I have a long standing belief the Planck density is the ultimate limit on mass density in the universe - including black hole 'singularities'. Am I hopelessly out of touch with mainstream science? Any input would be appreciated.
Is the Planck Density a Hopelessly Outdated View?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the validity of the Planck density as the ultimate limit on mass density in the universe, particularly regarding black hole singularities. Participants express skepticism about its physical significance and applicability, emphasizing that its relevance hinges on the treatment of quantum gravity. The consensus indicates that while the Planck density is a theoretical construct, its practical implications remain uncertain within the current scientific framework.
