    It's amazing how far back the galaxy redshift record has been pushed since the late time she updated the presentation before this was posted. JADES-GS-z14-0 is z=14.32 vs. the earliest galaxy quoted here at z=8.68.

    My God, is there at any point any way to relate any of this to the reality we grapple with every day. Did nature really contrive its guts to need such far out beyond the scope of comprehension divination … An ape came along and pulled on a thread/string and all was unravelled/revealed… but nothing that can be tested .. so we are told .. nothing that unifies anything. Hyper rarified mathematics looking for some physical application.

    Nature isn’t bound by any obligation to be intuitively understandable to us. Our brains didn’t evolve to comprehend the Universe, it evolved to pass on our genes. Even so, QFT has been validated experimentally since the 1960s. It is observed experimentally, in the real world, every time a particle accelerator is running (and working correctly).

    Edward Witten is obviously a very high intelligence person. But I don't think he "welcomes" the virtual worship coming from either existing scientists or the public. We cannot automatically assume he is correct about everything even if he has an IQ of 285. Let's appreciate his high IQ. Let's stop the worship. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

    It's a bit ironic how we've arrived at a metaphorical black hole when it comes to the major breakthroughs in theoretical physics. Forty years later and we're still grappling with some of the same fundamental questions these men are exploring, and every path we've tried going down (string theory, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, etc.) has come up short so far. Seems like we're gonna need another Einstein to figure what we haven't yet.

    Do you know what happens if a physics student asks his professor: "What would happen if we rotated the Michelson-Morley interferometer vertically?" The professor's answer usually is: "If you keep asking this kind of question, I'm going to ask you to leave the classroom or I'll fail you in the course".

  • @schmetterling4477
    @schmetterling447719 күн бұрын

    Witten has an extremely keen physical intuition. He didn't stifle anything. What stops us from making the next step in theory is the absence of physical evidence. There is simply not a single observation that contradicts quantum field theory.

    I don't think people grasp how smart Witten is. This dude is one of the smartest people EVER. The ONLY PHYSICIST to ever win a Fields Medal. And he's STILL sharp as a whistle all these years later. He's like some freakish combination of Einstein, Archimedes, Maxwell, Dirac and Poincare. His IQ would break the IQ test.

  • @schmetterling4477
    @schmetterling447719 күн бұрын

    I don't think that's true. The trouble with string theory is that it is most likely just a mesoscopic theory. It works in the strong gravity regime below the event horizon and the singularity plane. It is highly unlikely that it works on the plane itself... but that is not even a testable hypothesis.
