Researchers are increasingly zeroing in on what they see as a weakness in the conventional reasoning about naturalness. A growing number of particle physicists think naturalness problems, and the lack of results at the large hadron coliter, might be tied to reductionisms breakdown. Nima arconi hamed is a theorist at the institute for advanced study in princeton, new jersey. He says, the reductionist paradime is hard wired into the naturalness problem.
