vacua

• “Though seldom giving much evidence of affection for the exploited, he is perfectly capable of displaying hatred – a sort of queer, theoretical, in vacua hatred – against the exploiters.”

  Matthew Yglesias » The Politeness Reflex

• “The subject of false vacua is fascinating in its own right, but also nice because it brings together many different areas of theoretical physics.”

  The Road to Wigan Pier

• “I already have two physics related threads that have started and ended at “Part I” (false vacua and string theory).”

  False Vacua I: The End of the Universe As We Know it « Imaginary Potential

• “Yes, I am aware that I already have two physics related threads that have started and ended at “Part I” (false vacua and string theory).”

• “Not surprisingly, these points, which correspond to vacua, are called “minima”.”

  False Vacua I: The End of the Universe As We Know it « Imaginary Potential

• “There is a “landscape” of many possible lower-dimensional vacua, just like in string theory.”

  Making Extra Dimensions Disappear

• “And one shouldn't not confuse quantum vacua or other fields with absolute nothingness.”

  Behe's response to Many Universes Hypothesis

• “As a digression this is how a set of non-equivalent vacua are one nothing, and where the symmetries on one vacua define particle states on another, which means there is no global symmetry to the universe.”

  What’s the (Dark) Matter?

• “If my inequivalent vacua theory is correct then it means the universe admits no global symmetry, including the Coleman-Mandula theorem on the maximal permissible set of symmetries for the S-matrix.”
