|content=The irremovable singularities of [[General Relativity|GR]] indicate that [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]] is an intermediate theory. It’s NOT final. And I wouldn’t want to face an adversary that knew the ultimate theory while I was still back in spacetime thinking.
 
Spacetime may not be hackable,
but it’s successors may be.🙏

|content=I want to use the argument made to make a point. “Light years” is a mathematical concept. Newtonian gravitation & [[Albert Einstein|Einstein’s]] [[General Relativity|general relativity]] are our past & current mathematical maps of the physical “territory”.
 
The Map ≠ The Territory.
 
I’m focused on post-Einsteinian maps.

|content=You know the laws of physics, you understand probability, you understand how many stars are within a 100 light years of Earth.  ... So let us stop pretending there is any possibility that this is nothing more than a con.

|content=I am worried that should any entity get a Post Einsteinian map, those with only [[General Relativity|GR]] will be “owned” by those with the advantage. Think neutrons.
 
[[Theory of Geometric Unity|GU]] is by its nature, a post Einsteinian theory. It recovers spacetime from a more general structure.

|content=I don’t have the full list, but the perspectives of @skdh, @notevenwrong, @witten271, @garrettlisi, @CumrunV, @bgreene, @davidekaplan, @stephen_wolfram were discussed. Happy to correct anything I/we got wrong.
 
And please retweet the top tweet if you found this interesting! 🙏

|content=Visited UCSD physics yesterday, when my colleague @DrBrianKeating suggested a collegial debate on the state of fundamental physics (i.e. what lies beyond the Standard Model & General Relativity) with a top theorist he admires, @nu_phases. Check it out!

|content=@KenSobers You would be best served with someone weirdly specialized in QCD, Chern-Simons/Theta Terms, nuclear physics and general relativity to specifically contend with Lazar’s bizarre references to “Gravity Wave A”.
 
That said, I’m considering it.

|content=I don't believe that Weinstein understands the experimental evidence around (for example) sub-atomic particle interactions that may or may not disprove Lazar's claims on their face.
 
There are many physicists in this area that Rogan could have on. Seems weird he doesn't...

|content=But keep in mind, I was at MIT for several years during the ‘90s and down the street as well both before & after, so I’m not able to shy away from questions about Cambridge MA & its physicists.
 
I’m NOT out to debunk, but I’m not at liberty to hold back either. Think carefully.👍

|content=If [[Bob Lazar]] wants to sit down with me, I’m now prepared to accept @joerogan’s invitation from this past February. But it may not go the way many folks want and should be something Mr Lazar wants to do. All I can promise is that I will do so in good faith.

|content=I’m also happy to recommend experts in Quantum Chromodynamics, Nuclear Physics, [[General Relativity]], and [[Quantum Gravity]] given that [[Bob Lazar|Lazar]] makes claims that appear to conflate the Strong nuclear force under a Yang-Mills action with the Gravitational force using Einstein-Hilbert.

|content=I have no need to do this for myself, but Joe is a friend in whom I trust, so I’ll be happy to follow his wishes. I knew little of Lazar when I appeared on JRE #1945 and nothing of his theory of “Gravity Wave A”.
 
I’ve now acquainted myself with what I could find on the claim.
