new hypothesis claims to solve 5 of the biggest problems in physics
Physicists have come up with a new model that they say solves five of the biggest unanswered questions in modern physics, explaining the weirdness of dark matter, neutrino oscillations, baryogenesis, cosmic inflation, and the strong CP problem all at once.
Big hopes were in supersymmetry too, and yet nothing has been found. It’s better to not be too much excited about a physics model until it’s proven at least plausible: there are many interesting completion of the Standard Model that will be nonetheless proven false. In this model, the axion is in the same field with the inflaton, which is something I think has never been done before, so it’s interesting. It’s a good thing that it will be testable, so we’ll see.

Unifying inflation with the axion, dark matter, baryogenesis and the seesaw mechanism
We add to the SM three right-handed SM-singlet neutrinos, a new vector-like color triplet fermion and a complex SM singlet scalar
