Let's not kid ourselves: everything we think we know now is just an approximation to something we haven't yet found out. That is the frustrating, exhilarating lesson history teaches us about fundamental theories of nature. Take Newton's universal law of gravity. It did sterling service ...
What if everything happens for a reason?Burnt toast theory,a modern view on this classic idea,suggests that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason. Imagine you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work.According to burnt toast the...
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 ...
String theory might be the theory of everything… or a flawed framework for theoretical physics.When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. String theory turns the page on the standard description of the universe by replacing all ma...
allowing individuals to take ownership of their work and operate with minimal supervision. They provide minimal guidance or intervention, trusting individuals to work independently. Thisleadership theorycan be effective when working with highly skilled and self-motivated employees, but it may lack directio...
Suppose that you are given a problem to solve, I don't care what kind of a problem—a machine to design, or a physical theory to develop, or a mathematical theorem to prove, or something of that kind – probably a very powerful approach to this is toattempt to eliminate everything fro...
These expectations live unconsciously in employees’ heads. When employees feel like their expectations are matched by the company’s behaviour, everything is fine. Can The Psychological Contract Lead To Higher Staff Turnover? Because a psychological contract is based on an employee’s sense of fair...
There are links to the laws of physics too. String theory, known as "the theory of everything," which emerged from the work of numerous physicists, suggests that the building blocks of the universe are not particles but incredibly tiny strings. ...
General relativity has passed all the experimental tests so far, but its applicability is expected to break down when [the] effects of quantum mechanics (the theory of the very small particles) should become dominant. General relativity and gravitational lensing ...
