Quantum Microstates: Gas Molecules in the Presence of a Gravitational Field

Andy Strominger: This was a field theory that lived on a circle, which means it has one spatial dimension and one time dimension. We derived the fact that the quantum states of the black hole could be represented as the … Continue reading

New Non-geometrical Generalization of the Principles of CFT Found?

There is always a certain expectancy, when it comes having formulated the theoretical work, that further developement along these lines presenst the opportunities for such things to exist. A new non-geometrical generalization of the principles of CFT will be found, … Continue reading

2004 Promises to be an Exceptionally Exciting Year in General Relativity and Gravitation

But you shouldn’t imagine the mood as one of breathless anticipation. At least for the physicists present, a better description would be something like “skeptical curiosity”. None of them seemed to believe that Hawking could suddenly shed new light on … Continue reading

Plato’s Cave and Heisenberg, 21st Century with Witten

Breaking Symmetry Here I sit in Brane world and the idea of “Pants” reaching different dimenisons seems intrigueing to me. Far beyond the views that one see from the light shining, from the open mouth of the cave, some far … Continue reading
