Hi, I'm Alan McKenzie, new member, living in the UK. I've been asked to introduce myself, so here goes... My background is theoretical physics, but I spent my working life applying physics to the treatment of cancer (for which I got a DSc from St Andrews University in 2003 and an O.B.E. from...

I am wondering if the cuboctahedral vacuum equilibrium (240 dimensions) can be viewed as embeddeding the E8 Lie Group (8 dimensions) (as conjecture by Cole Furey) with 3 temporal dimensions (as recently discovered by Physicists there does exist an imaginary component of spacetime or space time geometry is embedded as a volume with a certain geometry in that one experiment). So 240/(8*3)=10 percei…

So, I'm learning about Twistors, and in every book I've read they say the same: "If a flat theory is Poincaré-invariant and it is invariant under conformal rescaling (Weyl scaling), it is then conformally invariant (in the sence of conformal transformations)" First let me say that I can't find a proof about this, but for me this looks like another way of stating the Liouville Theorem (or maybe ma…

Theoretical physicists are caricatured in the popular imagination as only involved in abstruse and difficult-to-imagine topics. But some of these theoretical physicists are involved in something closer…

Since Galileo, physics has conventionally described the physical world using four-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z, t), which implies an ontological presupposition that time continuously permeates every point of space. This paper devises a thought experiment to detect temporal effects of absolute vacuum, demonstrates that this presupposition is unverifiable in principle at the operational level. …

I am a bedroom theoretical physicist with no real academic qualifications to my name, I have been obsessed with figuring out a way to solve all the problems we face in physics by correcting our flawed model of the universe, I now can proudly announce I finally believe I have achieved this by...

Gauge theories are often characterized as possessing ‘redundancy’ or ‘excess structure’. This, in turn, motivates reducing the gauge symmetries, commonly through ‘symplectic reduction’ in the Hamiltonian framework. However, there are multiple ways to formulate a Hamiltonian gauge theory. This paper examines the relationship between the formulation of a Hamiltonian gauge theory and the attribution…

Frank Wilczek has one of the most brilliant and original minds in theoretical physics, having come up with the idea of time crystals among much else. Where is his curiosity taking him now?

Hi, I apologize if this question has been asked before. Where I'm from, the physics university is terrible (underfunded, professors who don't like lecturing, lack of students, etc). I want to one day do research in the areas of: theoretical physics, mathematical models used in theoretical... Read more

Hello everyone, I am a 9th-grade student from Ukraine with a deep passion for theoretical physics and science fiction (especially Star Wars). Since we currently lack the technology to experimentally test higher-dimensional travel, I have spent some time developing a logical, mathematical... Read more
