    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.

    As he defines the family of shiab operators,
    remember, and keep saying to yourself pi is
    the Riemannian geometry contorsion tensor.

    There is no gravity. The planet sucks.

    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:

    Next time use 26 dimensional string cheese!

    There seems to be a failure to communicate;

    I learned my lesson 40 years ago. Don't get involved in psy ops.

    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;
