reading these new jacobsen papers, yesterday.
a few questions came up

Does Jacobsen tries to solve Cosmological constant problem with these papers ?

The central issue in my view is the origin of the outgoing modes [18]. In a con-
densed matter model with a UV cutoff these must arise from somewhere other than
the near horizon region, either from “superluminal” modes behind the horizon, from
“subluminal” modes that are dragged towards the horizon and then released, or from
no modes at all. The last scenario refers to the possibility that modes “assemble”
from microscopic degrees of freedom in the near horizon region. This seems most
likely the closest to what happens near a spacetime black hole, and for that reason
deserves to be better understood. Other than a linear model that has been studied
in the cosmological context [19], and a linear model of quantum field theory on a
1+1 dimensional growing lattice [20], I don’t know of any work focusing on how to
characterize or study such a process.

No, he does not.
 
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 post #549 here I answered: And then I was surprised by the comment of Tom, asking how the pairing was done. Well, I thought that I had discussed it in some thread in BSM, but after looking at it, it seems that I did only a few sparse remarks here and there. On other hand, people was not liking to interrupt the flow of the thread and I have been either contacted privately or suggested to open a new thread. So here it is. The development can be traced in some draft papers...
