abstract
We like to investigate the idea of taking as non-accidental a remarkably good agreement of our (C.D. Froggatt and myself, and also with Yasutaka Takanishi) prediction of the Higgs mass. Our modernized most simple "multiple point principle" prediction $129.4 \pm 2$ GeV versus the recently observed $126 \pm 1$ GeV agrees well. The PREdicted Higgs mass is essentially the smallest value, that would not make our present vacuum unstable. There are two slightly different versions in as far as we can either use absolute stability by the alternative vacuum being required to have higher energy density than the present one or just metastability requiring that our vacuum should not have decayed in the early time just after big bang (or later if that should be easier). This is of course provided we suppose that the Standard Model would function almost all the way up to the scale relevant for the alternative vacuum (which as we shall see is close to the Planck energy scale for the Higgs field expectation value). The principle we used to our PREdiction were the requirement of degenerate vacua which we called "multiple point principle" and I shall seek to deliver some arguments that this MPP is "nice" to assume, i.e. it is likely to be true.

Revisiting wormhole-induced global symmetry breaking
Ensemble averaging over wormhole α-parameters is dominated by the symmetric point α=0 for spontaneously broken U(1) p-form symmetries, so standard PQ models evade the wormhole-induced axion quality problem.

Possible mixing between elementary and bound state fields in the $t\bar{t}$ production excess at the LHC
Mixing angle between toponium and elementary field Ψ is constrained to |θ| ≤ 13° (minimal model) or |θ| ≤ 1° (2HDM Type II/Y) to fit CMS ttbar excess under MPP.
