Physicists should put together a list of mathematically well-defined problems that could advance the field. Such as, eg, what constitutes a low-temperature superconductor, what are the lattice conditions for cold fusion (or why do they not exist), what is a local completion of quantum mechanics, what is the simplest (in terms of computational complexity) way to obtain the masses and coupling constants of the standard model, what is the UV-completion of MOND or why isn't there any, is there any provably UV-finite version of quantum gravity, etc etc
The the words it uses that this site has seen least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone — nothing here is a summary of this one.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
