How many theoretical physicists are there




















Then, in , a group of theorists, many under the age of thirty, met in Copenhagen and had three goals; scientific research on the fundamental problems in nuclear physics, training young theoretical physicists and developing active co-operation between laboratories — the original CERN theory department.

To this day, at CERN the theory department is working on numerous theories, from supersymmetry to string theory. Experimentalists have to have huge collaborations just to share out these boring repetitive tasks, but they also share the fun.

Like notable theorist Richard Feynman, who famously discussed his aptitude for electronics and tinkering with radios as a child, one thing many of the CERN theoreticians had in common was their complete lack of practical ability.

Giudice had the same problem, grinning, he explains that without his laboratory partners he never would have passed the practical lessons at university. I was always a disaster in the lab, I had no clue what to do. While Mangano was useless with electronics, he disagrees this implies a lack of practicality, as he discusses his amateur carpentry, masonry and woodwork.

Wolfgang Lerche, in contrast, greatly enjoyed playing with electronics as a teenager, boasting that he could beat many of his experimental colleagues in terms of practical ability. Instead he learnt about it in when, as a summer student at CERN, he found a whole new world of physics open up, and was lured into the realm of theoretical physics. To learn more about the theory department, read the other articles and photoessays in our In Theory series.

And this is precisely the major wrong part as I will discuss in this article. For which we see that; practically all the laws of physical were developed on the top of a piece of scratch paper that represents a virtual empty subspace. And I have recently found it is not a real physical subspace that supposes to be used within our universe.

In fact, practically all the laws of science were obtained from this virtual subspace. In the following, I will show consequences that have been from the use of a piece of scratch paper.

Let me start with our universe, which is a time—space interdependent space as described by the following symbolic representation [ 5 , 9 ]:. In view of Eq. For example, let us take the timeless Einstein energy equation as our example.

If the equation is appropriately converted into a partial differential form as given by [ 5 , 9 ]. From Eq. Notice that an equation is not just a symbolic representation, it is also a description, in which we can visualize that the converted energy diverges at speed of light into a dimensional space as time moves forward. Note that any particle regardless of their size, very large or very small, can be represented by Eq. Nevertheless Eq. From this extended representation, we see that the boundary of our universe is expanding at a speed of light within an even larger space well beyond our current observation, as depicted in Figure 4.

A composite temporal space universe diagrams. The non-emptiness universal space is an interesting aspect of a greater universe, as I will discuss briefly when we meet at the Big Bang creation. This is the well-known causality condition, a well-accepted principle in science. Moreover, Eq. However if we add a negative linear phase distribution [i. But there is always a price to pay i. This example also shows an important aspect within our temporal universe; we cannot get something from nothing; there is always a price to pay, an amount of energy with a section of time i.

The essence of this illustration is that it tells us, in principle, is possible to transform an arbitrary solution to become a time domain solution. Any analytic solution as obtained from those fancy mathematics e. For example, without the causality i. Science is based at different levels of physical abstraction, in which the foundation of theoretical physics is supported by mathematics with physical realizable paradigms.

As earlier as the discovery of gravitational field, to Newtonian mechanics, to statistical mechanics, to electromagnetic field, to relativistic theory, to particle physics, and to quantum mechanics, each level of physical discovery was based on an assumed physical realizable paradigm, in which their analytical solutions were assumed physically real, with a high degree of certainty.

But as science progresses, the demand for more-defined physical paradigms is needed. Although irrational and fictitious solutions emerged, which have been pointed to us that something is wrong with our solutions, ambition and fantasy have driven us to quick success, for overlooking what is wrong with the theoretical analysis, since theoretical physics was and still is the core of modern physics.

But the problem of theoretical physicists is that they have used sophisticated mathematics to substitute the physical reality, inadvertently or intentionally not finding out what is wrong with their irrational solutions, which have been known as spooky solutions. In the following I will show a few typical examples without quotation, since there are a bunch of evidences which are difficult to single out for references, for which the readers can find those materials either published in various scientific journals or in the YouTube links as well as in various social media posted by well-known theoretical physicists from prestigious universities and national research institutes that include some Nobel laureates in physics.

Strictly speaking any nonphysical realizable paradigm as Figure 6 a should not be used; otherwise unsupported virtual solution may emerge such as cyclic universe creation, single universe theory, and others. Even though we assumed Big Bang explosion occurs within an empty space, as cosmologists often do, the velocity of electromagnetic radiation will be infinitely large, by virtue of electromagnetic wave velocity as given by.

As from the particle physics perspective, every substance within our universe is built by particles, of which our universe is compacted with particles, for which we see that our universe is granular instead of smooth and continuous.

And this is precisely why there are existent temporal substances throughout the entire universe, beyond particle forms.

Otherwise gravitation fields, electric fields, magnetic fields, as well electromagnetic waves cannot exist within our universe. As we accepted particle and time coexist, we see that every particle within our universe has the same instance of time with the same time speed but has a relativistic time between particles, in which time is a dependent variable with respect to particle and it is as smooth and continuous.

Symmetric principle has been used in theoretical physics for searching new particles and others, since the dawn of modern physics. Mathematically speaking those imaged properties of particles exist, but they are from an abstract mathematical standpoint. Symmetric principle is based on a virtual empty space where time is treated as an independent variable as a Newtonian subspace. And this is precisely why the symmetric principle of science behaves as a mirror perception, such as positive versus negative or as groups in group theory, for example, positive time versus negative time, positive energy versus negative energy, matter versus anti-matter, and others.

It is physical real versus mathematical virtual. Since time and space coexist, matter i. Since we are still having a vague idea of interaction between gravity with time and knowing that gravitational field is produced by masses, gravitational field has to be embedded in a non-empty space which coexists with time. Since speed of time is settled by the velocity of light as our universe was created by a Big Bang explosion a well-accepted paradigm from the theory of relativity [ 5 , 9 ], we have shown time is a dependent variable, instead of an independent variable, as within a Newtonian subspace, where time traveling is possible.

Aside from the virtual empty space paradigm, there are some serious mistakes that have been made on entropy theory of information by some theoretical physicists. Without this connection, information would be very difficult to be applied in physics, since entropy is a well-accepted quantity in science. However, the relationship of Eq.

There are also many objects available having the same bits of information, but not books. As for quantum entanglement communication, it seems to me they have missed the essence of information transmission. For example, information content provided by the source i. In the middle of the century, two new forces were discovered deep within the atom the strong and weak nuclear forces. Finally, in the century's last decades, we got the Standard Model of particle physics — an accounting of all the particles and forces known to exist in our universe.

But the new century brought a rough patch. Yes, there have been some remarkable findings, including the discovery of the Higgs Boson and the discovery of gravitational waves four years later. But those triumphs were based on theories developed decades earlier — a full century earlier in the case of gravitational waves. And new ideas like string theory which holds that matter is made up of tiny vibrating loops of energy remain unverified.

This doesn't mean physicists aren't busy; the journals are publishing more research than ever. But Turok says all that research isn't doing much to advance our understanding of the universe — at least not the way physicists did in the last century. Physicists today "write a lot of papers, build a lot of [theoretical] models, hold a lot of conferences, cite each other — you have all the trappings of science," he says.

And that's been lacking. The most celebrated ongoing experiments have failed to produce some long-anticipated discoveries.
