Eric Weinstein & Dan Green: Can New Physics Be Tested? (#299)
Into the Impossible With Brian Keating
The Dark Side of the Genius of Ken Wilson
The Higgs field shows up in effective theory as a spin zero fundamental scalar, but I don't think that that's its purpose. In the 60s Weinberg guessed at asymptotic freedom, which was that the theories really made up of quarks and things that looked like microscopic particles is bouncing around even though they live inside a proton. The idea is just that you could have as wild variation of the difference of the origin of two theories as you like. If I limit my observations to some energy scale, that's by colliders or whatever I can do, then the only way that I can tell them apart is by the parameters of one-distance theory.
