Can Gravitational Wave Data on Binary Black Hole Collisions constrain Beyond-Standard-Model Particle Spectrum?

The talk briefly reviews how gravitational wave data from 
binary black hole collisions validate Hawking's black hole area theorem. 
Based on this, and the Generalized second law of thermodynamics, in a 
universe with black holes, an absolute consistency criterion is proposed 
on the logarithmic corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking Area Formula 
for black hole entropy. Two seemingly disparate approaches to quantum 
gravity are then examined, in an attempted amalgamation, vis-a-vis the 
absolute consistency criterion emerging from BBHC-GW data validating the 
Hawking Theorem. This exercise appears to impose indirect constraints on 
the Beyond-Standard-Model elementary particle spectrum.
