  Einstein's general theory of relativity poses many problems to the quantum
theory of point particle fields. Among them is the fate of a massive point
particle. Since its rest mass exists entirely within its Schwarzschild radius,
in the classical solutions of Einstein's theory, the respective system should
be a black hole. We address this issue using exact results in a new approach to
quantum gravity based upon well-tested resummation methods in point particle
quantum field theory. We show that the classical conclusion is obviated by
quantum loop effects. We show that our new approach already passes two
theoretical checks with the published literature; for, it reproduces known
results on the one-loop correction to the graviton self-energy in scaler matter
coupled to Einstein's gravity as analyzed by 't Hooft and Veltman and it is
consistent with the asymptotic safety results of Bonnanno and Reuter on the
behavior of Newton's constant in the deep Euclidean regime. Indeed, our
approach is consistent with the black hole phenomenology of the latter authors,
including their results on the final state of the Hawking radiation for an
originally massive black hole. Further black hole related phenomenological
implications are also discussed.
