| | | | Last year, in a series of posts, I gave you a tour of quantum field theory, telling you some of what weunderstand and some of what we don't. I still haven't told you the role that string theory plays inquantum field theory today, but I am going to give you a brief tour of string... | |

| | | | Making certain a wing and fuselage design in a new airplane works as expected is critical before the airplane flies. It also isn't easy. The dynamics of air flow is complicated and the number of variables so enormous that the computation of fluid dynamics for plane has been beyond the capacity of most computers. Simulations... | |

| | | | Merging quantum mechanics and gravity is a famously hard physics problem. Explaining why merging quantum mechanics and gravity is hard is, in turn, a very hard science communication problem. The more popular descriptions tend to lead to misunderstandings, and I've posted many times over the years to chip away at those misunderstandings. Merging quantum mechanics... | |

| | There's been some buzz around a recent Quanta article by K. C. Cole, The Strange Second Life of String Theory. I found it a bit simplistic of a take on the topic, so I thought I'd offer a different one. String theory has been called the particle physicist's approach to quantum gravity. Other approaches use... |
