Abstract

Having considered an extension of dynamical scaling for the special case z = 2, we now inquire whether a similar extension might be possible, and of physical relevance, for an arbitrary value of z.

“We are not satisfied with the hollow victory of falsification. Having a beautiful idea that nearly succeeds, we look to improve it, by finding a still more beautiful version that works in detail. We seek truthification.”

Frank Wilczek, Anticipating a new golden age (2008) [734]
