To compound things, there is a third generation heavier again than the second whose electron partner is called the tau particle. But for me what is so appealing about Weinstein's ideas is the naturalness of the story, the way things aren't arbitrarily inserted to make the theory fit the data but instead emerge as a necessary part of the mathematics. But they didn’t know that. It emerges naturally from the theory.

And just as Einstein's general theory of relativity took some years to stabilise there are likely to be modifications to the theory before it is complete. Weinstein believes we should instead start with the basic geometric tools of general relativity and work at extending the equations in mathematically natural ways, without worrying whether they fit with the observable universe. En mayo de 2013, Weinstein pronunció una conferencia, Unidad geométrica, que Marcus du Sautoy consideró como una posible respuesta a algunos de los problemas de la física moderna. I would like to say that the faster than light neutrino gjys always get a bad wrap. Weinstein's theory answers this in spades. His unpublished theory includes an "observerse," a 14-dimensional space, and predictions for undiscovered particles which he stated could account for dark matter. The Field Equations control the curvature of space-time and represent our theory of gravity, whereas the Yang-Mills and Dirac equations represent our theory of particle interactions on a quantum level. This is such a major project spanning huge stretches of mathematics and physics that it will take some time to realise the full implications of the ideas. It was an extremely exciting, daring proposal, but also mathematically so natural that one could not but feel that it smelled right. I tend to agree with Roger Penrose that spin has been one of the great mysteries in quantum mechanics. [9]​[14]​, En su artículo en Los Angeles Review of Books, Jacob Hamburger describe la intelectual dark web como "El primer movimiento intelectual que surgió durante la presidencia de Trump."[15]​. Going back to his days as a graduate student, he has been working on some of his own far out of the mainstream ideas about geometry and physics (which I’ve never seen the details of). [4]​ Pocos físicos asistieron a esta conferencia y las conclusiones fueron recibidas con escepticismo por varios comentaristas. ”. The metric tensor is a symmetric bilinear form, so 10 components in 4 d. So, you could make a bundle over your 4d spacetime, with 10d fibers given by the symmetric bilinear forms on the tangent space. I know Eric pretty well, and he’s not doing this to get attention, get on TV, get a book deal, etc. But Weinstein's symmetry is predicting that we will see new particles with spin 3/2 exhibiting familiar responses to the nongravitational forces together with a slew of new exotic particles with familiar spin but unfamiliar responses to the forces of the standard model. Both theories have been incredibly successful in describing the physical world, but they are not compatible with each other. What was the logic in that? Weinstein's new perspective gives rise to equations that provide a coherent mathematical justification for why this extra term should be there. Yes, he really needs to get a paper written so others can see what he has, but it’s not because he’s trying to get attention that he hasn’t done that yet. I think Eric’s tweet from May 29 is instructive: “You’ll get an article whenever I’ve time to finish one & only because I really want to give you one. D. who has been working as an economist here in New York for many years, and someone I’ve often enjoyed talking to over the years. I’m not sure when he’ll have a paper out on the arXiv, or whether some sort of version of his lecture will be available. Most physicists working on unification are trying to create a quantum version of general relativity, informed by the list of particles in the standard model of physics. Those who missed it the first time need only wait 2 more days — for it seems Weinstein is giving a re-run this Friday at 2pm in the Mathematical Institute in Oxford. [1]​ Escribe sobre inversiones, capitalismo, ciencia y matemáticas. He spoke at the invitation of Marcus du Sautoy, an Oxford mathematician who now inhabits Richard Dawkins' former position as the Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science. Our current theory of gravity predicts that there is a lot more matter in the universe than the stuff we can see. The beautiful thing for me is that Weinstein's symmetry group doesn't just appear out of nowhere. Anyway, that story doesn’t really have much to do with this one. What is so compelling about the geometry involving this larger symmetry group is that it explains why you get two copies of something with 16 particles but also that the third generation is something of an imposter. Theory is needed to tell you where to look. If I am not mistaken, in an effective field theory approach of SM + Einstein-Hilbert, the cosmological constant appears automatically as a counterterm. Right now, I just don’t see the problem of Weinstein getting too much attention for his ideas as a major one for physics. “One proposal for the source of this push involves reintroducing the cosmological constant into Einstein’s Field