-|content=A) I don’t know that the USG did derange fundamental physics for security reasons. This may only be true at the level of nuclear physics, material science/condensed matter, etc.
+|content=That is accurate.
+And I have also pointed out that physics has been recognized to be dangerous since Los Alamos.
+And I have also pointed out that some physics is known to be done in secret (e.g. national labs).
-B) I don’t know that there are *any* successes in fundamental physics in black programs. Let alone “anti-gravity”:
+And I have speculated that some of it may be deliberately fake (e.g. why doesn’t anyone in government question what happened to 40 years of ignoring competitor proposals and blindly following the string theory and  [[Quantum Gravity|quantum gravity]] bandwagons?). Why speculate? Because it *IS* dangerous to do fundamental physics in public with rivals like China and Russia and Iran.
-C) What I do wonder about is whether the U.S. government is blocking all public university fundamental physics preemptively with [[Quantum Gravity|quantum gravity]]…while likely *failing* at it in secret (e.g. in national labs) as well.
+What I don’t believe is that the U.S. solved gravity secretly or has a final theory of physics in some secure location. It’s not impossible, but I think it is highly highly highly unlikely.

+|content=Hi Eric, yes the person asserting that I had said that you were claiming the US has antigravity has completely misrepresented what I said. I’m asserting, I think correctly, that you have been a vocal critic of string theory, arguing that its dominance in theoretical physics has stifled progress and created a misleading narrative about its success.
