Dear Prof. Dr. Mikhail Shaposhnikov:
Of course, there is a physics between the electroweak and Planck scale. It is infinitesimal. It defines the initial start of the universe. For example, if base-2 notation is applied to the Planck units, there are no less than 64 notations that are well under energies E ∼ 100 GeV, distances l ∼ 10−16cm,
time intervals δt ∼ 10−26s. The baseline is energies (Energy ∼ MP ∼ 1019 GeV), distances (length ∼ 10−33 cm), and time intervals (δt ∼ 10−43s).
We have expressed that as

Dear Prof. Dr. Mikhail Shaposhnikov:
Even though your work, Is there a new physics between electroweak and Planck scale?, is now nine years old, it is still a very helpful read. Because I anticipate reading many of your ArXiv articles, I have started a reference page (this page) to you and your work. If there is ever anything you would like me to add or subtract, just let me know, Thank you.
Warmly,
Bruce

Dear Prof. Dr. Mikhail Shaposhnikov:
I have just discovered your PDF cited above and I immediately also began scrutinizing your ArXiv articles. You’re a scholar’s scholar. I am just a tinkerer.
To your most provocative question, “Is there a new physics between electroweak and Planck scale?, I would answer with a definitive, “Yes” so every statement and every bit of analysis you make is important to me.
I assume Lemaître’s infinitesimal, primordial atom (sphere) is defined by the Planck base units. If so, we have a rate of 18.5 tredecillion spheres per second. To get a handle on that expansion, we used base-2 notation and encapsulate the universe from that Planck Time to the current time, all within 202 notations. Simple. Straightforward. And, totally idiosyncratic.
Could the Planck base units render one infinitesimal sphere per unit of Planck Time? Thank you.
With highest regards,
Bruce
PS. I’ve been to Lausanne several times, and to Russia many times, and to Moscow State once.
Have you ever considered co-authoring an article with Ed Frenkel? Thank you. -BEC
