Abstract
The new theories developed by the particle physicists during the last decade about the structure of matter at small distances are important for astrophysics in several respects. These theories give us an insight into the dynamics of matter at extremely high densities and temperatures, i.e. in situations which are encountered in the collapse of massive stars and in the first moments after the birth of the universe (provided, the current theories about the “hot big bang” are correct). The unified theories of quarks and leptons provide us with a possibility to understand the generation of baryons shortly after the big bang. Furthermore it might turn out that the gravitational spacetime dynamics of the universe is dominated by huge “clouds” of massive neutrinos.
