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. Geometric structure of the relativistic quantum phase space

    quant-ph 2026-03 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A geometric equation for relativistic quantum phase space is proposed, but its central constant is fixed by hand to reproduce de Sitter spacetime and curved momentum space in the two limits.

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

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    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.
