An Infinite Russian Matryoshka?
The title for this post was inspired by a sentence from an article by Bert Schroer that was discussed at the following interesting blog:
Schroer's Samisdat
The actual article is at:
String theory and the crisis in particle physics (a Samisdat on particle physics).
The sentence I found interesting is:
"... an exist-ing well-working theory will always be asymptotically (not necessarily in terms of distance) included in a future one, so that material reality will reveal itself like putting together a (possibly infinite) Russian matryoshka."
I have to admit that my knowledge of theoretical physics is limited and that I am unable to understand most of the paper. Still, I wanted to mention it, since the infinite matryoshka metaphor reminds me of the "turtles all the way down" line on which the name of this blog is partially based.
