天地有大美而不言
四时有明法而不议
万物有成理而不说
圣人者
原天地之美而达万物之理。
——《庄子 • 知北游》
“物理” is the Chinese translation for “physics”.
Space has its own great beauty yet speaks nothing of it
Time has its own clear law yet utters nothing of it
Everything has its own existing principle yet explains nothing of it
The sages source the beauty of spacetime and reach the truth of everything
——”Chuang Tzu (369 BC – 286 BC) • Knowledge Rambling in the North“
My name is WANG, Shao-Jiang (王少江). I was born in Wenzhou city of China. I am currently an associate professor at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
I have been working on the meeting-point topics of cosmology, gravitation, and particle physics including cosmic inflation, modified gravity, dark energy, dark matter, holographic complexity, baryon acoustic oscillation, gravitational waves, cosmological first-order phase transition, cosmic microwave background, primordial black hole, Higgs, axion, quantum cosmology, swampland conjectures, cold atom, Hubble tension, cosmic string (to be continued).
