People pushing any unification theory are crackpots.

>>10843733
yeah, another Garrett Lisi or John Hagelin type story. dropped

>>10843733
Except based Ed Witten.

>>10843677
A face like this is not indicative of intelligence. Watching him speak and reading his papers shows me he is a neurotic pseud with an IQ in the mid 120s.

>>10843778
>Garrett Lisi
How can you not love the guy, come on.

>>10843786
Phenotype posting is not indicative of high intelligence.

>>10843816
i mean, Garrett is cool, but his theory of everything was debunked right after his (admittely pretty good) TED talk, because it mathematically can't work to have three generations of chiral leptons, and yet he keeps trying to make his theory work by doing more and more handstands and ugly kludges even though at the beginning he wanted to call it "the exceptionally simple theory of everything" or whatever. clearly he fucked up at physics, didn't notice his error, published it and got famous, then got debunked, but he's trying desperately to undebunk himself because he makes money off it somehow, when really it's pathetic and he should have been a bro and been like "my bad, model was wrong, peace"

anyhow he was totally unqualified to work on high energy theory. he's a biophysics idiot who wrote his thesis on, literally, dolphins, pic related

Is he wearing a wig?

notice how he starts sounding like an sjw whenever the topic of israel comes up lol

>>10843733

This. Physics cannot be unified in our lifetimes, we simply dont have the funding for that. Even the most optimistic string theorists say it will 10,000 years of funding until their theory reaches a formal proof.

>>10843816

Garrett Lisi is a literal God. He hasnt worked a day in his life, and invents some napkin "TOE" so that it looks like he has actually done something with his life other than spend his families interest checks. His instagram is literally just one expensive vacation after the next. He is goals.

>>10844520
does he still live out of a van?

>>10844557

No he bought an expensive vacation house on a mountain using his family interest checks since he has never worked, and then he throws parties and calls them "research meetings". Its brilliant! We should all aspire to the kind of master-ship over the slave class that he has. He is literal goals

>>10844582

Nothing gives me a greater master-ship boner than when people living on interest generated by wage slaves, use their connections to get on TED etc... and make it look like they have actually done something with their lives other than live in luxury while others fallaciate their poor thinking. Literal goals.

>>10843677
He's delusional like all lefty jews. It's just anti-white male policy but they are upset it's leading to a shitty world dominated by china now

>>10843677
>This is a man that became public for
talking about my MCM theory as if it was his own Geometric Unity theory.

>>10843786
agreed

He most likely got kicked out of his PhD program, just because he couldn't crack high gauge theory.

>>10844631
Based retard

>>10844646
no, he got his PhD and then sold out to work in finance.

>>10844656
Ah, I see

>>10844520
are you retarded, that's a shitpile of a life, why do you idolize time not spent to do something exceptional

>>10844514
>This. Physics cannot be unified in our lifetimes, we simply dont have the funding for that. Even the most optimistic string theorists say it will 10,000 years of funding until their theory reaches a formal proof.

Formal proof? String theory is a research program that is showing many of the signs of just failing as an attempt to build a theory of physics.

Kek

>>10844708
that user was a trolling brainlet. at the Strings 2018 conference, Veneziano (the true founder of string theory) estimated 50 years until string theory is mature enough to describe the standard model plus gravity

>>10844721

I wouldn't be surprised if it will only ever be able to describe the standard model plus gravity in the same way that SU(5) describes the standard model i.e. it will always have to introduce additional extra crap that will be inconsistent with the observational facts of the universe we live in.

>>10844745
it could turn out that way, string theory is still poorly understood, but if it did then string theory proper would be just as dead as SU(5) theories are now. i mean, SU(5) is not realistic because it contradicts proton decay experiments etc., but people still use it as a toy model and things can be learned from it. so string theory might go that way. but at the moment, there are tons of ways to make string theory give us something consistent with the standard model of particle physics (the cosmological model is the bigger stumbling block right now), but "tons of ways" is bad because there is no way to know which generalization of the standard model ST actually points to, since it can point to bazillions of different possibilities as far as we understand it now. the hope is that they can narrow it down to something more unique. alternatively some people have given up and just say "anthropic principle, haha! we see what we see because we're here but string theory allows a lot of other possible scenarios" but i personally hate that idea

>>10844646
>>10844656
>>10844660
I heard he got shafted during his PhD thesis then years later someone wrote a paper on the same stuff as him and got a bunch of attention.
It was something about topological gauge theory.

