|content=Has it yet occurred to those now weary of the Fauci/Collins anti-scientific smear-campaigns, that this strategy of ‘smear-driven scientific consensus’ became nearly *universal*? [[String Theory|String-Theory]], Neo-Darwinism, and Neo-Classical Economics being top examples: it’s all like this now.

|content=The Fauci/Collins playbook to create a false impression of scientific consensus on COVID policy (used on lab-leak, lockdowns & early treatment):
1. Call scientists who disagree "fringe"
2. Deploy big tech misinformation hordes to suppress opposing thoughts

|content=Respectfully disagree. The problem isn’t “String Theory”. As a harsh critic of the field I’m first to admit that there is tremendous depth in “String Theory”. The problem is the effect of “String Culture” on the culture of *actual* physics tied to the world in which we live.

|content=@martinmbauer Wait. You added a claim. String theory does not predict a 1,3 spacetime. You can make the usual Post-diction argument. But that wasn’t right.

|content=@AlexanderRKlotz @martinmbauer Obviously folks work on other things. So no argument there. They will always do so.
 
But the bizarre sudden level of marginalization and change in the field is something I have talked to Shelly about. And it was a concern to him at the time going back to the anomaly cancellation.

|content=@martinmbauer And I agree with everything you said with the exception of “dramatically overemphasize” (and a tiny bit with “by-far”). But you should go down my list and explain if you want me to understand you substantively, keeping in mind that we aren’t at odds over your assertions.

|content=Would love to get back to explaining things about the true wonder of our existence.
 
If you are fascinated by Entanglement, Quantum Weirdness, Relativity Theory, The Multiverse, String Theory etc, most of you would be better served studying fiber bundles:

|content=According to physics, you’re a wave. A conscious wave.
 
As a conscious wave, you were curious as a child. The most natural question for a conscious wave is probably “If I’m but a conscious wave, in what medium am I an excitation?”
 
Yet most waves never ask this question.
 
Why?

|content=The short answer is “You appear to be a wave in a structure called a Fiber Bundle.” of which many have never heard.
 
I talk about Fiber Bundles a lot because they appear to underlie all of existence, and am thus very confused by physicists who don’t discuss them. It’s so odd. https://t.co/QwLeBEkbLL

|content=For years this has been the leading image of a fiber bundle on Google Image search. This I take as proof that the human race is slightly insane: Our leading image of the underlying medium of existence itself looks to me like a bandaid/plaster that has been ripped off a hairy arm. https://t.co/YptHgWAsRo

|content=We created this picture so that you would have a picture of what a “Fiber Bundle with Gauge Potential” actually is. So that everyone could see in what type of structure they actually vibrate.
 
So far as I know, this is the only animation of its kind:
