All possible models to explain the hierarchy problem?
There is an interesting paper by Arkani-Hamed and collaborators (https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06821) to address the hierarchy problem.

There, they consider many possible models of fundamental particle physics where they all have an exact copy of the Standard Model but with different Higgs masses.

However, they indicate that this assumption is done for simplicity, but that we could relax these assumptions and consider models with greater differences

At the beginning, they say:

The first step is to introduce N sectors which are mutually non-interacting. The detailed particle content of these sectors is unimportant, with the exception that the Standard Model (SM) should not be atypical; many sectors should contain scalars, chiral fermions, unbroken gauge groups, etc. For simplicity, we imagine that they are exact copies of the SM, with the same gauge and Yukawa structure.

And at the end:

However, it is easy to imagine a broader class of theories that realizes the same mechanism. We can relax the assumption that the Higgs masses are uniformly spaced (or even pulled from a uniformly distribution) or that all the new sectors are exact copies of the SM. It is also possible to construct different models of reheating, with new physics near the weak scale to modify the UV behavior of the theory.All of this made me wonder: Are they saying that we could relax the assumptions of the model so that it would even include all possible UV theories (meaning all possible "microscopic" or "high-energy" physics, such as the different theories of quantum gravity and theories of everything proposed so far)?
 
This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
In LQG and LQC there are solutions called "black to white transition". I'll add some references: (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.07251 (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.03872 (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.06330 (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.04264 (Rovelli)https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12823 https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.02691 https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.07589 https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.01788 https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.12646 https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.03027...
Hello everyone, I am seeking to better understand the conceptual foundations and potential consequences of "Two-Time Physics" (2T-physics), as developed by Itzhak Bars and others. My interest was sparked by a recent paper that attempts to explain anomalous results in particle physics (apparent superluminal propagation of virtual photons) within the framework of 2T-physics: Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.02696 Key quote from the abstract: *"...the problem... can be solved naturally...
