In 2023, I was rejected by all 22/22 US universities. Again, in 2024, I was rejected by all 22/22 US universities (I applied to mostly the same universities with few changes. I mentioned only hep-th profs both times). A few months ago, I applied to a few places outside US, and I finally got a very good PhD admission at the Weizmann Institute in the hep-th group advised by Prof. Aharony and Prof. Berkooz. This blog post might be helpful for future hep-th PhD applicants.

I will argue that the miracles claimed as evidence by many religions are too insignificant and unimpressive compared to the grandiose size and scale of the universe.

In this post, I will review some textbooks on relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM). Most quantum field theory (QFT) books will briefly discuss some RQM in the beginning and why it is not a correct theory and will move on to QFT. Here I will only review those which discuss RQM somewhat completely. RQM is a one-particle theory. The reason it is hard to find books on RQM is because it is not a well defined theory like QFT.

In this post, I will argue that no parent has the right to brainwash/indoctrinate their children into a religion, and it is the duty of the state to do everything to make sure that no child is brainwashed. If they become adult, then they can read all religions and believe in whatever nonsense they want, as everyone has the right to freedom of religion. But children must be protected as they are easy to brainwash.

Whenever a name has different meanings within the same field it unnecessarily introduces confusion. But after some time people generally continue with the improper names since a large amount of literature already present has used it.
