The main motivation for this theory is that the Planck energy should be the scale where as yet unknown [[quantum gravity]] effects become important and, due to invariance of physical laws, this scale should remain fixed in all inertial frames.<ref name="Hossenfelder2006"> {{Cite journal |first=S. |last=Hossenfelder |title=Interpretation of Quantum Field Theories with a Minimal Length Scale |journal=[[Physical Review D]] |volume=73 |issue= 10|pages= 105013|year=2006 |arxiv=hep-th/0603032 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevD.73.105013 |bibcode = 2006PhRvD..73j5013H |s2cid=34343593 }}</ref>
