Astrophysical Naturalness (October 2015)

November 6, 2015 //  by Noam Soker

I suggest that stars introduce mass and density scales that lead to `naturalness’ in the Universe (paper posted to the arXiv).  The combination of the stellar mass scale with the Planck mass and the Chandrasekhar mass leads to a ratio of order unity.  In the pure fundamental particles domain there is no naturalness; either naturalness does not exist or there is a need for a new physics or new particles. The `Astrophysical Naturalness’ offers a third possibility: stars introduce the combinations of, or relations among, known fundamental quantities that lead to naturalness.
