Leonard Susskind: A Brief Biography. Leonard Susskind, born in 1940, is a renowned theoretical physicist and one of the fathers of string theory. He grew up in a working-class neighborhood in the South Bronx, New York City. Despite his humble beginnings, Susskind’s intellectual prowess was evident from an early age.
Jun 21, 2024 · String theorist Leonard Susskind has argued that string theory provides a natural anthropic explanation of the small value of the cosmological constant. According to Susskind, the different vacuum states of string theory might be realized as different universes within a larger multiverse.
Jun 20, 2024 · A few years later, three physicists— Leonard Susskind of Stanford University, Holger Nielsen of the Niels Bohr Institute, and Yoichiro Nambu of the University of Chicago—significantly amplified Veneziano’s insight by showing that the mathematics underlying his proposal described the vibrational motion of minuscule filaments of ...
Jun 19, 2024 · S ⊗ S = 1 ⊕ V. which is just the fact well-known to physicists that if you take the tensor product of two spinor representations, you get a scalar and a vector. The spinors are more fundamental, since you can construct V using S, but not the other way around. I still think spinor geometry is more fundamental than geometry based on vectors.
6 days ago · The primary author of the books is Leonard Susskind. At the start of this year, “General Relativity: The Theoretical Minimum” by Susskind and Cabannes was published as a paperback (i.e., convenient for reading on the London Underground), and over the last two months I have been slowly working my way through it.
Jun 9, 2024 · The latest volume in The New York Times bestselling physics series explains Einstein's masterpiece: the general theory of relativityHe taught us classical mechanics, quantum mechanics and special relativity. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind, assisted by a new collaborator, Andre Cabannes, returns to tackle Einstein's general theory of ...
