...fundamental theory that unifies gravity with everything else would not take place at ultra short distances but right above our heads,” he said. He added that there may be gigantic extra dimensions of space if this is in fact true. Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics Howard M. Georgi ’68 wrote in an e-mail that Arkani-Hamed’s work on split supersymmetry could be just as important as his research on large extra dimensions, but only time will tell. It is possible that the LHC will show evidence that Arkani-Hamed is correct...
...hate science (see Biological Anthropology). Read on only if neither of those applies to you. Chemistry and Physics advising is very typical of Harvard: each student is assigned half a dozen advisors in the hope that one of them will actually be helpful. Officially, David Morin and Howard Georgi, both physicists, advise all concentrators. Each student is also assigned an individual advisor from the Physics department. Notice a theme here? The concentration has been more or less commandeered by the Physics department. (Further evidence: the only classes that absolutely cannot be taken Pass/Fail are the introductory physics classes. However...
...interactions between fundamental subatomic particles.“Wilson is famous for understanding how, in transitions from one phase of matter to another, there are quantities that are completely independent of the details of the states of matter,” says Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics Howard Georgi ’67. He explains that Wilson’s work was valuable not only in the field of phase changes, for which Wilson won the Nobel Prize, but had much broader applications for all of modern physics. It is a crucial component of our understanding of quantum chromodynamics...
Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics Howard M. Georgi ’68, who attended Monday’s event, wrote in an e-mail that the question of how education and research are balanced at a research university is “a huge issue that we have certainly not solved...
