Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal
Exploring Lepton Violation and No-Go Theorems in Physics
The chapter delves into the violation of lepton charge by the Cherns-Simons term and the generation of leptons in the presence of this gravitational anomaly. It discusses Weinberg's no-go theorem in cosmology and how theories with non-trivial kinetic terms offer potential solutions to the cosmological constant problem. The conversation further explores hidden assumptions in physics theories, the emergence of gravity from non-gravitational theories, and the association of gravity with the concept of the graviton.
