An attempt is made to go beyond the standard semi-classical approximation for gravity in the Born-Oppenheimer decomposition of the wave-function in minisuperspace. New terms are included which correspond to quantum gravitational fluctuations on the background metric. Their existence renders the definition of the semi-classical limit rather delicate and can lead to the avoidance of the singularities the classical theory predicts in cosmology and in the gravitational collapse of compact objects.

Bounded compactness from G(E)UP
The generalized uncertainty principle bounds the compactness of any object much heavier than the Planck mass by about 1/α, and the existence of black holes forces the GUP parameter to satisfy α ≲ 2.
