Thumbs up on the title: Lord of the Strings!

[@EfficientEnergyTransformations]

"Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality." Nikola Tesla. Any theoretical construct ( mathematical or otherwise ) without experimental substance is just an imaginary tool to provide us with reasoning about the things we think we understand but in reality we really do not know.

I'll give Mr. Unzicker on thing, he does have a good eye for nice background, though he should invest in a mic to help with the background noise.

[@ChrisAthanas]

Yes, lets scrape together $.01 per subscriber and get him a good $50 mic!

The background looks like he’s been having ongoing conversations with AI.

Theories are just that theories, but are they testable?

@@Ukie88 nowadays, the theory is a part of a busyness, and not the science. New theory means more money.

[@ZeroOskul]

[EDITED] According to some sources,[that Witten does not deny], he has an IQ approaching 200, but no IQ test goes above 160. Weird.

[@rodkeh]

IQ is a measure of how average you are and has no useful meaning. People with a high IQ are just idiots with a head full of useless facts that they don't know what to do with but they think it makes them smart. It doesn't! The man who at one time had the highest IQ in The US, worked as a bouncer in a night club. He thought his high IQ meant he was brilliant so he decided to write a book on Physics even though he had never studied the subject because he thought his IQ made him intelligent. Needless to say he didn't get to the first chapter. He was just another idiot with a head full of useless facts! IQ is a measure stupidity...

[@hoon_sol]

Source for him claiming that? As far as I know it's only others who have estimated his IQ, to around 190 if I'm not mistaken; and it's only _reliable_ tests which go to around 160, technically there would be ~8 people on the planet with an IQ of 190.

[@ZeroOskul]

@hoon_sol Technically that falls within the margin of error, 8/8,000,000,000. I have revised my comment, I could swear I had heard him say it but now I think I only heard him introduced that way, but he never denied it. Estimates based on his known test scores suggest an IQ of 160-165, which should just max out 160.

[@hoon_sol]

@@ZeroOskul: No, what I mean is that by definition there are 8 people on the planet with that IQ, there's no "margin of error" there, because ultimately IQ is essentially just a comparative ranking of intelligence between people, where an IQ of so and so means you're more intelligent than a certain number of people. If you are among the top 8 most intelligent people in the world, your IQ is by definition 190+, even if that's virtually impossible to actually test for.

[@ZeroOskul]

@hoon_sol What is the exact number of humans on the planet at this second? I need to know so that the exact numbers can be extrapolated from the percentage distribution on the standard IQ chart relative to the total human population. Don't you know the exact total human population of the planet at this exact second? No? That's the margin of error. Yes: REALITY is the part OUTSIDE your imagination. Outside your head is the world of real things. SHUSH, YOU!!! Stop spouting bullplop just to spout bullplop! Reality matters. Shush!!!

[@paulg444]

if I heard his last " Wittecism" correctly he was contrasting Einsten and Witten... as certainly no one hit the target as sharply as Einstein.

[@MKSense1]

Einstein hit the target mathematically and for now is a genius as only 3 of his main presumption were proved.

[@somerandomboi8239]

​@@MKSense1and how many are there?

[@phaethon3124]

i think i understand the variable speed of light now.i'm not sure if my understanding is the same as unzicker.i'll get the book when i have some pennies....matter is spinning aether which in turn conveys a turning moment upon its surrounding aether and spins the universe itself .translucent mediums slow light as they become more dense and as the aether universe spins faster it is like matter which is more dense.the speed of light gets slower with time ,frequency stays constant and wavelength of closer stars are bluer and shorter

[@phaethon3124]

maybe the michelson morley experiment works in space

[@phaethon3124]

i dont think there were giant people,only giant lizards.maybe this was more to do with factors other than the changing nature of matter..maybe pangaea was at a pole which was angled in 24hr sunlight.there may have been more atmosphere that collided with space nebula hydrogen

[@ChrisAthanas]

Someone that smart should be able to explain it super easily, by inventing and illustrating the correct model. But nah, he just bullies anyone asking too many questions.

[@surendranmk5306]

I have never tried even to read string theory.

[@dozenalmath]

Well, Witten didn't consider base-12 mathematics or geometry, so I guess he wasn't smart enough to see that target... Does that make me a genius for shooting at a target no one else sees? Hardly, but... anybody else here looking at base-12 mathematics and geometry? I'm not going to declare myself a genius, but truth remains that no one is aiming at base-12 geometry. I guess time will tell whether it was a target worth aiming for, or not... though it does generate a diagram defining 360 points on the circumference of a circle - and that's something you can't do in base-10!

the audio seems very clear to me. The microphone is fine. I can hear wind and page turnings and cars as if I were really there. Much easier to hear than many youtube videos that have loud music in the background. I prefer these natural background sounds. A nice touch that fits the theme of natural unvarnished reality......................

[@Nahash5150]

I have not trusted theoretical physics for a long time. It's just another mythology now. The way they describe 'quantum mechanics' and the universe (like the multiverse and black holes) it's indistinguishable from ancient myths. They just don't use the same language, but it's the same ideas - universe in a state of birthing and dying from a nest of other creations, telepathic communication, unlimited creative power, only there when 'observed', oblivion, reincarnation, magically appearing out of nowhere, etc, etc. Then there's the mysterious 'laws of physics' which cannot be broken and have no creator and nothing generates them - they are just there for no reason, even when the universe doesn't support them, ie, Grand Unified Theory. So these laws of physics are eternal and uncreated...just like a god. It's nothing more than a religion for cynics. The funny thing is, they are just worshipping the same myths but using a different language.

[@somerandomboi8239]

Well it works, the approach has generated some quite marvelous stuff. I totally see what you mean though, and it should be said and shouted from the rooftops, but that's the human limit right there. The effort is still commendable, the issue is most of them are not honest about it. There's a fabulous new video game called Empire of the Ants - them little things live on an island somewhere and call the beach "the end of the world" - you see the analogy. This is the end of our reach, very likely. In theoretical frameworks I mean, i.e. in _understanding_, in engineering not so much, at least not yet. I think it's time we altered brains (of very few chosen ones ofc, nobody will ever allow it en masse, and good bcs they shouldn't) like they do in the novels of Peter Watts. If we want out of this rut, that is. Thoughts?

[@Nahash5150]

@somerandomboi8239 science is good because... Technology... Is a terrible justification. We've always had technology, and the power struggle that goes along with it. Technology has often been associated with wonder which helps promote religious fidelity. So that's also not new to science. It was very common for the shamanic traditions to possess secret knowledge which caused wonderment among the ignorant masses. Same thing happens today. It's all the same opera but sung in a different tune. Furthermore, every crisis humanity supposedly faces in the modern world can be directly linked to scientific knowledge. Whether it's global warming, AI or world war 3, our pursuit of so-called scientific knowledge has put us on the very brink of destruction, if not the abyss of existential depravity. In other words science can't be good if it's responsible for just about every evil humanity faces. We just don't look at reality the way we should. We do not see the truth. And science is largely responsible for this ignorance.

Is it wiser to criticize a person that most of your audience mindlessly venerates, or to publicly venerate that person along with the mindless? The answer depends on which you value more, truth or political correctness, (AKA: “Awake” or “Woke”)
