What’s out there?

• How does gravity behave in the quantum regime? • What creates the pattern of quark and lepton masses? • What keeps the electroweak scale light? • What drives inflation? • How do and dark energy fit in the picture? • …

I had sent you the manuscript for publication and had not authorized you to show it to specialists before it is printed. I see no reason to address the − in any case erroneous − comments of your anonymous expert.
