Thomas Hartman, assistant professor of physics, studies high-energy theoretical physics. His goal, he explains in this article in Cornell Research, is to bring to light the fundamental properties of nature, which derive from the subatomic world of quantum physics.
“Comprehending the fundamental theory of spacetime is linked to the problem of understanding the constituents of matter and how they interact, especially gravity and how it fits in with everything else,” he explains in the piece.
