A fairy tale of winter - a theory about dark energy, dark matter, and inflation

Abstract

Abstract This fairy tale begins with the journey of the famous Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly: I often do not know whether I am living in a dream, dreaming of a butterfly, or is a butterfly dreaming of me? Furthermore, there is the saying that those who believe it will see it, while for those who see it, it is then too late to believe it. The first thing I believe in is the holographic principle, and the holographic dark energy brought about by the holographic principle. Not until last year, I began to believe that there must be a new energy scale in between the Planck scale and the standard model scale. I also believe that this new scale is related to the minimal axion model. The results of the journey described in this paper are the following: 1. There is a new energy scale, which we will call the intermediate energy scale, and the best choice is 10 12 GeV. 2. The minimal axion exists, and under the new scale, there is no new physics. The axion plays both the roles of inflation and dark matter. New physics between the new scale and the Planck scale may exist because in this energy range, quantum gravity becomes important. 3. The dark energy is holographic dark energy. Then all of the observable effects of all three predictions about dark energy, dark matter, and cosmic inflation are to be observed.
