Self-organized criticality

Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld's 1987 paper linked together these factors: a simple cellular automaton was shown to produce several characteristic features observed in natural complexity (fractal geometry, 1/f noise and power laws) in a way that could be linked to critical-point phenomena.

Silicon photomultiplier

# G vs Vb dependence is linear, does not follow a power law like in the case of PMTs

Hierarchy problem

Supersymmetry removes the power-law divergences of the radiative corrections to the Higgs mass and solves the hierarchy problem as long as the supersymmetric particles are light enough to satisfy the BarbieriGiudice criterion.
