# Six indications of radical new physics in supernovae Ia

## TL;DR

This paper discusses six unresolved puzzles in Type Ia supernovae that may require new, unconfirmed physics beyond the standard models of the 1930s to explain their phenomena.

## Contribution

It identifies six key anomalies in supernova Ia physics that could indicate the need for radical new physics theories.

## Key findings

- Six unresolved puzzles in supernova Ia physics.
- Potential necessity for new physics beyond 1930s models.
- Highlights the gap between current understanding and observations.

## Abstract

After more than forty years since the basic standard model for supernovae Ia was proposed many astronomers are still hopeful that this phenomenon will ultimately be understood in terms of Newtonian gravity plus nuclear and particle physics as they existed in the 1930's. In spite of this fact there are at least six nagging puzzles in supernova physics that suggest some radical new physics input may be necessary. "Radical" in this context means a physics idea that did not exist in the 1930's and that is still not experimentally confirmed in 2017.
