The relevance of the Planck scale to a theory of quantum gravity has become a worryingly little examined assumption that goes unchallenged in the majority of research in this area. However, in all scientific honesty, the significance of Planck's natural units in a future physical theory of spacetime is only a plausible, yet by no means certain, assumption. The purpose of this article is to clearly separate fact from belief in this connection.

  1. Constraining ADD black holes at the LHC with $\sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Upper limits on ADD black hole mass MB at 14 TeV LHC range from 11.83 TeV (ζ=0, D=3, ΛD=1 TeV) down to 7.65 TeV (ζ=0.35), with similar shifts for D=7 and higher ΛD.
