Understand

We present a short and intuitive argument explaining why gravity is non-renormalizable.

The argument is based on black-hole domination of the high energy spectrum of gravity and not on the standard perturbative irrelevance of the gravitational coupling.
This is a pedagogical note, containing textbook material that is widely appreciated by experts and is by no means original.
