The existence of a minimum length and a generalization of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle seem to be two fundamental ingredients required in any consistent theory of quantum gravity. In this paper, we show that they would predict dangerous processes which are phenomenologically unacceptable. For example, long-lived virtual super-Planck mass black holes may lead to rapid proton decay. Possible solutions of this puzzle are briefly discussed.

COMMENTS, REPLIES AND NOTES: A note on the innocuous implications of a minimum length in quantum gravity
A modification to the time-energy uncertainty relation in quantum gravity has been interpreted as increasing the duration of fluctuations producing virtual black holes with masses greater than the… Expand

TLDR
The corrections to the fine structure constant from the generalized uncertainty principle in the spacetime of a domain wall are studied and the results generalize the cases known in literature. Expand
Nilpotence and the generalized uncertainty principle(s)
We point out that some of the proposed generalized/modified uncertainty principles originate from solvable, or nilpotent at appropriate limits, "deformations" of Lie algebras. We briefly comment on… Expand
Maximal extension of the Schwarzschild space-time inspired by noncommutative geometry
We derive a transformation of the noncommutative geometry inspired Schwarzschild solution into new coordinates, such that the apparent unphysical singularities of the metric are removed. Moreover, we… Expand
Comparing two approaches to Hawking radiation of Schwarzschild–de Sitter black holes
We study two different ways to analyze the Hawking evaporation of a Schwarzschild–de Sitter black hole. The first one uses the standard approach of surface gravity evaluated at the possible horizons.… Expand
Perturbing microscopic black holes inspired by noncommutativity
We probe into the instabilities of microscopic quantum black holes. For this purpose, we study the quasinormal modes (QNMs) for a massless scalar perturbation of the noncommutative geometry inspired… Expand
Discrete Black Holes
The classical spacetime is usually described by a differentiable manifold with infinitely many degrees of freedom. Occasionally though, it is useful to consider an approximation whose number of… Expand

Abstract This is an introductory review about the ongoing search for a signal of Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) in cosmic rays. We first summarise basic aspects of cosmic rays, focusing on rays… Expand
