Which is the current mathematical formulation of M theory, and what are its competitors?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is there anyone intersted in M theory?
 
There is no basic notion of M-theory ,it only exist as a low energy supergravity.Just to support the renormalizability,we extend it in higher energy regime calling M theory.And doing some compactification on a line or circle to give rise to different string theory and then using duality to relate one with another like IIA to IIB.
 

Thread 'The "electroweak eta meson"'

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...

Thread 'Discussion of "Two-Time Physics" (I. Bars) and its potential cosmological implications'

Hello everyone, I am seeking to better understand the conceptual foundations and potential consequences of "Two-Time Physics" (2T-physics), as developed by Itzhak Bars and others. My interest was sparked by a recent paper that attempts to explain anomalous results in particle physics (apparent superluminal propagation of virtual photons) within the framework of 2T-physics: Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.02696 Key quote from the abstract: *"...the problem... can be solved naturally...
