Carlo Rovelli is given. After a first orientation that inspired the model, a discussion of its details is made. Then the main achievements of the model are pointed out. Finally a possible connection between Planck star explosions and short gamma-ray bursts is given.
