The Graviton and Superstring Theory
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 15 Ιαν 2015
The
graviton is a particle whose existence physicists have predicted but
not proven. If real, it would tell spacetime how to bend. Quantum
mechanics as applied to gravity (a field called superstring theory) does
not make sense without it. Shamit Kachru explains why the graviton is
so necessary. Lawrence Krauss reminds us that superstring theory could
be entirely wrong, and Brian Greene counters with the suggestion that it
is useful to physicists regardless of whether or not it is right.

The
World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to
produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to
engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a
general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of
its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.
