Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

NOTE

Intricate Connection of Short and Large Distances in Quantum Gravity

String theory reveals the misconception in particle physics that short and long distances can be decoupled in the presence of gravity. The interconnectedness between short and large distances in quantum gravity highlights the failures in explaining puzzles like the hierarchy problem in particle physics, where gravity was often disregarded due to its perceived weakness at lower energies. By neglecting gravity, particle physics encountered difficulties in addressing fine-tuning and hierarchies, underestimating the crucial influence of gravity on these phenomena.
