Description
In any approach to quantum gravity, it is crucial to search
for observational effects. In my talk,
I discuss how quantum-gravitational contributions to the
anisotropy spectrum of the cosmic microwave background
arise in the framework of quantum geometrodynamics
(Wheeler-DeWitt equation).
A scenario of slow-roll inflation is assumed.
I derive concrete predictions for the power spectrum
and other cosmic quantities and discuss their observability.
I also present a brief comparison with other approaches.
