The cosmological constant problem is a significant barrier and hints at merging quantum field theory and general relativity. It remains unsolved. There is little reason to accept an absolute zero point energy scale in quantum field theory. Semiclassical treatment of...
The 1970s introduced string theory, grand unification, supersymmetry, and the naturalness argument. Problems of naturalness arise in influential field theories. All matter fields need to be coupled to the gravitational field. Naturalism does not accomplish that....
The 2016 upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider has produced none of the new elementary particles that theorists had been expecting for decades. It has, however, discovered 59 new hadrons, including the tetraquarks, along with new mesons and baryons. The unnaturally...
The universe contains twelve matter fields and four force fields. The Higgs field is an invisible energy field that is also present throughout the universe. It imbues other particles with mass. The interaction of the elementary particles with the Higgs field causes...
A significant fundamental change in physics and cosmology is at hand. A cause produces every change in the universe. 1st: The fundamental level of physics contains the operational build-out schematic for producing a universe with specific life forms. Information is...
