GRBs in the cannonball model: An Overview

The cannonball model of GRBs is very overt (and, thus, falsifiable) in its hypothesis and results: all the considerations I review are based on explicit analytical expressions derived, in fair approximations, from first principles. The model provides a good description of all the data on all GRBs of known redshift, has made correct predictions, and is unprecedentedly self-consintent, simple and successful.
