  • British mathematician and philosopher Sir Roger Penrose and American theoretical physicist Michio Kaku are two prominent figures in the scientific community. Sir Roger Penrose is famous for his research on Black Holes, and Michio Kaku is renowned for his String Theory.
    However, did you know that Sir Roger Penrose strongly rejects Michio Kaku's string theory? What's more interesting is that Sir Roger Penrose doesn't even believe in the idea of cosmic inflation and suggests that cosmic inflation is nothing more than a fantasy

    Penrose is right, at least in terms of semantics. A scientific theory is defined by its ability to predict the behavior of yet-unstudied systems. String "theory" is more of a string "hypothesis": consistent much of what we know, but not established enough to be predictive in nature.

    I fully admit I have no deep understanding of string theory, but still I'm going to say that when you start adding lots of dimensions to your hypothesis just to make your "beautiful math" work, it kinda feels like you're more interested in keeping the hypothesis artificially alive than finding out any fundamental truths.

      I mean we invented the imaginary dimension to find a relationship between exponential growth and pi + develop continuous solutions to discrete functions. Seemed like sophistry at the time with no real application but lo and behold much of differential systems, statistics and particle physics are based nowadays on that mathematics.
      Upper dimensional factors to explain 3D and 4D phenomenon have been integral to physics since the 1600’s. String theory isn’t special there. As usual though our math is a bit ahead of our physical understanding, though enough current evidence of assumptions in black holes & gravity being proven true points to at least some elements of string theory being credible.

      Imaginary numbers (i.e. numbers that incorporate logically impossible the number _i,_ which is the square root of -1) are absolutely vital to our understanding of physics, and I think they would be subject to the same complaint if we didn't already know that _i_ was just as vital a mathematical tool for understanding the world as, say, π. Irrational numbers too were historically attacked by philosophers on a similar basis when they were discovered.
      Also, on the notion of the extra dimensions. First, a confused AI probably write the script for this video. Really, string theory posits either 10 or 11 dimensions...not 26. "Bosonic" string theory, from the 1960's, required 26 dimensions, but it was largely abandoned in the 1980's with the advent of 10-dimensional superstring theory and later 11-dimensional M-theory. In any case, the extra dimensions are posited to be curled up (i.e. "compactified") and microscopic, but at that scale still accessible to the equally tiny strings that make up particles. We at our scale never interact with them, but the strings would.
      A standard analogy is to imagine an ant walking along a length of yarn stretched between two houses. To people in the houses, the length of the yarn looks like a line, two dimensional. To the ant, though it can see the yarn is three dimensional (with the tthird-simensional component being cited around the yarn). The ant's path across the yarn might not just be back or forward, it can also access that curled dimension to follow a curved path around the circumference of the yarn.

    "Dark Matter" is simply another term for unexplained gravity. We have a really good understanding of gravity on a planetary scale or a solar system scale. We can apply mathematical formulae based on mass calculations and make highly accurate predictions every time. But those same formulae don't work out on a galactical scale.
    Basically, galaxies are producing more gravity than their accumulated mass would suggest, based on our current understanding of it. And no one knows why. So yeah, maybe dark matter isn't a thing. But there's still some unexplained force that is holding these spiral galaxies together, because based on our understanding of gravity, these spiral galaxies should be obliterated from their own rotation.

I always see it as a bunch of swirl pools, we're in one complex swirl pool and beyong the "edge" of the galaxy we have more of the same. My theory is that black holes are the actual edges, we just didn't expect them to be sphericle, but everything is trying to form into a sphere, so it makes sense. My guess is that on the otherside of a black hole we'd see everything opposite of what it does here. Instead of sucking space away, it's creating space by spewing it outward. Gravity pushes instead of pulls. Light is dark instead of light and to the inhabitant this is normal and they're trying to figure out what the hell is on the other side of their orb that pushes matter outwards at the speed of light 😂

    I was looking for Roger Penrose saying "dark matter doesn't exist" in vain. In his book on CCC, he states "In the subsequent aeon, the new "omega-bar" (my description of his symbol which looks like a lower case omega with a bar across the top) matter that comes about initially takes over the degrees of freedom present in the gravitational waves in the prior aeon. Dark matter seems to have had special status at the time of our Big Bang, and this is certainly the case for omega-bar. The idea is that shortly after the Big Bang (presumably when the Higgs comes into play), this new omega-bar-field acquires a mass, and it then becomes the actual dark matter that appears to play such an important role in shaping the subsequent matter distributions, with various kinds of irregularities that are observed today". He then goes onto say that both dark matter and dark energy (the latter in the form of a gravitational constant) are both essential components of CCC. Has Roger changed his opinion since the CCC book was published?

