The PIs research will encompass a broad program of studies, including nuclear physics, particle physics, general relativity, string theory and cosmology. Fundamental impacts will come from phenomenological studies in nuclear and particle physics, which will extract the fullest possible implications of data from existing experiments and those anticipated in the near future. Such work is important in testing the validity of the currently accepted Standard Model of elementary particles, as well as providing tools for the anticipated discovery of physics beyond the Standard Model. Further fundamental impact will come from theoretical work in general relativity, string theory and cosmology which will probe the foundation of our most basic concepts about the Universe by exploring new theories which aim to extend what is already known. In particular the PIs will work on hadronic parity violation, Baryogenesis, rare charm decays, higher derivative gravity theory, and Randall-Sundrum models of black holes. They also intend to work on effective theories of gravity, cosmology and dark energy. Broader impact will accrue through participation in novel interdisciplinary courses presenting a panorama of science to highly motivated students. Further impacts will come from a unique venture "Big Bang Radio" which will present frontier science to a general audience through well-crafted radio programs. The PIs have also been involved in writing a second edition of dynamics of the standard model and Kastor has created an interdisciplinary course-Cosmos to Humanity given through the universities honors program.

PIS研究将涵盖广泛的研究计划，包括核物理学，粒子物理学，一般相对论，弦理论和宇宙学。基本影响将来自核和粒子物理学中的现象学研究，这将从现有实验和在不久的将来预期的数据中最大程度地含义。这种工作对于测试当前接受的基本粒子标准模型的有效性以及为预期发现标准模型以外的物理学发现的工具很重要。进一步的基本影响将来自一般相对，弦理论和宇宙学中的理论工作，这将通过探索旨在扩展已经知道的新理论来探讨我们对宇宙的最基本概念的基础。 特别是，PI将处理抗强烈平价违规，男性生成，罕见的魅力衰减，更高的衍生性重力理论和黑洞的Randall-Sundrum模型。他们还打算就重力，宇宙学和暗能量的有效理论进行工作。通过参加新颖的跨学科课程，向高度积极进取的学生展示科学全景，将产生更广泛的影响。 进一步的影响将来自独特的冒险“大爆炸广播”，该公司将通过精心制作的广播节目向一般受众展示边境科学。 PI还参与了标准模型的第二版动力学，Kastor创建了通过大学荣誉计划给予人类的跨学科课程。
