=== 2023 === {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1619727377097170946 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@martinmbauer Was thinking the same. But I think it is because an enormous part of the hep-th arxiv is disingenuous physics. âSterile neutrinos from Non-commutative spacetime SUSY phenomenology over characteristic p not equal to 2.â could be a paper in a field gone mad. Or it could be a joke. |timestamp=4:01 PM ¡ Jan 29, 2023 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1623353348438249472 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=The irremovable singularities of GR indicate that Einstein is an intermediate theory. Itâs NOT final. And I wouldnât want to face an adversary that knew the ultimate theory while I was still back in spacetime thinking. Spacetime may not be hackable, but itâs successors may be.đ |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1623353346395602946 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=I am worried that should any entity get a Post Einsteinian map, those with only GR will be âownedâ by those with the advantage. Think neutrons. GU is by its nature, a post Einsteinian theory. It recovers spacetime from a more general structure. https://t.co/WrK8nnqop7 |timestamp=4:09 PM ¡ Feb 08, 2023 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1623353344344596491 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=I want to use the argument made to make a point. âLight yearsâ is a mathematical concept. Newtonian gravitation & Einsteinâs general relativity are our past & current mathematical maps of the physical âterritoryâ. The Map â The Territory.

Just because I can see that they are there in my model, does not mean I am smart enough to understand their consequences. Sorry to disappoint. Try Itzhak Bars at USC? Be well. |timestamp=4:18 PM ¡ Mar 22, 2023 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1638575793185099782 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=I donât know how to answer. I believe that the world beyond Einstein does not have a 1,3 metric where that 1 means a single future. If Iâm correct, the world is 7,7 or 5,9 pulled back to 1,3. So I decline to answer: I donât know how to think about my own modelâs pasts/futures. |timestamp=4:18 PM ¡ Mar 22, 2023 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1638578352989806595 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=Perhaps one simple thing I might add is that only with one temporal dimension do boundary conditions become initial conditions. Boundary conditions are more general and Ultra Hyperbolic equations can be defined so that Hyperbolic relativistic equations are a quirky special case. |timestamp=4:28 PM ¡ Mar 22, 2023 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1638583877781561346 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@danielbmarkham I alreadys will. |timestamp=4:50 PM ¡ Mar 22, 2023 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1638586542745882624 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@ldgaetano Gimel pulls back field content native to Y back to X. Gimel^{1,3} does the pulling back of the data (sections over Y). It is the stylus that samples the record Y^{7,7} (or Y^{5,9} in the second GU variant that is physical) and plays it back. In GU, spacetime is just the Victrola. |timestamp=5:00 PM ¡ Mar 22, 2023 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1638587024738492416 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=@ldgaetano I donât usually reply here because it is not the right forum.

But the language used about extra dimensions is not that of field theory. Itâs more that of Sci-Fi.

My experience is ânoâ. But i got there by roaming around academic research and realizing they cannot **afford** to think like scientists. Try asking researchers the following rather obvious questions to see the effect for yourself: What are male and female? What can we say about the possible origin theories of COVID? How are there labor shortages of scientists in Market Economies??? What is the strength of the argument for the necessity of directly Quantizing Gravity if spacetime is not fundamental? How do humans behave under evolutionary incentives and what really happened to sociobiology? Is worrying about cognitive impacts of microcephaly a form of phrenology? Have standardized tests been useful in predicting success in science? Why is CPI a number but weather a field? How do we evaluate the concentrated investment in String Theory/Quantum Gravity at the expense of rival approaches as our basic theory of physics? Can we use Carnegie stages to evaluate where abortion rights should begin and end? When innumerable nearly unbelievable conspiracies have been discovered, why demonize all those who consider that there could be more left to be found? Why are humans not generically modeled as having changing tastes in markets, nor diminishing returns to money (except in the theory of risk on alternate Tuesdays)? Did science work *better* before the modern Peer Review revolution of the 1960s? Why do so many of our leading theoretical particle physicists not have concrete predictions about our physical world and really instead work on toy theories almost exclusively? |timestamp=9:24 AM ¡ Aug 02, 2023 }}
