|content=Yes. In GU, [[General Relativity]] actually encodes the [[Standard Model]].
That is, the 10 of “SO(10) Grand Unification” is actually the same 10 as the 10 of Einstein’s 10 coupled field equations.
[And it’s technically actually Spin(4,6)  rather than SO(10). Details…]

Q: “What makes GU’s extra dimensions more physically grounded? Is there an observational path that distinguishes them, or are we still relying on elegance over first principles?”
Q: “What makes [[Theory of Geometric Unity|GU’s]] extra dimensions more physically grounded? Is there an observational path that distinguishes them, or are we still relying on elegance over first principles?”


A: Because, unlike String Theory, GU introduces *zero* extra dimensions. None. All 14 dimensions come from data within Einstein’s 4 dimensions.

Every Einsteinian space-time X^4 is ALREADY a section of the bundle of possible metric tensors. That bundle Y^14(X^4) has dimension 14 within General Relativity. All those 14 dimensions are endogenous and not extra dimensions. The data is all within X^4.

SUMMARY. GU introduces no extra dimension beyond those already found in General Relativity. All data is within X^4.
SUMMARY. [[Theory of Geometric Unity|GU]] introduces no extra dimension beyond those already found in [[General Relativity]]. All data is within X^4.


[GU also introduces FAR LESS data than is introduced within the standard model. I believe there is no other theory that introduced fewer initial assumptions or is even close to GU in this regard.]

Thanks for the question.

|content=This may be the most delightfully ignorant post I have seen in some time.
The discovery of Quarks: 1968</br>
The founding of Molecular Biology: 1953</br>
Teller-Ulam H-Bomb Design: 1952</br>
Golden Age of General Relativity: 1953-75</br>
World Wide Web: 1989</br>
Axial Tomography for CT scans: 1960</br>
Yang Mills theory: 1954</br>
Dark Energy Discovery: 1998</br>
Ahronov Bohm Holonomy: 1959</br>
CKM and PNMS Generation Structure: ‘73</br>
Higgs Mechanism Discovey: 1960s</br>
Higgs Discovery: 2012</br>
W and Z particles Discovered: 1983</br>
Cosmic Microwave Radiation: 1964</br>
DESI: Right Now.</br>
Etc…
I will even take my enemies…the frauds, scoundrels, cosplayers, saboteurs and failed among the physicists…over the heroes of any other field.
Your entire world, including its economy, is the product of physics. It’s that dramatic.
Do the research. You will find the same.

|content=The DESI results are potentially paradigm shattering.
Not just for Cosmology &amp; the Lambda CDM model.
But, via Lovelock’s theorem, they’re potentially threatening [[General Relativity]].
@DrBrianKeating &amp; I got into it here after my UCSD talk on replacing the cosmological constant:

|content=Dive into a mind-bending 2.5 hour episode with @EricRWeinstein, the deepest we've ever gone with the scientist who is taking apart modern academia’s obsession with string theory and quantum gravity.
We cover everything from cosmology to politics.
From DESI results challenging the cosmological constant, to his 2013 unified theory of physics which predicts its demise, Eric’s ideas are a force to be recorded with.  Link below.

|content=Unfortunately, the field of theoretical physics is once again being threatened almost daily by new ideas. Keeping those new ideas out of theoretical physics when we have the 50YO [[Standard Model|"Standard Model of Particle Physics"]], the 25YO "Standard Model of Cosmology", and our over 110YO [[General Relativity|"General Relativity"]], has fallen to a tiny handful of aging gatekeepers and increasingly aggressive enforcer-psychopaths who know that true progress requires that patience be measured in millenia when we already have the one true theory in every case.
What calamity would befall physics if those science enforcers faltered? One shudders even to contemplate.
The "Grift", The "Arrogance", The "Charlatanism!", The "Bunk", The Change, The Repudiation of Dogma...my god. The progress could be unbearable. Imagine if we were wrong and the critics of the last 40+ years weren't crazy after all.... ;-) We might even have to apologize.
Unthinkable!
[Seriously: who are these morons? It's like Zombie Fauci-ism on steroids. Where do they come from? This is kinda just unbelievable. May be time to just roll over the science NPCs.]

|content=If only we weren't hemmed in by Lovelock's theorem to a cosmological constant, and we were forced to consider other (40 year old) dynamic...and even more *geometric*...models of "Dark Energy", perhaps this would actually be exciting.
Nah...who are we kidding.  I'm sure with a few more decades, this will all be worked out. Let's get the people who haven't ever succeeded well into their 70s and 80s to peer review and gate keep this to absolute perfection. What does String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity have to say? AdS/CFT? Let's get Dennis Overbye (81) to write it up!
Remember: String Theory is 22nd Century Physics that just happened to fall into the 21st Century.
LFG!
