论文摘要
我反思当今的某些基本方面以外的标准模型粒子物理学，主要集中在自然性问题上，特别是在所谓的层次结构问题上。对于我们所有人来说，物理学作为自然科学的出现，伴随着伽利略和牛顿，并在解释自然现象并经常预测新现象方面取得了数百年的无与伦比的成功。我在这里认为，人们对等级制问题的长期痴迷是我们领域未来的指导原则，这是一种悲惨的后果，这是将高能量物理学偏离其自然哲学的起源，并将其转变为自然哲学。
I reflect on some of the basic aspects of present day Beyond the Standard Model particle physics, focusing mostly on the issues of naturalness, in particular on the so-called hierarchy problem. To all of us, physics as natural science emerged with Galileo and Newton, and led to centuries of unparalleled success in explaining and often predicting new phenomena of nature. I argue here that the long standing obsession with the hierarchy problem as a guiding principle for the future of our field has had the tragic consequence of deviating high energy physics from its origins as natural philosophy, and turning it into a philosophy of naturalness.
