Fermilab | The worst prediction in physics @fermilab | Uploaded 6 months ago | Updated 19 minutes ago
It seems that predicting the energy density of empty space should be a simple thing, yet it turns out that the two best theories of modern physics (the standard model and the general theory of relativity) make staggeringly different predictions. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don admits to this dirty little secret of physics.
