In this week’s talk from the Institute of Art and Ideas, we look to unravel the secrets of the universe.
Over 40 years have passed since string theory was first developed: what questions have been answered? Can we ever find solutions to these profound issues and usher in a new age of science?
Philosopher James Ladyman examines one of our strangest endeavours.

“The promise of string theory is the culmination of this programme of unification.” I say that Milgrom is the Kepler of contemporary cosmology — and the programme of unification needs to take heed of MOND. Are there MOND-chameleon particles that have variable effective mass depending upon nearby gravitational acceleration?
According to Wolfram Alpha:
((Planck length)/(Planck time)^2) / (1.2 * 10^-10 m/sec^2) = 4.634 * 10^61 (Here the denominator is the approximate MOND acceleration constant.)
Can MOND-chameleon particles somehow be used to explain the vacuum catastrophe?
Google “vacuum catastrophe”, “mcgaugh milgrom”, “kroupa milgrom”, and “witten milgrom”.
