In 2005 it was rigorously shown with string theory methods that there is a lower bound for the ratio of the shear viscosity η and the volume density of entropy s  =  S / V given by η / s ≥ ℏ / ( 4 π k B ) . Here we extend this result in a heuristic manner to other ratios of thermophysical properties. We conjectured that there are rigorous non-zero lower bounds for the Lorenz number L as well as other combinations of equilibrium and transport properties. We suggest that the lower bounds and the corresponding inequalities can be written in terms of the Planck units. We show that some of the proposed new inequalities set severe constraints on the behavior and properties of ordinary matter.
