‘Alien Calculus’ Could Save Particle Physics From Infinities

Posted by in categories: information science, mathematics, particle physics

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.
