  I introduce the critical pomeron theory ("white pomeron") proposed by Alan
White, with its prediction of excessive WW and ZZ production at the LHC
especially by double pomeron exchange (DPE), which is a crucial test. This
theory implies dramatic effects in cosmic rays, possibly explaining the knee
and high ET jet excesses. Some of the ultra high energy (UHE) cosmic rays may
be "Superbaryons" made of color sextet Quarks, and most (all?) UHE collisions
in the atmosphere may produce W's and Z's.
