Exploring the Wave Function of the Universe and Conformal Symmetry
The chapter delves into the wave function of the universe, including perspectives from physicists like John Wheeler, Bryce DeWitt, and Stephen Hawking. It discusses challenges related to defining boundary conditions, the no boundary proposal, and the incorporation of conformal symmetry in understanding the Big Bang. The conversation also touches upon the Higgs field's role in breaking conformal symmetry and exploring new theories involving dimension zero fields to address particle physics problems.