      Like all fallible human beings with emotions clouding their mind, Penrose is also a human being. The degrees of freedom can be from theoretical physics multidimensional theory. Where else can higher degrees of freedom be derived from? If degrees of freedom derived from multidimensional theory are wrong, Penrose knows his CCC theory can be wrong. His fear of his credibility hanging on multidimensional theory from theoretical physics might have caused Penrose to over react knowing the weakness of CCC model. Degrees of freedom is that sore spot in CCC model. To me, Dark Matter is a change in the Higgs field between prior aeon and the subsequent aeon. Degrees of freedom are lowered. When the degrees of freedom are lowered, the lost degrees of freedom are converted into mass as change in energy is change in mass. Some mass is converted into real matter. Some mass is converted into dark matter. All depends on how this degrees of freedom change. Any mass having higher degrees of freedom than the real matter changes into dark matter.

      I may be wrong but gravitons are just the proposed photon equivalent of gravity. We have not yet experimentally proven if gravitons exist because we would require an experimental apparatus spanning a light year or some ridiculous distance (not sure what the distance is). So it will remain a theory for the foreseeable future. The part which makes sense though is comparing it with a photon. Gravitation waves travel at the speed of light, the cosmic speed limit. That means the information of space time is also travelling at that speed. So it makes sense that we should be able to quantize gravity just like we did for light or EM waves. What we can do with that knowledge, I don't know, but it could open up the possibility that every single thing in this universe is quantized. Except for whatever happens in between state transitions in fuzzy clouds of quantum mechanics. This will enable us to create a grand unified theory of everything which involves quantum mechanics and classical physics. But this is not something like inertia which doesn't need to be quantized, or rather you can quantize inertia with impulse and space-time itself, so you are incorrect about the need for 'inertion' or whatever.

      The "Standard Model" is just a model, like its name says. The concept of "particle" doesn't need to reflect objective reality, the true nature of which might be fundamentally unknowable. Modelling forces/fields as particles explains observations and can be used to make predictions. Physicists (the honest ones at least) see the writing on the wall, and know better models are needed, but until they're created, everything has to be framed in the context of models that currently exist.

    The book by Roger Penrose that he was trying to write for ten years is now written. In the last chapter he proposes an origin for dark matter. The proposal emerges from a simple picture for the Big Bang: It came out of the Big Crunch of the previous "aeon" of the universe. The two aeons are joined by a three-dimensional surface ("a moment in time") where light rays travel in straight lines and space-time is flat up to a scale factor whose sign flips as you cross the boundary into our aeon from the old one. Dark matter emerges (somehow) from that scale factor as does the mass of the elementary particles. The particle physics is not in the book, but this proposal for the origin of dark matter is.

      @@Desert_Person His explanation for the big bang is very interesting. Basically, at a certain point in the very, very distant future, when everything that could possibly be construed as a measuring device(by this he means anything that gives either time or space meaning - because if you think about it, in the absence of anything besides a single particle it woould be impossible to make sense of(ie. measure) time; and in the absence of anything more than a single particle it would be impossible to make sense of(ie. measure) space) has decayed, and all that's left is...well, nothing...at that 'point in time' the universe 'forgets' how old it is and how large it is, and can effectively be seen as a pre-big-bang universe. So we get a big bang all over again.
      Time and spatial size are thus relational properties: they only exist in so far as there are things - like clocks, or rulers - that also exist and which we can compare, and use to deduce time and size. Imagine a video of a billard table with balls knocking into one another. If there are enough of them on the table it's very easy to know, just by looking at the way they interact, how fast they're moving and which direction the recording is playing. If we reverse the tape it looks wrong - you have multiple balls converging on a single cue ball in a way that looks very strange
      But let's remove all the billiard balls except for one. And now run the tape of it bouncing around the table. It has become impossible to tell whether the tape is playing in reverse or forwards.
      Now let's go one step further - remove the table altogether, and just have the billiard ball moving in completely empty space, wih no stars as frames of reference, just complete black empty space. What does it even mean at that point to say that the ball is 'moving'? How could you say that time is passing given the absence of any other object against which to compare it? Just as importantly how could you measure the _size_ of the ball? How could you know whether it's a huge ball that's far away or a small ball up close? Remember, in this example the only thing that exists is the ball, so you can't go closer to the ball and pick it up and peer at it.
      This is what a relational concept of time and space is like, and it's not just that we can't measure the time passing or the size of the ball - it's that those concepts stop making sense. That's what's meant by the universe 'forgetting' what size it is and how old it is. And it's from that period of cosmological amnesia that a 'new' universe is born in a big bang.

