SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the latest theories in physics over the past 20 years, specifically excluding classical physics and basic quantum mechanics. Key areas of interest include advancements in quantum theory, space-time concepts, chaos theory, and thermodynamics. Participants emphasize the importance of exploring new and lesser-known ideas that have developed and matured within the scientific community. The conversation highlights the need for deeper understanding and research into these emerging theories as the individual contemplates pursuing a graduate education in physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics and its implications
  • Familiarity with general relativity and its limitations
  • Knowledge of chaos theory and its applications
  • Basic principles of thermodynamics and information theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advancements in quantum entanglement and its implications for reality
  • Explore recent developments in space-time theories, particularly in relation to black holes
  • Investigate the latest findings in chaos theory and its relevance to complex systems
  • Study the principles of information theory as they apply to thermodynamics
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, particularly those interested in advanced theoretical concepts and emerging research areas. This discussion is beneficial for anyone considering graduate studies in physics or seeking to deepen their understanding of contemporary physical theories.

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 :)
