I present a theory where neutrinos have much stronger self-interaction among themselves than in the Standard Model. An intriguing connection is pointed out to sterile neutrino dark matter. The presence of the new interaction allows the dark matter relic density to be successfully produced in the early universe while remain in tact with the present indirect detection constraints. I will show...

NONLOCALITY: Despite numerous exquisite experimental verifications of quantum (Bell) nonlocality (1), Bell’s insights have not led to any new consensus for the ontology of spacetime. This is problematic because there are serious conceptual difficulties in reconciling nonlocal EPR correlations with the metric properties of Minkowskian 4D spacetime. Simply, how is nonlocality sustainable...
