Every quantum physicist knows that all particles are either bosons or fermions. And the standard textbook argues that this so does not depend on the number…
Struggles with the Continuum: Spacetime Conclusion
We've been looking at how the continuum nature of spacetime poses problems for our favorite theories of physics --- problems with infinities.…
Struggles with the Continuum: General Relativity
Combining electromagnetism with relativity and quantum mechanics led to QED. Last time we saw the immense struggles with the continuum this…
LHC Part 4: Searching for New Particles and Decays
The LHC experiments are in full swing collecting data this year (more information in the forum), and a while ago the collaboration of the…
Struggles with the Continuum – Relativity and Quantum
In this series, we're looking at mathematical problems that arise in physics due to treating spacetime as a continuum---basically, problems…
