The\u0000historical part argues that the search for a theory of quantum gravity\u0000stimulated the change in outlook that characterizes the modern approach to the\u0000Standard Model of particle physics and General Relativity. We present some\u0000landmarks covering a long period, i.e., from the beginning of the 1930s until\u00001994, when, according to Steven Weinberg, the modern bottom-up approach to\u0000General Relativity began. Starting from the first attempt to apply the quantum\u0000field theory techniques to perturbatively quantize Einstein's theory, we\u0000explore its developments and interaction with the top-down approach encoded by\u0000String Theory. In the last part of the paper, we focus on this last approach to\u0000describe the relationship between our modern understanding of String Theory and\u0000Effective Field Theory in today's panorama. To this end, the non-historical\u0000part briefly explains the modern concepts of moduli stabilization and Swampland\u0000to understand another change in focus that explains the present framework where\u0000some string theorists move.","PeriodicalId":501042,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - History and Philosophy of Physics","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140203292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This original theory of the\u0000heavens was written in dialogue with the conceptions of celestial matter of his\u0000time. On the one hand, Kant recognized Descartes' cosmological enterprise as a\u0000decisive mechanistic requirement for the intelligence of physics, but his\u0000vortices of matter fell into disrepute: Newton invalidated them mathematically.\u0000On the other hand, attraction at a distance provides an incomparable\u0000explanation of phenomena, but has left a gaping hole in our understanding of\u0000the law's material anchorage in bodies, and ultimately sends the question of\u0000how the system works back to God. He then set out to overcome the dichotomy\u0000established by these two authors, drawing on the Cartesian adage ''give me\u0000matter and I'll make a world'', but applying Newton's laws to cosmogenesis. In\u0000concrete terms, interplanetary space currently contains no matter capable of\u0000explaining the motion of the stars, we need to look further back into the\u0000system's past, to find an earlier state of material dispersion whose effects\u0000are still being felt. He must assume the existence of a cloud of dust, made up\u0000of the simplest elements and moved by the forces of attraction and repulsion\u0000alone. From this, Kant can form the hypothesis of the primitive nebula breaking\u0000down first into a phase of stellogenesis, and then into the creation of an\u0000accretion disk gradually forming the planets and their satellites.","PeriodicalId":501042,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - History and Philosophy of Physics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140172994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From S-matrix theory to strings: Scattering data and the commitment to non-arbitrariness 从 S 矩阵理论到弦：散射数据与非任意性承诺

{"title":"From S-matrix theory to strings: Scattering data and the commitment to non-arbitrariness","authors":"Robert van Leeuwen","doi":"arxiv-2403.06690","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2403.06690","url":null,"abstract":"The early history of string theory is marked by a shift from strong\u0000interaction physics to quantum gravity. The first string models and associated\u0000theoretical framework were formulated in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the\u0000context of the S-matrix program for the strong interactions. In the mid-1970s,\u0000the models were reinterpreted as a potential theory unifying the four\u0000fundamental forces. This paper provides a historical analysis of how string\u0000theory was developed out of S-matrix physics, aiming to clarify how modern\u0000string theory, as a theory detached from experimental data, grew out of an\u0000S-matrix program that was strongly dependent upon observable quantities.\u0000Surprisingly, the theoretical practice of physicists already turned away from\u0000experiment before string theory was recast as a potential unified quantum\u0000gravity theory. With the formulation of dual resonance models (the \"hadronic\u0000string theory\"), physicists were able to determine almost all of the models'\u0000parameters on the basis of theoretical reasoning. It was this commitment to\u0000\"non-arbitrariness\", i.e., a lack of free parameters in the theory, that\u0000initially drove string theorists away from experimental input, and not the\u0000practical inaccessibility of experimental data in the context of quantum\u0000gravity physics. This is an important observation when assessing the role of\u0000experimental data in string theory.","PeriodicalId":501042,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - History and Philosophy of Physics","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140105355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
