In his recent book Something Deeply Hidden, Sean Carroll writes: but pretty soon physicists thought to themselves, “Hmm, gravity actually exists. Maybe string theory is a quantum theory of gravity?” That turns out to be true, and even better there is a bonus: the theory makes finite predictions for all physical quantities, without needing anContinue reading “Is Sean Carroll correct in stating that String Theory makes finite predictions for all physical quantities?”

I believe I may have found a rather major omission in Sean Carroll’s book Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime: It seems that Carroll does not reference the fact that his “Many-Worlds” interpretation is laid to rest by Wigner, Wheeler et. al. on page 294 of Quantum Theory and Measurement (PrincetonContinue reading “An omission in Dr. Sean Caroll’s Book Something Deeply Hidden? Why doesn’t Carroll quote Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner’s dismissal of the Many Worlds Theory? Please correct future editions?”

Dear Dr. Woit, Dr. Smolin, Dr. Greene, Dr. Witten, Dr. Susskind, & Dr. Dawid et al. Does string theory successfully unify quantum mechanics and general relativity?  Yes or no? Peter Woit writes that Richard Dawid argues that: we’re supposed to consider accepting (String Theory) as the final, fundamental theory of physics, a “theory” that is not just untestable,Continue reading “Is it time to correct the statement, “Superstring theory successfully merges general relativity and quantum mechanics,” in Brian Greene’s introduction to Einstein’s Meaning of Relativity?”
