Physics’ Overton Window.

We can talk about CRAZY stuff that’s irrelevant to our lives & never progresses: Boltzmann Brains, Many Worlds, String Theory Unification, AdS, Super-partners, etc.

We can’t talk about anything that COULD suddenly change everything. UAP, other TOEs, etc

5:34 PM ¡ Jul 9, 2021

My point isn’t at all that low probability topics are likely to change everything. It’s that we feel *safe* knowing certain crazy ideas always seem to lead nowhere. But we feel unsafe when we don’t know if what we’re looking at *could* surprise us by suddenly changing our world.

5:43 PM ¡ Jul 9, 2021

An example: In GU, relativity theory is recovered from the Observerse which is constructed around two separate spaces X and Y. Einstein’s Spacetime (a signature (1,3) 4-manifold with pseudo Riemannian metric) is recovered from observations of Y by X.

6:11 PM ¡ Jul 9, 2021

Another example. Some see spacetime as the commutative limit of a non-commutative manifold. That would be beyond relativity.

Others see topology changing operators that allow agents to change spacetime topologically. Again that would be beyond the usual relativity theory.

6:11 PM ¡ Jul 9, 2021

But in standard Relativity theory as an effective theory, I don’t think about FTL. Sorry.

*If* we are being visited, it is likely not with conventional propulsion. It is insane that we are not talking about this as possible new physics. The conversation will go right back to technology, security, skeptism etc.

Anything but physical discussion of a physical phenomena.

6:13 PM ¡ Oct 23, 2021

I cannot understand what we are doing here.

It makes zero sense. Give science our data. Now.

6:13 PM ¡ Oct 23, 2021

The unwillingness to turn our own physical data over to our own scientists makes this whole thing sound to me like we are choosing to fake extra-terrestrial visitation. That would be the main reason to think this is all a moronic psy-op. But why do that? It can't work in the end.

6:20 PM ¡ Oct 23, 2021

Sooner or later we are either going to be asking why our government faked this moronic story OR why they withheld our data from the people we needed to see it.

This is not primarily a technology issue. It's either a propoganda/mind-control issue or a science issue at this point.

6:20 PM ¡ Oct 23, 2021

Who isn’t turning over What physical evidence? What’re you referring to?

5:19 AM ¡ Oct 24, 2021

@MLGACE Whatever our data is for UFO/UAP. Accelerations. Heat signature. Cloaking. Transmedia behavior. Cornering ability. I have no idea. I just know we aren't looking at high quality data and I know we have MUCH higher quality data than has been released.

And the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics does not go to physics...

10:00 AM ¡ Oct 8, 2024

“Anything but Physics” has tremendous predictive power.

We can discuss Spin Foam.
Or Boltzmann Brains.
Or 3D Chern-Simons.
Or Strings.
Or Alien warp drives.
Or Quantum computing.
Or Calabi-Yau manifolds.
Or Machine Learning.
Or Tenure/PeerReview/Grants.
Etc Etc

But not physics.

Mark my words: “Anything-But-Physics”.

And I badly want to eat those words.

But we’ll literally do anything around advancing physics that does not amount to advancing theoretical physics.

There’s an “Anything But Actual Theoretical Physics” force field shielding us from GR+SM.

🇺🇸 NEW NASA CHIEF JARED ISAACMAN: TRUMP'S SPACE ORDER IS "MOST SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT SINCE KENNEDY ERA"

Isaacson revealed that Trump's sweeping space executive order signed last week represents America's biggest space commitment in over 60 years, laying out plans for a permanent lunar base and nuclear-powered deep space exploration:

"It's been a week, we've been going near 24-7.

The president's national space policy is probably the most significant commitment to American leadership in space since the Kennedy era.

It reaffirms our commitment to return to the moon and establish the infrastructure so we can maintain an enduring presence.

Build the moon base.

From there we're gonna start making investments in nuclear power in space, nuclear propulsion so we can make that next giant leap in human space exploration. Extraordinarily exciting time at NASA."

We’ll do quantum computing.
We can do quantum information.
We’ll try fusion.
We’ll fund String Theory.
We’ll do space exploration.
We’ll celebrate chemical rockets.
We’ll have space stations.
We’ll talk meta-materials.
We’ll launch telescopes.

All to starve fundamental physics.

7:06 AM ¡ Dec 27, 2025

Has anyone else noticed how consistent this is? Anyone?

Anything that sounds like theoretical physics, but isn’t fundamental physics gets a green light.

This is glaring at this point.

Unmistakeable.