      I am a physicist. I am not sure what you have mind..... In science we attach a probability to any theory. For example, we know that Newton Law, as far as the Solar system is concerned, is 99.9999% correct. So we teach it in high school like an established truth. If you compute the trajectory of Mars and it is nearly perfect. Mercury showed a little deviation even in the 19th century: Einstein theory explained that. To quote Clint Eastwood, we know our limitations in that case.
      Quantum Mechanics, applied to the Atom (electric forces in particular), is in the same category. So no chemist doubts it. Only crackpots. But things get more complex at higher energies.
      You need the standard model and then something better at even higher energy, ie, string theory or something else. (Higher energy also means more difficult/expensive to test).
      Now string theory is unfortunately closer to mathematical hypothesis. You can teach it but you cannot honestly call it an established physical theory. So indeed, it is mathematics.
      The problem is not the microscopic salary of the string theorists (a better investment to society than a Canadian moron who cannot spell his name pushing a hockey puck for 5 million $) but the large proposed experiments that some physicists view as misguided.

    The energy of vacuum calculated by our best models (QFT based) gives an energy about 60 orders of magnitudes above the measured, that indicate that our best present models are essentially wrong.
    The "Shut up and calculate" "gang" imposed their view in the physics community, anyone that would try to understand or question QM would be discouraged. So there exist the belief that QM is the "ultimate" possible model. But QM is a very limited theory: it
    doesn't even explain our classical world: we do not know exactly what and when a quantum phenomena provokes or becomes a classical one (our perceptual world is classical). So we need a theory that have both Quantum Physics and Classical Physics as limit cases: that should be the main focus of physics research. But no, we continue to develop over a not well understood model., that gives
    lots of infinities and crazy results, like the energy of vacuum. But instead of focus in designing experiments that could answer the most basic: how the quantum world generates the classical world, it is easiest to think in fantasies like dark matter or inflation etc.
    and to modify the infinity results with methods ad-hoc without any physical justification.

