A Revised Planck Scale?

Perceptive readers who see the connection between this thread and the
one entitled "Critical Test Of The Discrete Fractal And Big Bang
Paradigms" will likely think: 'what motivates us to seriously consider
discrete self-similarity between elementary particles and astrophysical
objects like stellar-mass Kerr-Newman black holes?'.
Both elementary particles and stellar-mass Kerr-Newman black holes
share the following properties:
1. Nearly complete characterization in terms of mass, charge and
angular momentum.
2. Gyromagnetic ratios = 2.
3. Magnetic moments, but no electric dipole moments.
4. Similar mass formulae.
5. Cross-sections that increase in collisions.
The detailed physics of these arguments for meaningful discrete
self-similarity can be found in Sivaram, C. and Sinha, K.P., Physics
Reports 51, 111-187, 1979. It is an old paper, but well worth the
effort to find and read.
With the advent of the Discrete Fractal paradigm, it is now clear why
'strong gravity' is confined to very small spacetime scales, although a
considerable amount of work needs to be done in terms of elaborating on
this largely conceptual/empirical result.
