|content=You will see that General Relativity actually has Grossman as a coauthor at the level of ideas. The main mind blowing insight is in a co-authored 1913 paper seldom discussed. All that changes after that is the instantiation. Science fetishizes instance over insight. So bizarre... | |||

|content=Notice this style of article. It confuses the *instantiation* of an idea which experiment *can* probe w/ the idea *itself* which experiment *cannot* probe. This is one of the most basic errors in science, philosophy of science & science reporting. | |||

Read Diracās 1963 SciAm essay. | |||

|content=Iām sorry but whatās being addressed is closer to Naive Mildly Broken Spacetime SuperSymmetry models based on SUSY extensions of the symmetries of flat spacetime. Which many, if not most, sane theorists didnāt believe. But that seems to be a mouthful to say. Hence this silliness. | |||

|content=The bottomline is that the scientific method doesnāt work on ideas. It only works on instantiations of ideas & executions of experiments. [[The Scientific Method is the Radio Edit of Great Science|That is why I call the Scientific Method the āRadio Edit of Great Scienceā. Itās scienceās Golden Calf. It isnāt how top science works at all.]] | |||

|content=So why do we keep making this error. Because the real issue is keeping out bad ideas and keeping order. The Scientific Method can be invoked selectively against loons and heretics and suspended selectively for those we believe in. Read Dirac on Schrodinger. Or Einstein&Grossman. | |||
