jan”I think that the debacle with string theory is, in many ways, the result of this sort of attempt to subjugate everything to what you already know. And then discard all other ideas and say that they are not serious, their ideas are propagated by amateurs, and stuff like that. Instead of looking in the mirror and kind of understanding what am I doing here and on what ground am I to claim that the theory I'm working on is “the only game in town”, which was an expression used by many string theorists for a long time.”<br>—Edward Frenkel<br><a href="https://youtu.be/RX1tZv_Nv4Y?t=2287" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/RX1tZv_Nv4Y?t=2287</a><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/stringtheory" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stringtheory</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.microblog.se/tag/physics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#physics</a>

Applicants are required to have a Master degree by the start of the PhD program.</p><p>ℹ️ <a href="https://www.aei.mpg.de/1201947/phd-mascamp-2025" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aei.mpg.de/1201947/phd-mascamp</span><span class="invisible">-2025</span></a><br>📅 Deadline for full consideration: 15 January 2025</p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/PhDPosition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PhDPosition</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/PhDLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PhDLife</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Job" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Job</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicChatter</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/StringTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StringTheory</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/ERC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ERC</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/SynergyGrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SynergyGrant</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Potsdam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Potsdam</span></a></p>
