Lee Smolin’s new book (2006) The Trouble with Physics: The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next is a critique of pure scientific reason. In it, he proposed 5 smiling enigmas as problems to be solved in order to save physics the greatest embarrassment from centuries of greatest human endeavors in both science and religion.
Since Smolin is a theoretical physicist, his proposals are all related to theoretical physics. (1) Is to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics into a single complete theory of quantum gravity. (2) Is to resolve all foundational problems of quantum mechanics between observee and observer. (3) Is to describe both fermions and bosons by a single supersymmetry. (4) Is to discover ultimate plausible explanations how the values of the free constants in the standard model of elementary particles are chosen in nature. (5) Is to explain clearly both dark matter and dark energy. If they don’t exist then how can the standard model of cosmology be modified in order to incorporate its empirical findings and determined constants into the field equations.
Upcoming posts will address each and every one of these 5 problems single-handedly. Nevertheless, some of these resolutions are best described in the mathematical forms of Hadamard matrices with a principle of directional invariance for local infinitesimal motion.
