Is There a More Beautiful Equation?
Despite its overwhelming virtues, the cores theory is imperfect. Its equations are lopsided and contain loosely connected pieces. The core theory does not account for so called dark matter and dark energy. I have theories for what the dark matter is that i think are certainly driven by beauty. And we'll see if they're true. But in recent experience, and i have theories about states of ter that i'm very confident or correct that they are driven by beauty, but haven't yet been a verified experimentally. It's what drives a lot most, a lot of my work in physics is trying to get more beautiful equations and a more coherent description of how things work.
