The Hierarchy Problem

Admin1: What is the hierarchy problem in Alphysics?

Doctor Gravytee: Hierarchy problem occurs when the fundamental parameters of fame of practitioners in the String Theory Lagrangian field are vastly different (usually academically incompatible) than the parameters evaluated and assumed to exist experimentally by practitioners themselves.

A1: You mean there is an absolute hierarchy in the String Theory?

Dr. G: Hierarchy is absolute because each practitioner in String Theory overly overestimates his authority mass. But professional academic mythology prescribes an absolutely true measurement of authority proportional to number of papers published plus seniority plus rank.

A1: I know this is called renormalization.

Dr. G: Typically the renormalized parameters are closely related to the fundamental parameters self-estimated by practitioners, but in some cases, it appears that there has been a delicate cancellation between the fundamental quantity and the quantum corrections to it. Therefore, it is clear that hierarchy problem is related to fine-tuning problems and the problems of naturalness.

A1: An example please.

Dr. G: A famous Doctor of Alphysics, Doctor Weinberg is a Nobel laureate and measures his authority mass by heavily weighing in his Nobel prize, and therefore he places his absolute position in the hierarchy of Alphysics to be on top, at least nearly on top, maybe just below Einstein. Doctor Weinberg claims that it is an experimental fact that he is a top tier Alphysicist. Doctor Weinberg assumes academic renormalization and counts his Nobel as fine-tuning bonus.

A1: This is an experimental fact if there is any in Alphysics.

Dr. G: But Doctor of Philosophy Doctor Greene has vastly more fame than Doctor Weinberg and Doctor Greene's measurements of his authority shows exceptionally high elegantly fine tuning of fine-tuning terms and furthermore Doctor Greene adds some clever quantum corrections to his status connected to the vacuum oscillations created by his best-seller books in the Amazon spacetimes indicators and creates not only a hierarchy problem but a true hierarchy crisis.

A1: I see. Doctor Weinberg could not agree that his Nobel counts nothing against the elegant tunings of Doctor Greene just because Greene sold more books.

Dr. G: Greene on the other hand claims that Weinberg's Nobel renormalized well when it was new but now it is old news and it has re-depracated beyond re-renormalization. This is the hierarchy problem. It is fascinating science. This is the cutting edge of Alphysics.
