Abstract
The possibility of producing non-perturbative low-scale gravity states in collider experiments was first discussed in about 1998. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have searched for non-perturbative low-scale gravity states using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with a proton--proton centre of mass energy of 8 TeV. These experiments have now seriously confronted the possibility of producing non-perturbative low-scale gravity states which were proposed over 17 years ago. I will summarise the results of the searches, give a personal view of what they mean, and make some predictions for 13 TeV centre of mass energy. I will also discuss early ATLAS 13 TeV centre of mass energy results.
