Do we need to test string theory? How are we supposed to judge a theory that isn’t done yet? It’s a non-stop String Theory bonanza as I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
Part 5 of a non-stop String Theory bonanza as @PaulMattSutter discuss about Duality of the Fates in string theory. More on today’s Ask a Spaceman at #365DaysOfAstro
Another non-stop String Theory bonanza with @PaulMAttSutter at #365DaysOfAstro. Today’s discussion: What We Need is a Superhero
This week @PaulMattSutter will take you to another series of String theory. This time: Dimension is Destiny more at #365DaysOfAstro
How did String Theory get started? What has made the idea so popular over the decades? Can we ever truly have a theory of quantum gravity? What is supersymmetry, the landscape, and the AdS/CFT Correspondence? What do holograms have to do with this? How many dimensions do we live in? Why does String Theory have such a hard time making predictions? How are we supposed to judge a theory that isn’t done yet?

How did chemists save astronomy? What’s so important about the spectrum, and how are they made? How can we tell what things in space are made out of?
Why is infrared astronomy so hard? How do we fit giant telescopes into tiny rockets? What will the James Webb uncover?
Where does the quantum world begin? Why do we have a hard time fundamentally understanding quantum systems? What connects quantum and classical physics?
What’s it like to fall into a black hole (again)? What does the outside universe look like?
