Abstract

We discuss the  structure of 2-> n scattering amplitudes in QCD and in Einstein gravity in high energy Regge asymptotics. We  outline the remarkable double copy between the two theories in this construction, and in emergent shockwave descriptions of gluon/graviton radiation, describing universal and empirically accessible features of physics separated by 28 orders of magnitude.