    Imagination - Process of Pure Creation
    The process of creation starts with thought
    - an idea, conception, visualization. Everything you see was once someone's idea. Nothing exists in your world that did not first exist as pure thought.
    This is true of the universe as well.
    Thought is the first level of creation.
    Next comes the word. Everything you say is a thought expressed. It is creative and sends forth creative energy into the universe. Words are more dynamic (thus, some might say more creative) than thought, because words are a different level of vibration from thought. They disrupt (change, alter, affect) the universe with greater impact.
    Words are the second level of creation.
    Next comes action.
    Actions are words moving. Words are thoughts expressed. Thoughts are ideas formed. Ideas are energies come together. Energies are forces released. Forces are elements existent. Elements are particles of God, portions of ALL, the stuff of everything.
    The beginning is God. The end is action. Action is God creating - or God experienced.
    Hang on. There's one thing more I have to tell you. You are always seeing what by your terms you would define as the "past," even when you are looking at what is right in front of you.
    I am?
    It is impossible to see The Present. The Present "happens," then turns into a burst of light, formed by energy dispersing, and that light reaches your receptors, your eyes, and it takes time for it to do that.
    All the while the light is reaching you, life is going on, moving forward. The next event is happening while the light from the last event is reaching you.
    The energy burst reaches your eyes, your receptors send that signal to your brain, which interprets the data and tells you what you are seeing. Yet that is not what is now in front of you at all. It is what you think you are seeing. That is, you are thinking about what you have seen, telling yourself what it is, and deciding what you are going to call it, while what is happening "now" is preceding your process, and awaiting it.
    To put this simply, I am always one step ahead of you.
    My God, this is unbelievable.
    Now listen. The more distance you place between your Self and the physical location of any event, the further into the "past" that event recedes. Place yourself a few light-years back, and what you are looking at happened very, very long ago, indeed.
    Yet it did not happen "long ago." It is merely physical distance which has created the illusion of "time," and allowed you to experience your Self as being both "here, now" all the while you are being "there, then"!
    One day you will see that what you call time and space are the same thing.
    Then you will see that everything is happening right here, right now.
    This is....this is....wild. I mean, I don't know what to make of all this.
    When you understand what I have told you, you will understand that nothing you see is real. You are seeing the image of what was once an event, yet even that image, that energy burst, is something you are interpreting. Your personal interpretation of that image is called your image-ination.
    And you can use your imagination to create anything. Because - and here is the greatest secret of all - your image-ination works both ways.
    Please?
    You not only interpret energy, you create it. Imagination is a function of your mind, which is one-third of your three-part being. In your mind you image something, and it begins to take physical form. The longer you image it (and the more OF you who image it), the more physical that form becomes, until the increasing energy you have given it literally bursts into light, flashing an image of itself into what you call your reality.
    You then "see" the image, and once again decide what it is. Thus, the cycle continues. This is what I have called The Process.
    This is what YOU ARE. You ARE this Process.
    This is what I have meant when I have said, you are both the Creator and the Created.
    I have now brought it all together for you. We are concluding this dialogue, and I have explained to you the mechanics of the universe, the secret of all life.
    Okay.
    Now as energy coalesced, it becomes, as I said, very concentrated. But the further one moves from the point of this concentration, the more dissipated the energy becomes. The "air becomes thinner." The aura fades. The energy never completely disappears, because it cannot. It is the stuff of which everything is made. It's All There Is. Yet it can become very, very thin, very subtle - almost "not there."
    Then, in another place (read that, another part of Itself) it can again coalesce, once more "clumping together" to form what you call matter, and what "looks like" a discreet unit. Now the two units appear separate from each other, and in truth there is no separation at all.
    This is, in very, very simple and elementary terms, the explanation behind the whole physical universe.
    Wow. But can it be true? How do I know I haven't just made this all up?
    Your scientists are already discovering that the building blocks of all of life are the same.
    They brought back rocks from the moon and found the same stuff they find in trees. They take apart a tree and find the same stuff they find in you.
    I tell you this: We are all the same stuff. (I and the Father are One Energy)
    We are the same energy, coalesced, compressed in different ways to create different forms and different matter.
    Nothing "matters" in and of itself. That is, nothing can become matter all by itself. Jesus said, "Without the Father, I am nothing." The Father of all is pure thought. This is the energy of life. This is what you have chosen to call Absolute Love.
    This is the God and the Goddess, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. It is the All-in-All, the Unmoved Mover, the Prime Source. It is that which you have sought to understand from the beginning of time. The Great Mystery, the Endless Enigma, the Eternal Truth.
    There is only One of Us, and so, it is THAT WHICH YOU ARE.

      Something extraordinarily simple and magnificent escapes our senses just for the simple fact that we do not yet have the necessary senses to identify it.

    Gravity is the repulsive force between time space - the 'ether' - and mass. Electromagnetic waves are ripples in time space - ie essentially variations in gravitational strength, size of space and rate of change of time. The closer space time is together the slower time goes and the smaller the spatial dimensions are. A gradient in space time produces a gravitational force. Mass displaces space time thus creating a gradient that produces gravity. Run with that.

    Most people don't know that Einstein said that singularities are not possible. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" he wrote "The essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (Schwarzchild was the first to raise the issue of General relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters whose particles move along circular paths it does seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light."
    He was referring to the phenomenon of dilation (sometimes called gamma or y) mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. This is illustrated in a common 2 axis dilation graph with velocity on the horizontal line and dilation on the vertical. This shows the squared nature of the phenomenon, dilation increases at an exponential rate the closer you get to the speed of light.
    General relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Einstein is known to have repeatedly spoken about this. Nobody believed in black holes when he was alive for this reason.
    Wherever there is an astronomical quantity of mass, dilation will occur because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy.
    According to Einstein's math, the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. In other words that mass is all around us. This is the explanation for the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies (the reason for the theory of dark matter) the missing mass is dilated mass.
    According to Einstein's math, there would be no dilation in galaxies with very, very low mass. To date, this has been confirmed with 5 very low mass galaxies all showing no signs of dark matter. In other words they have normal star rotation rates.
    This is virtual proof that dilation is the governing phenomenon in galactic centers, there can be no other realistic explanation for this fact.

    The cause of the problems is a fundamental misunderstanding of gravity. There is no real physical understanding of why gravity should be caused by inertia/mass. As Einstein almost figured out in 1911, the cause of gravity is the variation of the speed of light in a gravitational field. And this variation is not dependent on mass.
    Now, if we assume that every particle contributes equally to the gravitational field, then photons also contribute like other particles. With this assumption, the dark matter problem is fully explained. In the case of the rotation curves it fits even *quantitatively - without any adjustments of the parameters.

