Are The Laws Of Nature Beautiful? (2Nd Majority Trailer)

Here is the other video trailer for my majority "Lost inward Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray".

Since I accept been asked repeatedly, allow me emphasize in ane lawsuit again that the majority is aimed at non-experts, or "the interested lay-reader" equally they say. You produce non demand to convey whatever background noesis inward math or physics and, no, in that place are no equations inward the book, merely a few numbers. It's actually close the inquiry what nosotros hateful past times "beautiful theories" in addition to how that bespeak for beauty affects scientists' enquiry interests. You volition empathize that without equations.

The majority has meanwhile been read past times several non-physicists in addition to none of them reported cracking levels of frustration, in addition to then I accept argue to remember I roughly aimed at the correct degree of technical detail.

Having said that, the majority should too last of involvement for y'all if y'all are a physicist, non because I explicate what the measure model is, but because y'all volition function out to listen what around come about people inward the plain remember close the electrical flow situation. (And I swear I was dainty to them. My reputation is far worse than I.)

You detect a tabular array of contents, in addition to a listing of people who I interviewed, equally good equally transcripts of the video trailers on the majority website.

Outraged Nigh The Google Multifariousness Memo? One Desire You Lot To Mean Value Nigh It.

Chairs. [ Image: Verco ] That leaked internal memo from James Damore at Google ? The 1 that says 1 shouldn’t hold off employees inwards all professions to reverberate the demographics of the whole population? Well, that was a pretty dumb affair to write. But non because it’s wrong. Dumb is that Damore thought he could receive got a reasoned give-and-take close this. In the USA, out of all places. The version of Damore’s memo that get-go appeared on Gizmodo missed references together with images. But meanwhile, the multifariousness memo has its ain website together with it comes with links together with graphics. Damore’s strikes me equally a pamphlet produced past times a well-meaning, but also utterly clueless, immature white man. He didn’t deserve to get fired for this. He deserved mayhap a slap on the too-quickly typing fingers. But inwards his world, bespeak for give-and-take is evidently plenty to learn fired. I don’t commonly write close the underrepresentation of wo...

Dear Dr B: Should 1 Report String Theory?

Strings. [image: freeimages.com ] “Greetings doctor Hossenfelder! I am a Princeton physics major who regularly reads your wonderful blog. I lately came across a curious passage inwards Brian Greene’s introduction to a reprint edition of Einstein's Meaning of Relativity which claims that: “Superstring theory successfully merges full general relativity in addition to quantum mechanics [...] Moreover, non exclusively does superstring theory merge full general relativity with quantum mechanics, but it also has the capacity to comprehend — on an equal reason — the electromagnetic force, the weak force, in addition to the strong force. Within superstring theory, each of these forces is merely associated with a dissimilar vibrational designing of a string. And so, similar a guitar chord composed of 4 dissimilar notes, the 4 forces of nature are united inside the music of superstring theory. What’s more, the same goes for all of thing every bit well. The electron, the quarks,...

Particle Physics Right Away Belly Up

Particle physics. Artist’s impression. Professor Ben Allanach is a particle physicist at Cambridge University. He exactly wrote an promotion for my book that appeared on Aeon roughly days agone nether the championship “Going Nowhere Fast” . I’m kidding of course, Allanach’s essay has no relation to my book. At to the lowest degree non that I know of. But it’s non a coincidence he writes virtually the really problems that I also speak over inward my book . After all, the whole argue I wrote the mass was that this province of affairs was foreseeable: The Large Hadron Collider hasn’t institute prove for whatever novel particles likewise the Higgs-boson (at to the lowest degree non thence far), thence at i time particle physicists are at a loss for how to proceed. Even if they uncovering something inward the information that’s nonetheless to come, it is clear already that their predictions were wrong. Theory-development inward particle physics for the terminal forty years has work...
