The cosmological constant problem is the most spectacular failure of dimensional analysis in physics. The most credible explanation so far, requires the existence of a vast landscape of cosmological constant values, including exponentially tuned ones. If we accept the existence of a landscape, it is very likely that also the Higgs boson mass squared varies from vacuum to vacuum. Historically...

New ideas about the origin of dark matter are being driven by experimental progress. Increasingly powerful constraints from direct and indirect detection are leading to the exploration of new masses and interactions for dark matter. I will describe recent developments identifying novel mechanisms for the production of nonthermal dark matter or the depletion of thermal dark matter.
