"... linking combinatorics, geometry, and scattering amplitudes ..." Can the Koide formula, Lestone's theory of virtual cross sections, and the amplituhedron enable string theory to predict all of the free parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics? Is the following a meaningless coincidence? As of June 19, 2021, the Wikipedia article “W and Z bosons” gives the W-boson mass (for both W+ & W-) as 80.379 ± .012 GeV/c^2 and the Z-boson mass as 91.1876 ± .0021 GeV/c^2 . According to Wolfram Alpha, ( 1 * 80.379 + 91.1876) / (1 * squareroot (80.379) + squareroot (91.1876))^2 = .5004971… ( 2 * 80.379 + 91.1876) / (2 * squareroot (80.379) + squareroot (91.1876))^2 = .333634… Is there some reason that for n = 1, 2, ..., 10 ( n * 80.379 + 91.1876) / (n * squareroot (80.379) + squareroot (91.1876))^2 is approximately = 1/n+1) ?
Yes it’s actually him, he does quantum physics at MIT, that was the joke at making him being a dumb punk in police academy. Thank you professor Zedd for teaching me quantum field theory, best professor ever!
Pardon my amateur, but amplitude is like the output of a function? and is the geometrical object based on some kind of set of functions that have the same amplitude?