    I've been deeply concerned about the idea of dark matter for over 20 years now and the more I think about it, not only does the current hypothesis's make less and less sense, but there are other better testable hypothesis's that can solve these problems it encompasses. The primary one is there is much more space/time curvature than being put into the data. This has already been proven experimentally with the Gravity Probe B satellite that verified space/time drag from rotating masses. As far as I know, this data was never added to the gravitational affects of galaxy clusters, galaxy rotation or any other area where dark matter is being used as a " bandaid ". I never even knew about the GP-B sat or the experiments it performed until a few years back, but postulated this decades ago just by simply thinking about the Field Equation... there HAS to be a space/time drag, but what are the large scale consequences? This energy doesn't just magically disappear. Just to ignore such a thing would be putting out data that violates energy conservation laws.

    Its the fabric of the universe in multiples. An object in space displaces the fabric of the universe and causes this fabric to now be in multiples around said object. The more dense the object, the more the fabric of space is displaced. The more fabric if space displaced, the stronger gravity is.
    The fabric of the universe is constantly expanding. So when you have multiples of this fabric you get a higher rate of this expansion. Which equates to stronger gravity.

As for what fundamental particles, I think they're made of space-time itself, as vibrations in it(especially photons), or budded off pieces of vibrating space-time, after all E = MC2, so energy and matter is the same thing. Matter is just energy trapped in a piece of space-time, and the fundamental particles are the smalles pieces that can bud off, and indeed when we release them from their larger particle groups with a particle accellerator they quickly decay, spilling their energy, and no longer being a separated piece of space-time. Photons lack of mass is because they haven't budded off, so they can travel at the speed of causality through space-time itself.

      I always found some concepts strange.. and once had a big argument with a teacher about Pluto.. funny how things turned out on that one
      I seem to like logical process far more than most, and when math got abstract and complex I didn't want to go there. I learnt BASIC but when computing got very complex, that was it for me. Couldn't find anywhere near the time commitment needed to go through the process.. I knew it wasn't going to work out so I continued on as a wanderer.. trying to find my way and work out what the heck life was about.. popularity ? friends ? getting drunk ? parties ? girls ? all of the above ? apparently not.. and I led myself astray badly. As the great Prof. Feynman said, the easiest person to fool is yourself !
      Have been a gamer my entire life, my first strong memories are playing a car racing game where the cars were single pixel chunks at about 240x160 resolution. I played Doom etc etc.. then ended up getting very competitive in Quake and had my own method of muscle memory creation for mouse aiming, flick shots and more. I ended up mastering all the Q2DM1 trick jumps, many of them backwards including the triple circle jump in the mega health room.
      During my Quake 2 obsession (14hrs a night, every night, for YEARS) I found myself having fleeting moments of complete immersion where I was completely unaware of ANYTHING except the game. I WAS the game character and this is where moments of ridiculous performance came from. Being an 80s kid I am still addicted to refined sugar which makes focus very hard, hence the fleeting moments and short periods of precision gameplay.. HOLDING focus is far harder than attaining it. Meditation is extremely difficult for more than a while, I used to daydream in school sometimes, but that is rare now. The body is the greatest constraint we have, and finding time for exercise as a constant thinker is hard.. so I get sporadic performance at best.
      Despite being a washed up old gamer.. one night a few years ago I played some of my beloved Team Fortress 2 and had the most surreal competitive duel experience ever.. absolutely destroying a guy, rocket to feet, rocket, rocket, rocket, POP on the skybox.. and it felt like time was so slow and it was SO effortless.. I kept my focus as I heard him respawn, and rocket jump up to the platform.. and without even trying, again it felt so damn effortless and was like time repeated, popped him up, up, up splat again on the skybox.. then I realised he was going to call me a cheater.. ? appeared in the chat.. and the immersion was completely gone.
      VR is great, got an Oculus Dev Kit barely used. HAD to try the rollercoaster and a few things, got vertigo and loved it. It all makes sense when you have these moments of SELF immersion. You have to experience it to understand, but there are so many parallel types of experiences, such as THOUSAND YARD STARE that many low level programmer legends apparently used to do.. when asked some complicated question they would appear to switch off and were deep in thought.
      You can also explain INTUITION btw.. the iceberg deep compute.. a great lesson that never got old was if you can't solve a problem think about ANYTHING else, forget about it and later the answer will pop into your head... it works only if you don't have too tight a grip on that need to know.. maybe you could call that type of person.. hmm lets see...

