This is a fascinating result. Perhaps Maldacena is worthy of a Nobel Prize. Not yet. Physics is an experimental science. An interesting idea that first has to be put into a form that is falsifiable and then tested. This may have occurred in 2008 . AdS/CFT was used to calculate the viscosity of a qu...

Does anyone have an opinion?

Sorry, no. Have not kept up to date in QM measurement theory.

It's an interesting subject.

What's your field? Condensed matter?

That's what I did. It was fun. It would have been torture if I didn't know that Albert and Bernard were telling the truth That is the rub It does not say that all statements are true. We don't know what either Albert and Bernard were told. I think it is probably whoever wrote the article but standa...

That's what I did. It was fun. It would have been torture if I didn't know that Albert and Bernard were telling the truth and if I didn't know that there was a way to deterministically determine the correct answer, rather than just a lucky guess. Interesting question: if we didn't have Albert's last...

I agree. Chelsea doesn't seem interested in running for President, ever. I guess the attacks the right wingers made on her when she was a girl turned her off to it.

I can see Rand Paul being the GOP nominee. He should do well in Iowa and great in New Hampshire. If he wins both, he might even be competitive in South Carolina. If he wins all three, he'd be hard to stop.

We could assist with Special Forces, Airstrikes and perhaps Marines near the coast. They could be based out of...
