As a fan of theoretical physics, I really enjoyed your article. I’m most interested in the ongoing quest to find the so-called Theory of Everything in which our current understanding of physics is have a unifying equation to connect quantum mechanics to Einstein’s landmark theory of general relatively. Our current physics break down at the quantum level, as you know. The reason why is a huge mystery which Einstein tried to solve until his death. Why do thecfundamental principles of physics apply to the biggest objects, like planets, but not to the smallest nano particles (and even smaller) at the quantum level? There’s a disconnect here which the smartest minds on science have yet to figure out.
I’m very excited about the prospect of quantum computing and how this exponential computer power will change our world, especially when combined with AI. The problem here appears to be how quantum computers are able to be scaled to the masses in the future due to the sub-freezing temperatures needed to make them work. Mind boggling conundrums to contemplate…
