How to Tame the Endless Infinities Hiding in the Heart of Particle Physics

11 Apr 2023

Quanta Magazine article covering the work of our member Marcos Mariño (UNIGE).

 

"In the math of particle physics, every calculation should result in infinity. Physicists get around this by just ignoring certain parts of the equations — an approach that provides approximate answers. But by using the techniques known as “resurgence,” researchers hope to end the infinities and end up with perfectly precise predictions."
