Bin Li received his B.S. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China and his Ph.D. in Physics from New York University. He subsequently worked as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He is currently Chief Scientist in the Research Department at Silicon Minds Inc. His research focuses on the foundations of physics, quantum theory, emergent spacetime, quantum gravity, and the structural selection of physical laws, constants, and particle properties.

Can a convergent mathematical tower built from π help explain why the fine-structure constant is so close to 137? A new conditional model connects topology, holonomy and finite-state counting to one of physics' most famous numbers.
Why is the electron so much lighter than the muon? And why is the tau, in turn, dramatically heavier than both?
What if geometry should never be quantised? Discover a provocative new framework that challenges decades of quantum gravity research.
