Limits on Observation in Quantum Gravity and Black Holes

Abstract

We discuss how the bounds on observation associated with the Planck units would affect an observers perception of a black hole. By simply imposing Planck scale quantities as the lower bounds for length, time, and mass of black hole formation, interesting insights into the nature of black holes can be gained. We also see the emergence of a Planck-scale mass that plays an important role in the observation of black holes and the emergence of a new mechanism for virtual black hole formation.
