The Googly Problem

ConceptMentioned in 1 video

A particular challenge within twistor theory concerning how to construct both left-handed and right-handed gravitons (self-dual and anti-self-dual solutions) when the natural framework primarily yielded only one type. Solved by incorporating a cosmological constant.
