Imagine this puzzle was the information at some low energy ([[Standard Model]]), and the number of letters left to find matched the orders of magnitude from where we are to (UV) completion. [[Effective Field Theory (EFT)|Effective Field Theory]] says “Be modest and learn to live with lack of unique UV completion and a rambling effective [[Standard Model]] so many orders of energy away from the Planck Scale because it can’t be guessed from so far away.” |media1=ERW-X-post-1986803710551290047-G5KLccDboAAWxiM.jpg |quote= {{Tweet |image=arivero-profile-VWOtSvhz.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/arivero/status/1986796150733640121 |name=Alejandro Rivero |usernameurl=https://x.com/arivero |username=arivero |content=@EricRWeinstein it could be interesting if you clarify your position on the [[Effective Field Theory (EFT)|EFT]] doctrine. To me it is basically a "planck-scale first" doctrine, that tells that any experimental result is not important, and than renormalizability of theories is just an amusement. |timestamp=2:01 PM · Nov 7, 2025 }} |timestamp=2:31 PM · Nov 7, 2025 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1986803714179633663 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=[[Theory of Geometric Unity|GU]] says: “That is eminently reasonable & sober, and is thus good solid science.
