| | | | | 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... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] The article discusses the intersection of science and philosophy, highlighting the importance of empirical evidence and the scientific method in advancing knowledge. It critiques postmodern science studies for lacking scientific rigor and credibility, referencing the Sokal hoax as a key example. The piece also touches on the contributions of non-Western societies to science and the need for diversity in the scientific community. Ultimately, it concludes that while philosophical reflection has value, it should not replace the empirical foundation of scientific research. | |

| | | Over the past few years, ever since writing "If Susan Can Learn Physics, So Can You", I've been contacted by people from all backgrounds who are inspired and want to learn physics, but don't know where to start, what to learn, what to read, and how to structure their studies...this post is a condensed version of what I've sent to people who have contacted me over the years, outlining what everyone needs to learn in order to really understand physics. | ||
