AI Thread Summary
Recent discussions on the latest theories in physics highlight the importance of exploring new concepts beyond established frameworks like general relativity and classical quantum mechanics. Key areas of interest include advancements in quantum information theory, the implications of chaos theory, and new perspectives on thermodynamics and uncertainty. The conversation emphasizes the need for awareness of emerging ideas that have matured over the last two decades, particularly those with significant consequences for understanding reality and space-time. The pursuit of graduate education in physics is seen as a pathway to engage with these cutting-edge theories. Overall, there is a strong desire for deeper insights into lesser-known yet impactful theories in contemporary physics.

I really want to know what are the latest (i.e. last 20 years) theories in physics?
In astronomy, quantum, space-time, reality, chaos, information, thermodynamics, uncertainty, fusion ect. ect. ect.
What is the main idea and what are the consequences.

Thank you in advance.

Sounds terribly like homework.

Do you really need all theories of the last 20 years? That's a hell of a long list.

Have you done any digging yourself?
 
1.
I assure you this is not homework. You are welcome to invent any test for me (I'm a B.Sc in ME).

2.
I will elaborate: Ideas form the last 20 years that are not basic general relativity, nor any old ideas in classical physics and not basic quantum mechanics.
By 20 years I mean ideas that are new but also those that had time to ripen.
Also I have in mind Ideas that are new, not common and have interesting consequences.

I'm contemplating graduate education (I have M.Sc. in physics in mind) and I feel that there are people in physics research that have ides that are common to them and are not widely known. Furthermore I am very interested in physics and I love it :)
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
