He has been writing some articles about:

Quantum Fluctuations and Their Energy

Naturalness

The Hierarchy Problem Although this one isn't particularly new, he posted it in 2011.

These are 3 of the biggest problems facing physicists. He gives a pretty good explanation of what the problem is in each case. He doesn't have good answers, there aren't any yet.

But at least he is honest and admits it.

I've learned a lot from Matt Strassler, and when time permits, he answers even the most naive questions.

Haha I always love people worrying about naturalness problems especially scientists smile

Of course outside the world of big hugely expensive colliders there is other in some ways much more important research going on ... my choice for this week

It is a profound question to think about the forces are getting up towards the smallest neutron star and the little molecule is withstanding it??????.

Houston we have/had a problem smile

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
