|content=Eric, I am still saying the same thing I said in "Lost in Math" because the situation is still the same. | |||
Q1: Not sure whether you are asking for strategies or topics. For what strategies are concerned: necessity, consistency, phenomenology. For what topics are concerned: Quantum measurements, quantum gravity, dark matter. So yes, dark matter... but don't invent unnecessary details, hence my misgiving about the figure. The entire figure is basically screaming that theorists are inventing loads of unnecessarily contrived and useless theories. | |||
Q2: can't think of anyone, sorry | |||

|content=A) The three most promising lines of attack in fundamental physics. This is likely to confuse people who think in terms of “the strong community”, “the amplitudes program”, “the LQG community”. These are the “Team Sports” branches of attack. And team players really only recognize other teams which is a MASSIVE bias. That is why String Theorists view Loop Quantum Gravity as their hand chosen rigal. It is a team that they believe doesn’t challenge them; a partner to dunk on if you will. | |content=A) The three most promising lines of attack in fundamental physics.

For my money, the true rivals are not teams. They are NOT communities. | For my money, the true rivals are not teams. They are NOT communities. | ||
