时间Fri Jul 22 01:30:41 2011
※ 引述《graddivcurl (为所应为)》之铭言:
: Hi,
: A. Garrett Lisi is a remarkable physicist. I wrote two short articles
: on him and posted them on the PTT Physics Board about three years ago.
: His 2007 ArXiv preprint (arXiv:0711.0770) has been cited 6 times since
: then (based on Web of Science) by others, including Lee Smolin's 2009
: Physical Review D Paper.
: Interestingly enough, his easy version of his famous E8 story was
: published in Scientific American in Dec of 2010 (Source: Science
: American (2010), Dec: 30-37; Author: A. Garrett Lisi & James Owen
: Weatherall; Title: A geometric theory of everything).
: Hopefully, this article is accessible to current undergrad
: physics majors. In addition, the more-to-explore section at the end
: of this article allows curious readers to devle deeply into
: the subject matter.
: Finally, an experiment to prove or disprove his theory will be
: highly desirable in the near future.
大家想听八卦我就大概讲一下吧,但为甚麽被炮轰切确的理由我已经不太记得了。
他当时刚发完那篇论文後没多久就四处去演讲,演讲的目的并不只是要去说他在
做的东西最主要的是在找合作夥伴。我记得他说他很"孤单",没有甚麽人愿意跟
他合作做他现在在想的这个问题。但台下的物理学家并不相信他的那一篇论文,
我记得理由是说,跟目前"现有的一些模型"有冲突。底下物理学家有很多,还包括
弦论,回圈量子重力论等等的人。至於详情如何就有请专家了!
不过看这种演讲究很精彩,比起只有单纯的presentation有趣多了XD,一来一往的
知识较劲,是科学发展进步的一个因素之一。

1F:→ noonee:所以恐怕要请懂所谓的有冲突的现有模型的人来解释了 07/22 02:01
2F:→ noonee:版上有做弦论的吧?XD 07/22 02:02
3F:推 wohtp:我稍微翻了一下arxiv paper。他看起来还在 tree-level 07/22 08:59
4F:→ wohtp:我稍微翻了一下arxiv paper。他看起来还在 tree-level 07/22 09:04
5F:→ wohtp:打转嘛。虽然在最後稍微提了一句 RG。 07/22 09:05
6F:→ wohtp:我是看不出他跟standard model有什麽矛盾啦。 07/22 09:06
7F:→ wohtp:但是我一定第一个问他 RG flow 跟 hierachy problem。 07/22 09:07
8F:→ psion:Distler说他的群论不及格XD 07/23 10:03
