Whether string theory can live up to its claim of being a 'theory of everything', and whether it will ever produce a falsifiable prediction as such, remain hotly debated questions. Meanwhile, developments in a quieter side-alley (1-8) indicate that t...
A theory of everything (TOE) that unites string theory and the standard model. For decades, scientists have been trying to devise a single unified theory to explain all known physical phenomena, but a model that appears to unite everything has existed fo
When I mentioned my new lack of health coverage to American acquaintances, several explained that they themselves had lived without health insurance for years—some because they couldn’t afford it, but others just because they didn’t think it was necessary. What tends to happen in practice is...
One day, when we were both working embedded in the offices of Sapient, an agency we were using to redesign our website, she came in and was obviously in a very bad way. I asked her if everything was OK, and she wailed, “Oh, Fred, Elvis is dead!” and glommed onto me for a...
The Theory of Everything, the Stephen Hawking biopic out this week, stars Eddie Redmayne as Hawking and Felicity Jones as his first wife, Jane. The New York Times’ Dennis Overbye has criticized the film for eliding and oversimplifying Hawking’s scientific advancements, and indeed the film ...
The process of the formation of the Earth-Moon system is just a normally occurred harmonious process since the universe is orderly managed holistic system. No such thing as violent giant impact between two fully-fledged protoplanets, nothing is violent, nothing is chaotic, but everything is harmo...
Thus the principle of tunnel-bond duality is one of the key unification element that can be used to propound the theory of everything. When using this principle to describe the essential nature of the sun-earth-connected gravito-electromagnetic bond, we can easily understand that the process ...
His wife, Gerrie, was still working inthe local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. T he Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. T hen Dave and Gerrie received a timely ...
As a theoretical physicist, I'd prefer The Absolutely Amazing Theory of Almost Everything. That's what the Standard Model really is. Many recall the excitement among scientists and media over the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson. But that much-ballyhooed event didn't come out of the blue ...
Quantum theory provides an extremely accurate description of fundamental processes in physics. It thus seems likely that the theory is applicable beyond the, mostly microscopic, domain in which it has been tested experimentally. Here, we propose a Gedank