Dark Matter as a theory is as popular as it is (certainly more than string theory) because it effectively accounts for more and explains more of what we understand more, and it does so in a very-simple way: dark matter needs only to be matter that is spread out and non-radiating (to explain why we as-yet cannot detect it) to fill a lot of gaps. That's entirely why it was hypothesised - to explain those gaps. But no one would be remotely shocked if it was eventually shown not to exist. String Theory the same. Of course it's hard to 'disprove' something that is as yet to be proved, because if you put the time and energy into it, it can be made to adapt. And maths alone of course is like magic - it can easily lead us astray.
    The world of Sting theory, though clever, is like a modular thing that expects something more from its critics each time it adapts, splits or grows. And even if it eventually checks all its own boxes, what then?
    It's interesting though for sure. But so is Roger Penrose.

    spatial space inflates to accommodate matter....imagine it like this, if you put a submarine under water it displaces the shape and volume of water equal to its displacement, if you remove it from the water, the water fills the void created by the submarine, sort of like a bubble in a bubble...for everything (EVERYTHING) there is a alpha and an omega and a reciprocate to each...matter, time and space are one, each variable is co-dependant on the other, if one of the variables is missing they are all missing...the questions that need to be answered are the mechanisation output/input versus what we observe...the spatial space we occupy now is concentrically revolving around a galactic core that is consuming all the matter under its gravimetric influence...when all the matter is gone the spatial space is flat in a 3D plane with a perfect vacuum as a result. Once the singularity at the galactic center begins to consume the matter it has to eject or output it else the universe would have collapsed / consumed itself a long time ago and you and I wouldn't be here...where does the initial matter come from? What creates the spatial space or a.k.a. dark matter they call it? These are questions like asking "Where or who made god?" We're going to be awhile yet before we answer these questions.

      A good cautionary example is Arthur Eddington's stubborn opposition to Chandrasekhar's model of neutron star collapse, just because he couldn't accept black holes could really exist (it would also threaten his own Theory of Everything he's been working on). Using his established position, he nearly ruined Chandrasekhar's career over this and delayed research into black holes by decades. Chandra turned out to be correct and received a Nobel Prize later in life.
      Obviously, in science you're always going to have disagreements and most theories will be wrong by default, but I think one should be wary of such confident, absolutist statements.

    People sleep on mono-charge physics and superfluid quantum mechanics, in my opinion. What Penrose is talking about is the distinction between reality and useful fictions, as well as talking about the useful/practical in physics and the lofty ideas of mathematics. These issues intersect at a place such that mono-charge physics and superfluid quantum mechanics provide a tidy, minimal assumptions, highly-intuitive (and, therefore, more in line with the common perception of reality for the average person), high-explanatory-scope explanation of the way things work in reality than most other competing ideas.
    Why mono-charge physics? It is a good candidate for an explanation of the way things work if one takes Ockham's Razor to modern interpretations of physics. It's also more in line with what the average person would expect with reality. Superfluid theory seems to do the same for quantum mechanics. I think that some combination of the two theories is bound to be true, or something similar to those theories. These would avoid positing extravagant explanations formed on the basis of lofty mathematical speculations.
    Furthermore, mathematics can be self-consistent, and even useful for physics, without actually describing reality. It's fun to play with Hilbert's Hotels, but who would take these as describing reality. Indeed, people like Hilbert and Schroedinger seemed to be trying to underscore the idea that mathematical ideas run amok can hinder an accurate view of reality.
    I'm a total layman, so I'm not certain about any of this, but I think that at least something in this direction is a more philosophically mature take on reality than is popular today.

    I agree. I corresponded with a quantum physicist who was ten years ahead of his time. Stuff he mentioned ten years ago is just now being talked about. He told me then that String Theory was bunk. It's an unprovable dead end. Physics has always depended on experiment but String Theory is designed, almost purposely, so no experiment is possible. Some people even think it was invented to keep physics retarded. Although I'm not sure what the agenda would be - but there sure are a lot of vile agendas these days.

Once you get too comfortable with what's familiar, you are far from reality into a world of comfort but lies. just my 2 cents.

      Sure, I mean if you look at this all circling back to Einstein and Michelson Morley, you clearly see there is an agenda at play to keep the truth down, and to push a narrative/agenda forward. If Michelson Morley shows the Earth is not moving, or moving far less than 66,000 miles or what have you, it destroys the entire model. Almost as if they said, "ok let's coin up a new theory with Special Relativity." Now fast forward to today, "ok let's coin up a new theory called String Theory" etc etc etc. Anything to keep the goal post moving away from the truth.
