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…
Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Number of Potentially Habitable Planets
McCullen Sandora
How good is our universe at making habitable planets? The answer to this depends on which factors are important for life: Does a planet need to be Earth mass? Does it need to be in…
Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: The Number of Stars and their Properties
McCullen Sandora
In a multiverse setting, we expect to be situated in a universe that is exceptionally good at producing life. Though the conditions for what life needs to arise and thrive are curr…
