Am I the only one who finds it odd that there is a field of study (quantum mechanics) for which the “foundation” of it is as of yet not certain?
Great news, Sheldon can go back to it.
Speaking of spooky action: How do they know there is are two particles occupying multiple states at once?
The problem with string theory is its lack of predictive ability. The equations have so many arbitrary parameters that it can model basically anything.
M-theory has been around for a long time (since 1995). It constrains some values forthose arbitrary parameters, but the model still doesn’t have any real predictive ability. It’s a nice mathematical framework, but that’s all it really offers.
It’s like saying “climate change is a scientific theory”. Ok, so climate will change. Granted. So from that hypothesis tell me what you the mean world temperature will be in 50 years from now. String theory has the same problem.
My cat is a big supporter of the string theory.
String theory is knot easy to understand.
Ba-da-dum.
Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Tip your wait staff.
Love reading these articles.... I don’t understand them but for some reason I still love reading them.
These chips of almost nothing stacked together add up to a great big universe. How deep does the almost nothing go? Would you eventually run into the problem of being too small to have any physicality at all?
