Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas
ADS CFT and Quantum Gravity in the Real World
In the 60s and 70s, when people were doing string theory, they were scattering strings. In the 80s, this idea of compactifying and looking at different ways of getting string theory connected to four dimensional physics became popular. And in the ADS CFT correspondence, you have a duality that relates quantum gravity string theory in particular in 10 dimensional space time,. Compactified in a certain way to quantum field theory in four dimensional space time.
