Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays from the Local Void
Michael J. Padgett, Thomas W. Kephart
Ultra high energy cosmic rays have been see coming from the direction of the local cosmic void. We use this fact to argue that at least some of these these cosmic rays are relative…
Additional TeV-Scale Particles Predicted by Quartification
Paul H. Frampton, Thomas W. Kephart
The LHC has failed to discover any new elementary particle since the Higgs boson completed the standard model in 2012, Here we adopt the attractive method of quiver gauge field the…
Partial Relief of the Hubble Tension and a Natural Self-Interacting Dark Matter Candidate From Staged Symmetry Breaking
Zachary J. Hoelscher, Thomas W. Kephart, Robert J. Scherrer +1
The values of the Hubble constant () inferred from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and local measurements via the distance ladder exhibit a tension. In thi…
Cosmological Budget of Entropy from Merging Black Holes
Siyuan Chen, Karan Jani, Thomas W. Kephart
Black holes contain more entropy than any other component of the observable universe. Gravitational-wave observations from LIGO and Virgo have shown evidence of a previously unknow…
