| FEATURE Towards complete theory high Given the successes the microscopic theory conventional superconductors seems natural expect similar all encompassing theory for high temperature superconductivity But the best approach Where are heading high temperature superconductivity highTc the list the most profound physics problems a collective illusion rooted sociological developments the late not illusion perceive high par with dark energy extra dimensions and the secret life High graveyard theories However this has had the beneficial effect causing state mind not dissimilar from the goal Zen Buddhism think nothingness order reach enlightenment Rid the mind from textbook wisdoms such the conventional theory Bardeen Cooper and Schrieffer BCS the Fermi gas and even resonating valence bonds RVBs and the essence high comes into view The metallic state optimal doping embodies the enlightenment Rather than being complicated this bad metal shows sacred simplicity symbolized for example its linear resistivity function temperature the melting point the crystal This reveals principle work quality Einstein principle equivalence convinced that this principle cannot found merely thinking hard the reason stopped designing theories requires experiments give away the clue and there are reasons optimistic group experimentalists are providing further evidence that phonons play important albeit quite unusual microscopic role Even this does not lead the magic bullet has least the effect discrediting | |||||||||||
