Quantum field theory: a tourist guide for mathematicians Gerald B. Folland
Publisher: American Mathematical Society




Of the things I've looked at, Folland's “QFT: A tourist guide for mathematicians” is the best I've seen along these lines. The mathematical part we can call “the model” and “the theory” is the mechanism of identification with the real world, essentially how you compute observables and connect them to data. Of physics, I would bet on either: (1) M-theory with the infinite nature hypothesis and the string landscape or (2) modified M-theory with Wolfram's mobile automaton using the monster group and the 6 pariah groups to derive approximations to the Lie groups of quantum field theory. It remains to be seen what role something of value to science. We'll see how that turns out and at what point I run out of energy .. The initial plan is to start with the fermionic oscillator, move on to path integrals, then relativity, the Dirac equation, and U(1) gauge theory (E and M), ending up with some very basic quantum field theory (non-interacting fields). With thorough coverage of the mathematics of quantum field theory and featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam to test your knowledge, this book will teach you the fundamentals of this theoretical framework in no time at all.

They claim to have a theory of everything with quantum field theory have gravity, but they have no quantum gravitational fields. They say that the theory has a This is actually encouraging, as it suggests the problem is sufficiently constrained to guide the resolution of this profoundly challenging set of problems. From QFT to GRT we use some Lagrangian formalism, which is time/CPT symmetric and very clear about causality: we just live in 4D equilibrium optimizing the action, for example attached in Big Bang in the past and Big Crunch in the future, like 4D jello . My point, which I am not going to repeat again after this post, is that the reversibility is IN THE MATHEMATICAL FORMALISM, and you appear to assume that this means that nature also obeys reversible laws.
