We are often trained to apply equations and compute correct answers without truly understanding the physical phenomena behind them. Real insight, the kind that leads to deeper intuition and meaningful thought experiments, only comes when we focus on what’s actually happening, not just on solving for the result.
Physics does not care about the WHY anymore Read More »
Most research within the field of theoretical gravitation looks more like mathematical physics than physics, with proposals about wormholes in extra dimensions under theories of modification of gravity that do not try to resolve the inconsistencies of General Relativity or even address observations not accounted by our theories. We explore why this happens and suggest a better direction for research in gravitation.
Most research in Theoretical Gravitation makes No Sense… Read More »
The last progress made in fundamental and theoretical physics, understanding progress as successfully verified and confirmed theories or models, can be traced back to Peter Higg’s prediction in the 60s and the development of the foundations of quantum chromodynamics in the 70s. The year 1973 is claimed to be the date when progress in theoretical physics stalled (the year in which the Standard Model was standardized by adding asymptotic freedom). But why is there no progress in theoretical physics anymore?
