粒子物理与弦论界面上的生命
Life at the Interface of Particle Physics and String Theory
摘要：
如果第一次大型强子对撞机运行的结果没有背叛我们，那么几十年的粒子物理学将最终为所有非引力物理学提供一个完整而一致的理论：标准模型。但是，尽管取得了这一巨大成就，人们仍然感到明显的失望：许多问题仍然没有答案。值得注意的是，大多数悬而未决的问题可能只是环境问题，令人不安的是（对一些人来说）生命的存在可能取决于环境。与此同时，越来越多的证据表明，回答这些问题的看似理想的候选者，弦论，给出了一个最初很少有人预料到的答案：一个巨大的可能性“景观”，可以在多元宇宙中实现，并由永恒的通货膨胀填充。在“自下而上”和“自上而下”物理学的交界处，对人择论证的讨论变得不可避免。我们回顾了这一领域的发展，特别侧重于过去十年。
英文摘要：
If the results of the first LHC run are not betraying us, many decades of particle physics are culminating in a complete and consistent theory for all non-gravitational physics: the Standard Model. But despite this monumental achievement there is a clear sense of disappointment: many questions remain unanswered. Remarkably, most unanswered questions could just be environmental, and disturbingly (to some) the existence of life may depend on that environment. Meanwhile there has been increasing evidence that the seemingly ideal candidate for answering these questions, String Theory, gives an answer few people initially expected: a huge "landscape" of possibilities, that can be realized in a multiverse and populated by eternal inflation. At the interface of "bottom-up" and "top-down" physics, a discussion of anthropic arguments becomes unavoidable. We review developments in this area, focusing especially on the last decade.
