Abstract

Holography principle imposes a stringent constraint on the scale of quantum gravity MM_* in brane-world scenarios, where all matter is confined on the brane. The thermodynamic entropy of astrophysical black holes and sub-horizon volumes during big bang nucleosynthesis exceed the relevant bounds unless M>10(46)M_* > 10^{(4-6)} TeV, so a hierarchy relative to the weak scale is unavoidable. We discuss the implications for extra dimensions as well as holography.
