Cover Story: Gravitational waves offer new insights into astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. Measurements of stellar-mass binaries and neutron star mergers constrain possible new physics such as a graviton mass and Lorentz violation. Astronomical measurements of the neutron star mergers induced by the emission of gravitational waves provide evidence for the production of heavy elements, possibly including some essential for human life. The gravitational waves observed by Pulsar Timing Arrays may have been due to supermassive black hole binaries or novel cosmological scenarios such as cosmic strings or phase transitions in the early Universe. The answer to the question posed in the title may come from higher-frequency measurements by LISA and atom interferometers. View this paper

Massive Graviton from Diffeomorphism Invariance

  • João M. L. de Freitas and
  • Iberê Kuntz

In this work, we undertake a comprehensive study of the functional measure of gravitational path integrals within a general framework involving non-trivial configuration spaces. As in Riemannian geometry, the integration over non-trival configuration...

Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), composed of protons and atomic nuclei, are accelerated in sources such as supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae, reaching energies up to the PeV range. As they propagate through the interstellar medium, their interac...

In this study, we discuss a series of eight energy scales, some of which are our own speculations, and fit the logarithms of these energies as a straight line versus a quantity related to the dimensionalities of action terms in a way to be defined in...
