Abstract

We use exact results in a new approach to quantum gravity to study the effect of quantum loop corrections on the behavior of the metric of space-time near the Schwarzschild radius of a massive point particle in the Standard Model. We show that the classical conclusion that such a system is a black hole is obviated. Phenomenological implications are discussed.
