The axion is a hypothetical elementary particle. To understand ourselves and our place in the universe, we should have humility but also self-respect, the physicist writes in a new book. Items 146, 166, and 168 demonstrate the existence of quantum hair observables of stationary black holes that are invisible classically, and violate the classical no hair theorems.

In Item 271 we made the case that there need be no phase transition between this color-flavor locked phase and 3-flavor nuclear matter, and in Item 276 we made went deeper into the analytic theory, and also considered more flavors.
