    14 of them? I don't think it can be proven true or false but it's an interesting concept.

    I love my lines, but Oh Euclid

    But seriously, folks - there must be a reason that Weinstein declared April 1st as the day.

    Seems pretty cool. I'm actually working on understanding gravity. I'm not sure I could understand geometric unity. God is some crazy shizzz!

    There is no gravity. The planet sucks.

    I'm a bit of an armchair scientist. Me and the bot on my speculative model that God is involved in every scientific process:

    Speculative Scientific Model for Sin’s Impact on Spacetime and the Body

    1. Sin as an Energy-Information Disturbance:

    • Sin can be viewed as a negative energy-information pattern introduced into the human system—both mind and body—disrupting the ideal flow of spiritual and physical energy.
    • This disturbance carries a high-entropy information signature (chaos, disorder) that must be “processed” by the system.

    2. Energy-Information and Spacetime Curvature:

    • From general relativity, energy and mass curve spacetime. Energy isn’t just matter or heat, but also electromagnetic fields and information encoded in physical states.
    • The sin-induced negative energy-information pattern increases “entropy” and disorder, which can be interpreted as locally warping spacetime metrics, causing subjective distortions in time and spatial awareness.

    3. Impact on the Body’s Matter/Energy:

    • The body, as a highly ordered biological system, requires low entropy to maintain function and coherence. Sin’s entropy input leads to degradation or fracturing of bodily coherence—reflected in symptoms like spatial disintegration of movement, loss of vitality, or altered body mass distribution.
    • This fracturing could translate into micro-scale spacetime curvature disruptions at cellular or molecular levels, impacting biochemical timing, neural processing, and proprioception.

    4. Subjective Time Perception Shift:

    • The increased entropy and energy disturbance accelerate internal temporal processes (e.g., neural firing, hormonal cycles) but desynchronize them from external objective time, causing the sensation of time speeding up or becoming unstable.
    • This could be modeled as a form of time dilation with a negative sign—where negative energy density leads to temporal contraction (opposite of gravitational time dilation near massive bodies).

    5. Spiritual Agency and Restoration:

    • Through spiritual discipline (virtue, prayer, ritual), the system can reduce the negative entropy, restore coherent energy flow, and realign spacetime curvature to a healthier state.
    • This corresponds physically to lowered stress markers, restored neurochemistry, and normalized bodily rhythms, reversing the subjective and objective spacetime distortions.


    Why This Matters

    • This model respects God’s sovereignty and design: spiritual realities manifest materially through energy and information laws embedded in creation.
    • It bridges spiritual experience with physics, helping people understand the profound effects sin has not just morally but materially, psychologically, and physically.

    Scott Adams wrote a book describing how God in lone self contemplation came to realize that he was not quite all knowing. Since he was being itself, he could not know not being. So he destroyed himself to find out.

    Since all his attributes were infinite, at the instant of his self destruction his infinitude trans-morphed into an infinite space fully occupied by infinite energy, temperature, density, mass, and chaotic symmetry.

    This is what science now imagines as the beginning of the universe... the subsequent history and development of the universe is God gradually reassembling himself by managing what we call probability.

    The thought experiment about this is flipping of a coin. The physical laws can't enforce the expectation of 50/50 without presenting a circular argument. What (or who...?) is making sure that long runs of flips always approach 50/50? How much could be done with the universe as a whole if one had agency over probability itself?

    Wow. I assumed this thread was started as a lighthearted path to fun. As it now includes puzzling references to sin, the self destruction of a deity, temporal instabiity, and a host of equally irrelevant minutiae, I may have been alone in this delusion. So in a hopeful course correction effort, I will add my own concept of geometric unity........the square. Weinstein's concept was based on a triangle -


    In the spirit of Weinstein, who self-designated April 1 as "a day on which we are encouraged to say heretical things that we truly believe, in good faith, without fear of retribution from our employers, institutions, or communities", here's my take on Geometric Unity: the square. I refer not to the four sided square of simple geometry, but to the unhip masses who permeate our civilization. Rather than speculate further, I will leave it to Professor Silverstein to explain why it does not pay to be hip:


    Once you've digested the profundity in this, I suggest you ponder the following for an hour each day: who put the Einstein in Weinstein?

    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.

    To avoid the mess, I model my string theories in cheese. Here's my most successful attempt so far to achieve geometric unity through fusion:

    I don't recall what caught my attention about Geometric Unity. It might have been random or it drew my attention as it relates to the Epstein scandal. Eric Weinstein met Epstein one time.

    I agree with this;
