Abstract
We consider experimental evidence for the hypothesis that the Planck energy, , sets the scale at which wave function collapse causes deviations from linear Schr\"{o}dinger evolution. With a few plausible assumptions about the collapse process, we first show that the observed CP violation in decay implies a lower bound on remarkably close to . If the bound is saturated, the entire CP violation is due to collapse and a prediction made that the branching ratio for CP violation in the B meson decay will be . We then show that the assumptions are consequences of a simple non-linear, stochastic modification of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with setting the scale of the non-linearity.
