Note: This is a series by Quanta Magazine titled "In Theory." Though intriguing, I almost hesitated because of the title. However, the theoretical discipline has been misunderstood and caricatured by self-described "Google professors"; pseudoscience and conspiracy provocateurs. I prefer that term (provocateurs) to "theorist" for that reason. All theories are eventually proven or disproved by experimental scientists, not opinions, cognitive dissonance, revelation, visions, hunches, hoopla or mumbo-jumbo.
About Quanta Magazine:
Quanta Magazine is an editorially independent online publication launched by the Simons Foundation to enhance public understanding of science. Why Quanta? Albert Einstein called photons “quanta of light.” Our goal is to “illuminate science.”
Our reporters focus on developments in mathematics, theoretical physics, theoretical computer science and the basic life sciences. The best traditional news organizations provide excellent reporting on developments in health, medicine, technology and engineering. We strive to complement and augment existing media coverage, not compete with it.
