You guys are just so full of yourselves. What are you
in your 20s? Born around AdS/CFT? Am I your problem student finally coming along to “get it”?

You think I can’t understand you! Right? Like you are my teacher or something. Adorable.

I forget what this community is like. You do realize you are still playing with toy models working a million miles away from actual laboratory physics?

Take a look out your window Tim: No quarks. No neutrinos. No generations. You are on the train to NERPH (Not Even Remotely Physics). You just don’t know it. Before long you will leave for a job so you can buy a house or retire without ever having made contact with physical reality. As a physics person. Wake up.

You’re not even in spacetime Tim. You are likely playing with Riemann surfaces. Your “Higgs Fields” are often valued in the adjoint bundles. Your metrics are often Euclidean signature. Your SUSY is likely unsupported by any LHC superpartners. Etc. Etc.

You actually think I don’t get it because if I did “get it” I would certainly agree with you.
