20 July 2023
- 10:5810:58, 20 July 2023 diff hist +2 Holographic principle Changing 'axiom' to 'property' in the opening. It is not an axiom, but a derived property.
8 January 2016
- 10:3610:36, 8 January 2016 diff hist −9 Supersymmetry Lead change: SUSY is not a model, but a property of models.
2 January 2016
- 16:1316:13, 2 January 2016 diff hist +4 m String theory Minor improvement of last edit
- 16:1216:12, 2 January 2016 diff hist +132 String theory Modified recently-introduced second sentence "So far exists no experimental support that our real world can be described by a string theory." Fair to want early notice that the theory is unconfirmed, but not that this means it "can" not even be right.
- 15:4815:48, 2 January 2016 diff hist −239 String theory →Background independence: Second and third sentences of this section imply background independent criticism is about spacetime being dynamic. Rather, it is about whether the theory privileges a particular spacetime.
26 December 2015
- 12:5912:59, 26 December 2015 diff hist +82 State of matter Changed lead paragraph to reflect quark-gluon plasma no longer speculative.
28 July 2015
- 13:1813:18, 28 July 2015 diff hist −31 Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox The lead sentence was wrong/nonsensical
6 April 2015
5 April 2015
- 16:3016:30, 5 April 2015 diff hist +89 String theory →Criticisms: Small changes to more correctly refer to "manifest background independence" in the appropriate section
- 16:1416:14, 5 April 2015 diff hist −63 String theory →Criticisms: Revised/moved some references to critics. Some of the references do not support the accompanying claim. See talk page.
- 16:1316:13, 5 April 2015 diff hist +1,711 Talk:String theory →"Failure" claim appears unsupported: new section
- 15:3115:31, 5 April 2015 diff hist −174 m String theory →Criticisms: Duplicate reference to Baez's blog removed (original reference link kept)
4 April 2015
- 16:2216:22, 4 April 2015 diff hist +310 Supersymmetry Revised second, third paragraphs. Text originally accompanying the Quanta article was incorrect, and that discussion should fleshed out in "motivation". Citations added as requested for symmetry-breaking claim
- 15:3415:34, 4 April 2015 diff hist +71 Supersymmetry Moved Bs meson measurement to "Current status" section. Marked as needing cleanup.
- 15:0615:06, 4 April 2015 diff hist −1,105 Supersymmetry This section does not belong here. These statements are incorrect, they're based on another speculative model, and they're copied verbatim from the cited article.
25 January 2015
- 00:2400:24, 25 January 2015 diff hist +145 Fine-tuning (physics) Link in text to Naturalness (physics)'
24 January 2015
- 21:3621:36, 24 January 2015 diff hist +1 m String theory landscape minor wording change to avoid redundancy
- 21:3521:35, 24 January 2015 diff hist +58 String theory landscape Replaced second sentence. It now reflects the fact that string theory anthropics are about addressing fine-tuning of constants, not getting GR and QFT (which are universally predicted).
14 January 2015
- 14:3314:33, 14 January 2015 diff hist −56 Quantum teleportation →Non-technical summary: Removing conflict banner after errors corrected
- 14:3114:31, 14 January 2015 diff hist +579 Talk:Quantum teleportation →removed text from lead: On my recent fixes to the non-technical summary
- 14:2314:23, 14 January 2015 diff hist +21 Quantum teleportation →Non-technical summary: Direct 'entanglement' link to wiki article rather than disambiguation page
13 January 2015
- 17:4117:41, 13 January 2015 diff hist +296 Quantum teleportation →Non-technical summary: Correcting/improving paragraph about entanglement
- 17:1117:11, 13 January 2015 diff hist −705 Quantum teleportation →Non-technical summary: Correcting several incorrect statements in opening paragraph, and removing 2 misplaced/arbitrary references
23 August 2014
- 13:4613:46, 23 August 2014 diff hist +128 Loop quantum gravity →Gravitons, string theory, super symmetry, extra dimensions in LQG: Removed one incorrect statement, consolidated and improved two paragraphs about gravitons. Added some better information about string theory.
10 December 2013
- 06:3606:36, 10 December 2013 diff hist +2,525 Dimension Bosonic string removed because it's a toy theory, not a proposal for physics. Added more text about KK theory, mentioned that it overlaps with superstring. More text about large extra dimensions. Added Brane Gas Cosmology.
- 04:4404:44, 10 December 2013 diff hist −30 Dimension Changes to reflect that string are M-theory are the same thing, not distinct proposals. Bosonic string removed because it ism Various improvements for Additional Dimensions section. Removed subjective and meaningless word "severely".

22 April 2013

- 06:0806:08, 22 April 2013 diff hist −575 Retrocausality →Current topics: Trimming out extraneous details about John Cramer which are not relevant. Whole section probably should go. Also fixed the last paragraph (bosonic string theory is a toy theory, not a proposal for physics)
- 05:3505:35, 22 April 2013 diff hist +632 Retrocausality →Current topics: Consolidated and expanded section on quantum entanglement.

- 18:1718:17, 8 April 2013 diff hist −80 m Holographic principle →Claimed experimental tests: minor flow/redundancy improvement
- 18:0518:05, 8 April 2013 diff hist +835 Holographic principle Craig Hogan's claims are only just that. The article now reflects this

- 03:4903:49, 18 February 2013 diff hist +372 Theory of everything Introduction now centered on physical issues

16 February 2013
- 12:0112:01, 16 February 2013 diff hist +265 Supersymmetry Rewrote some more of the intro. It is now much more informative, and hopefully, accessible enough too.
