The Importance of Quantum Field Theory Principles

Johann levgrin says he is worried that the issue of naturalness is being swept under the rug from effective field theory principles. We expect the standard model higgs mass and cosmotro constant to be much larger than what we have measured. The only room for changing the dynamics of the known fields is in their higher order interactions, riht how an electron a interacts with two photons at once,. or something like that. In order to have this kind of effect, we either need truly new fields which are pushing around thestandard model in some non obvious way, or we need something dramatically different. That's really what people want - they don't care about higher order operators on
