students who post this shit who are)
So a journalist and a physicist go into a bar to discuss the meaning of
the universe! I wonder what the punchline of that joke is going to be.
The Guardian? Now isn't that where you get all your "climate science"
from? A reliable science source, I'm sure. This is what I just LOVE!
"As he took me through the equations he had
been formulating I began to see emerging before my eyes potential
answers for many of the major problems in physics."
A physicist took a Guardian journalist through his equations? That's like
taking an anthill through the calculations of civil engineering! It's
like taking Sam Wormley through CO2 spectroscopy. It's like taking Bill
Gates through the ethics of running a moral business.
Talk about over-estimating one's own intelligence! This article deserves
some kind of prize!

Weinstein's theory answers: "Very little in the universe is
arbitrary. The mathematics explains why it should work
the way it does. If this isn't a description of how our universe
works then frankly I'd prefer to move to the universe where
it does!"

just general hand waving does not advance us a bit
2
noidiot have to delude himself that
one or two or three mathematical formula
will solve the secrets of our universe
3
it should be understood once and for all
that mathematical formulations cannot lead physics
it id not formula on flat paper fiddles by a mathematician
upside down or vice verse playing chess with himself will not do it
in a similar way that
no mathematical formula can define say
the human Gen-om
and not to mention about HOW IT WORKS
IE THE DYNAMICS OF IT
it is ways more complicated than a
flat paper mathematician can even imagine
just start thinking FIST OF ALL physics !!
SO in short
you are absolutely not even in the right direction
or
iow
wasting your and others time and resources

This is not new. It is well known that many, in fact an infinity of
mathematical spaces generate "universes" (and even with the emergence
of intelligent life). Even back to Plato this was all articulated.
The question is, amongts all the possible universes (math), which one
is ours? It is to be seen if Weinstein's fits the bill.
