# Background material
- Fundamental (particle) Physics has no progress since the 1970s.
- discovery of Higgs is confirmation of old Physics. - other predicted fundamental particles has never been discovered.
- smallness of Higgs mass - smallness of the cosmological constants
- separation of scales—UV (small scales) can be treated as a cut off of IR (large scales).
The 2 fine tuning problems above are examples that are UV-sensitive, unlike other usual examples in EFT.
This is hint of physics that mixes UV and IR scale: example of black hole—higher energy -> larger event horizon.

# Background material
- Fundamental (particle) Physics has no progress since the 1970s.
- Fine tuning problems - reductionism as Kenneth Wilson's concept of effective field theory (EFT) # Main messageThe 2 fine tuning problems above are examples that are UV-sensitive, unlike other usual examples in EFT.