Equations. AFAIK they stood up there and said we have this data, we can’t get rid of it, it looks funky, and we ask you help in showing where we went wrong. Se graduó en la Universidad de Pensilvania en 1985 y se doctoró en física matemática en el Departamento de Matemáticas de la Universidad de Harvard en 1992. Hi Peter, I’m a teeny bit surprised at your reaction – isn’t this exactly the sort of hype you are usually so critical of? I’ve found that writing things down helps clear things up sometimes. There have already been feelings within the physics community that the Higgs boson we are seeing in the LHC might not be quite what we think it is. Eric Ross Weinstein (octubre de 1965) es un matemático, economista y escritor estadounidense, director general de Thiel Capital, la firma de inversiones de Peter Thiel. Fue becario de la Fundación Alfred P. Sloan en el Departamento de Economía de Harvard y también en la Oficina Nacional de Investigación Económica, donde colaboró con el economista Richard Freeman. I stand corrected. Do Particle Physicists Continue to Make Empty Promises. [9]​[13]​ Afirman compartir pocas ideas políticas; unos se identifican con la izquierda mientras otros se identifican con la derecha. If this all sounds familiar, then you would be right it is indeed, for here we have science being done by press release (Hint: cold fusion), and also a lecture. It requires some courage to challenge Einstein, but Weinstein's theory reveals that just as Newton's equations were an approximation to nature so too are Einstein's. Joseph Conlon, de la Universidad de Oxford, comentó que algunas de estas partículas ya deberían haberse visto en aceleradores como el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones, si existieran. As far as I know, the Guardian blog posts were not his idea. But despite the great successes of the Standard Model there remain some very strange questions that have intrigued physicists for some years. There’s an infinite amount of hype about science out there, I try to only spend time denouncing that part of it which seems most problematic, hype about ideas that are hugely influential despite their failures (string theory, SUSY, multiverses). The theory sounds like a large extrapolation on the SM though. Eric has finally gotten to the point where he is willing to talk about these ideas publicly, and he is giving a lecture today in Oxford, something that was arranged by Marcus du Sautoy. Weinstein's ideas run counter to this trend and are more in line with Einstein's belief in the power of mathematical geometry. Eric Weinstein is a Harvard math Ph. And then later of course it was a cable problem. Hartocollis, Anemona (16 de junio de 2017). As he took me through the equations he had been formulating I began to see emerging before my eyes potential answers for many of the major problems in physics. “And then later of course it was a cable problem. You are right that it is small in the specific Einstein-Cartan case …. I look forward to following the story as it works it way through the physics community. Einstein talked about his belief that the universe was made of marble not wood. The particles in the Standard Model have a property called spin. Weinstein begins the paper in which he explains his proposal with a quote from Einstein: "What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world." Beyond that, Eric is the one who needs to get details of this out, not me, since I’m still in the dark…. The physicist Isadore Rabi famously quipped on hearing about the muon: "who ordered that?" Both he and Garrett are pursuing what seems to me one of the deepest questions around: what is the relationship between the SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) geometry of the Standard Model, and the 4d pseudo-Riemannian geometry of space-time and general relativity? But then rather bizarrely in the second generation we have another version of these particles which look exactly the same but are heavier than the first generation. I reckon that we’ll know sooner rather than later whether there is anything to this. If the predictions are incorrect you throw out the theory. Btw, I was suprised by du Sautoy’s sentence Pingback: #FísicaCuántica: El “todólogo” Eric R. Weinstein y quien alto sube, duro cae | Francis (th)E mule Science's News, Pingback: A Tale of Two Oxford Talks | Not Even Wrong. But more recently we have discovered that not only is the universe expanding, that expansion is accelerating, being pushed by some unknown source we have dubbed dark energy. The way the paragraph is phrased sounds to me like du Sautoy does not really know the stuff. Think of all those published papers that never got a mention, never mind an editorial. In the first generation we see the electron, the electron neutrino, six quarks and their anti-particles, making 16 in total. When Marcus du Sautoy gets the Oxford String Theory Group renamed as the Oxford Geometric Unity Group, despite Weinstein’s ideas not working out, then I’ll add them to the list to denounce. It sounds like things haven’t sufficiently converged yet for him to feel comfortable writing a paper–perhaps there are too many loose ends still. It didn't seem to make sense that you should have a heavier version of all the particles in the first generation.
