Much research has been done in the latter years on the subject of Lorentz violation induced by Quantum Gravity effects. On the theoretical side it has been shown that both Loop Quantum Gravity and String Theory predict that Lorentz violation can be induced at an energy near to the Planck scale. On the other hand, most of the experimental results in the latter years, have confirmed that the laws of physics are Lorentz invariant at low energy with very high accuracy. The inclusion of one- and two-loop contributions from a Lorentz violating Lagrangian dramatically change the above picture: the loop momenta run into the Planck scale and above and from the "divergent" terms finite Lorentz violating contributions of order one arise. These can be suppressed through suitable counterterms in the Lagrangian, originating a strong fine tuning problem. A brief discussion of these issues and their possible influence in future research follows.
