A Monte Carlo model of a Kerr black hole corona shows that photon collisions create a dense electron-positron pair cloud concentrated near the black hole, yielding X-ray temperatures, Compton parameters, and 4-10% polarization consistent with binary black hole observations.

Turbulence-driven magnetic reconnection in the corona of NGC 1068 accelerates protons to ~10^14 eV, producing neutrinos via pp interactions that match IceCube data while gamma rays are attenuated by pair production.
TeV gamma-ray optical depths yield a local EBL intensity consistent with integrated galaxy light to within 25% over 0.5-30 microns and incompatible at 3-5 sigma with near-IR excesses from IRTS and CIBER.
Reexamination of the SO(16)xSO(16)' nonsupersymmetric model for implications on dark energy, vacuum stabilization, dark matter candidates, and gauge-Higgs unification in light of LHC and dark energy data.
