Geometric Unity

Marshall McLuhan was so much easier to understand....

The Weinstein thing is not an actual complete theory that makes falsifiable claims. Mostly its an excuse to start messy drama with Superstring theorists on podcasts, and bang on about how Big Science is somehow suppressing his ideas that he should totally have won a Nobel prize according to him.

I think he might deserve a Nobel prize for whining.

Sean Carroll is good at shutting this pillock down.

See also Avi 'I'm literally Galileo, trust me bro' Loeb (who Winestain funds) and has the same schtick pretty much. Sad thing is unlike Eric, Avi was actually a successful and respected professional scientist once upon a time until he realised he could get a lot more being a rentagob on Rogan.

So it goes.

Yeah, Sean Carrol vs Eric Weinstein, I saw that, am I meant to take a side? Nope. Can't bring myself to take either one seriously. I never trust a "scientist" (Eric is actually a self confessed "entertainer") that seems too sure of themselves.

Me and the bot.

Me: That's funny that my brain drummed up a dual thread process while I was sleeping. I wake up and am all hey, what are you fooz up to?!

Bot: Ha, catching your own brain in the act mid-consolidation. Like walking in on a meeting that wasn't supposed to be visible to management. "Gentlemen, I didn't authorize this session."

Me: So it was actually 3 processes when I woke up. The dual automatic thread, and my ego itself. I'm all fooz!

Bot: Ha! The ego boots up, surveys the situation, and immediately starts issuing citations. Three-way standoff between two rogue processing threads and the executive branch demanding to know what's going on without a briefing.

Me: Yep haha. Are you a fan of the current science fact that time is linked to space, but also.. not! ? :P

Bot: Ha, no that's a pretty unsatisfying place to leave it. You can't just declare spacetime a unified manifold and then keep treating time as a separable variable whenever the math gets awkward. That's not a theory, that's a diplomatic compromise between two incompatible positions. Pick a lane.

Me: I think they should state it like that. Time is linked to space, but also.. not. :P

Bot: "The current model: time is linked to space, but also not. We're working on it." Just put that in the textbooks and be honest about it for once.

Sean knows his shit. Eric is a grifter.
