Constants and scientific progress.
Scientists like constants (a personal favorite is Avogadro's number). It is no wonder, because not only does defining a constant represent a major scientific breakthrough, but as human beings we like things we can rely on, things that stay the same and that bring us consistency, stability, and a way to understand ourselves and the world around us. On the other hand, scientists create and welcom...
متن کاملProgress in Weakly Coupled String Phenomenology * † Disclaimer
The weakly coupled vacuum of E8⊗E8 heterotic string theory remains an attractive scenario for particle physics. The particle spectrum and the issue of dilaton stabilization are reviewed. A specific model for hidden sector condensation and supersymmetry breaking, that respects known constraints from string theory, is described, and its phenomenological and cosmological implications are discussed...
متن کاملProgress in Kaon Phenomenology from Lattice QCD
Kaon physics is an area in which lattice QCD can have an important impact in Phenomenology. I review the recent progress and current status of three particular topics: kaon beta-decay, the kaon B-parameter and the non-leptonic decay of the kaon into two pions.
متن کاملScientific Progress, Verisimilitude, and Evidence
The verisimilitudinarian approach to scientific progress (VS) is the view that progress can be accounted for in terms of the increasing verisimilitude or, equivalently, truthlikeness, or approximation to the truth, of our theories. In this paper, I defend VS against the criticism, levelled by Bird (2007), that it exhibits an unacceptable lack of interest in the issue of the grounding of scienti...
متن کاملScientific progress in measurement theory?
This article is a response to the March, 2013, special issue of the AMS Review, which was purportedly about "scientific progress in marketing" but in fact was about measurement in marketing. Even narrower than that, the special issue was about "formative measurement" in marketing. The present article contends that the problems raised by the special issue's authors were solved earlier by Rossite...
