Biosignature Surveys to Exoplanet Yields and Beyond

McCullen Sandora, Joseph Silk

Upcoming biosignature searches focus on indirect indicators to infer the presence of life on other worlds. Aside from just signaling the presence of life, however, some biosignatur…

Symmetries from Locality. II. Gravitation and Lorentz Boosts

Mark P. Hertzberg, Jacob A. Litterer, McCullen Sandora

It is known that local, Lorentz invariant, unitary theories involving particles with spin 1 demand that the matter sector they couple to are organized by internal physical symmetri…

OWL-MOON : Very high resolution spectro-imaging and Earth-Moon interferometry: exoplanets to cosmology

J. Schneider, J. Silk, F. Vakili +5

We address three major questions in astronomy, namely the detection of biosignatures on habitable exoplanets, the geophysics of exoplanets and cosmology. To achieve this goal, two…

Dark Matter and Naturalness

Mark P. Hertzberg, McCullen Sandora

The Standard Model of particle physics is governed by Poincaré symmetry, while all other symmetries, exact or approximate, are essentially dictated by theoretical consistency with…

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Fraction of Life that Develops Intelligence

McCullen Sandora

Do mass extinctions affect the development of intelligence? If so, we may expect to be in a universe that is exceptionally placid. We consider the effects of impacts, supervolcanoe…

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Fraction of Planets that Develop Life

McCullen Sandora

In a multiverse context, determining the probability of being in our particular universe depends on estimating its overall habitability compared to other universes with different v…
