Description
Douglas introduced the notion of stringy naturalness: the value of an
observable in string theory is more natural if more phenomenologically acceptable
landscape vacua lead to its value versus some other value.
I compare this notion of naturalness to other conventional measures. Stringy
naturalness applied to the electroweak scale seems to imply a Higgs mass
mh~125 GeV with all sparticles currently beyond the reach of LHC Run 2.
