Abstract
Imposing the constraint that the Standard Model effective Higgs potent ial should have two degenerate minima (vacua), one of which should be - order of magnitude wise - at the Planck scale, leads to the top mass being 173 +/- 5 GeV and the Higgs mass 135 +/- 9 GeV. This requiremen t of the degeneracy of different phases is a special case of what we c all the multiple point criticality principle. In the present work we u se the Standard Model all the way to the Planck scale, and do not intr oduce supersymmetry or any extension of the Standard Model gauge group . A possible model to explain the multiple point criticality principle is lack of locality fundamentally.
