>>11879970good post. very Wisonian.
but i don’t think there is an equivalence between “reductionist “ theories like the Standard Model and “effective” theories like what exists in condensed matter, e.g. BCS theory. to me there is a clear hierarchy between the two types of theories, and to me one (the SM, the “fundamental theory”) wins in terms of being the actual truth.
i acknowledge that some physicists/people think that other theories are “equal” in some sense but to me it is clear that particle physics is the foundation
