      abstract     = {I am considering Veltman's 'The Infrared - Ultraviolet
                      Connection' addressing the issue of quadratic divergences
                      and the related huge radiative correction predicted by the
                      electroweak Standard Model (SM) in the relationship between
                      the bare and the renormalized theory, commonly called 'the
                      hierarchy problem' which usually is claimed that this has to
                      be cured. After the discovery of the Higgs particle at CERN,
                      which essentially completed the SM, an amazing interrelation
                      of the leading interaction strengths of the gauge bosons,
                      the top-quark and the Higgs boson showed up amounting that
                      the SM allows for a perturbative extrapolation of the
                      running couplings up to the Planck scale. The central
                      question concerns the stability of the electroweak vacuum,
                      which requires that the running Higgs self-coupling stays
                      positive. Although several evaluations seem to favor the
                      meta-stability within the experimental and theoretical
                      parameter-uncertainties, one should not exclude the
                      possibility that other experiments and improved matching
                      conditions will be able to establish the absolute stability
                      of the SM vacuum in the future. I will discuss the stable
                      vacuum scenario and its impact on early cosmology, revealing
                      the Higgs boson as the inflaton. It turns out that the
                      Standard Model's presumed 'hierarchy problem' and similarly
                      the 'cosmological constant problem' resolve themselves when
                      we understand the SM as a low energy effective tail that is
                      emergent from a cutoff-medium at the Planck scale. 'The
                      Infrared - Ultraviolet Connection' conveyed by the Higgs
                      boson mass renormalization appears in a new light when the
                      energy dependence of the SM couplings is taken into account.
                      The bare Higgs boson mass square then changes sign below the
                      Planck scale where it is activating the Higgs mechanism. At
                      the same time, it reveals that the SM towards the Planck
                      scale is in the symmetric phase, where the Higgs potential
                      provides a high dark energy density triggering inflation,
                      and four heavy Higgs bosons which decay and thereby are
                      reheating the inflated early universe.},
