Skeptical.
Since the last activity on this thread in March, 2023, newer experiments have shown a persistent discrepancy with the Standard Model... -
ohwilleke replied to the thread High School Can anyone deeply understand relativity?.A frequently meaning of "using natural units" is to omit c=h=1 from the notation entirely. -
ohwilleke replied to the thread High School Can anyone deeply understand relativity?.Strong disagree on this point. A novice should be meticulous about fully displaying all units and continue to do so until the person... -
ohwilleke reacted to WWGD's post in the thread Studying Correlating IQ and STEM performance with
Like.
Scientist Dave Epstein, who studies success and performance, agrees with you here. -
ohwilleke replied to the thread Studying Correlating IQ and STEM performance.I think that you are almost surely wrong. When I first moved to Denver, I looked at detailed statistics about various kinds of... -
ohwilleke replied to the thread Studying Correlating IQ and STEM performance.My guess is that the OP is getting at something along the lines of the analysis of this paper (discussed further by one of the authors... -
ohwilleke replied to the thread Undergrad If gravity is emergent, how does this affect string theory and loop quantum gravity?.SUSY also isn't just up against the LHC results. SUSY was touted as a source of a dark matter particle candidate, and SUSY dark matter... -

The basic idea of string theory is that everything is emergent from the underlying string dynamics, including not just gravity but all... -
ohwilleke replied to the thread Undergrad If gravity is emergent, how does this affect string theory and loop quantum gravity?.Gravity is not emergent in M theory and F theory in the same sense that it is in entropic gravity theories, i.e. in M theory and F... -
ohwilleke replied to the thread Undergrad If gravity is emergent, how does this affect string theory and loop quantum gravity?.There are emergent gravity theories that are intimately related to entropy concepts such as S. Shamari, A. Sheykhi, "Resolving Galactic... -
ohwilleke replied to the thread Undergrad Is infinity a necessary concept?.Also worth mentioning that many significant aspects of mathematics involve finding ways to get results that avoid infinities, and in the... -