3:02:03 if the link doesn't start there.

I think he's a bit jaded towards the academic community.

>>10845197
well he went into industry doing finance shit right out of his PhD. probably never even applied for postdocs. if his advisor had a new student follow up on his work then that’s totally expected if the one guy to work on it decided to go be a salary whore instead of forwarding science

>>10843677
Not science or math. Are you >>>/pol/shits even capable of not processing anything through your identity-driven insecurities?

>>10844721

Can you explain to me why these people deserve 50 years of prosperity for this nonsense?

>>10844721

This guy wants 50 years of prosperity on our dollar for literal nonsense and cannot even make an engaging power point slide. Meanwhile dudes are unifying physics in their mother fucking free time with ZERO funding.

>>10843677

there is no such thing as a reasonable left-wing position, anon.

ayy cool anon, new assistance professor where im at is a physics PhD who did a post-doc in a bio lab and fell in love with it, his projects are fucking insanely interesting, coming at biology with a physics perspective. You have a lot of creative room with your physics knowledge applied to biological systems.

>>10847285
His opinions are "left wing" in any normal sense of the word (by which I mean the views of people around 2005).

Technically almost nobody is left (as in anti-autoritarian or Lenninist), all ends of the spectrum want to force authority

Unified physics is absurdly simple in hindsight, as simple as evolution in hindsight. Dont believe? follow the steps, its easier than a line dance.

We know that mass = energy, right? Thats why a cheese burger allows you to move. Cool! Mass = energy. And electromagnetism and nuclear forces also equal energy. So far, very simple.

And this energy has location, so space also exists. Okay, energy and space. What about time? Well, time is just a ratio of energy (mass) and space. Dont believe it? Try and define 1 second as deeply as possible without referring to the movement of planets or particle decay and you will see, time is just a ratio of movement.

Okay so the universe has energy and space... what about gravity? We'll get to that, but first, what else do we know about the Universe?

Well, the Universe is symetrical, forces act equally in all directions. Its also local: A baseball does not travel from mound to catchers mit, it travels every step inbetween: locality. We also know that the universe is consistent, the laws are the same everywhere. We also know that energy has different levels, its essentially quantized and it must be conserved. We know that interaction is real, things interact. Also, everything happens at once, the Universe is simultanious like an automaton, not sequential.

Local, symetrical, consistent, energy, space, conservation, interaction, simultanious...

We can plot all of that on an automaton with real numbers representing quantized energy that interacts with its neighbors... but what is the operation between neighbors? Well, it must be division since that is the only operation that conserves the total energy levels!

Okay, so lets put real numers on a grid and divide every number with its neighbor simultaniously... what happens?

Well, we dont have to ask, because we've done it! And you can clearly see ripples, vector fields, even particles!!!!! And those particles attract!!!! Aka Gravity!!!

So did Garys and he unified physics. So did Hopsins and hes the most gifted rapper of his generation.

>$70k at best unless you're in a major city, then slightly over 100k if you're lucky.
In biotech/big pharma? PhD --> post-doc starting in low-100s not unreasonable. Jobs are pretty much concentrated in SF, Boston, New Jersey San Diego. Some action in second-tier/third-tier biotech hubs, Research Triangle (North Carolina), Philadelphia, DC-Maryland-Northern VA, Austin. My plan is to go for smaller biotech hubs. Riskier because smaller markets, but more affordable.

>>10847200
Thanks for encouragement, anon. Doing post-doc in structural biology, with some biophysics/chemical biology. Aim to rack up some good pubs + networking can get decent job in biotech or pharma.

>>10847285
Nothing but controlled-opposition retards. Harris voted Hillary.

>Wrong
>> unified theory should tell use why gravity is weaker then em

You can literally see why gravity is weak in the Optimum Automaton.. But I can see you are really into your complex 8 year, $100,000 explanation that still doesm't tell u. And that's A-Okay! It's kind of like The Giver, ya know? Understanding the truth is not for everyone. Take care!

>>10849675
>>10849957

I'm sorry... That was kind of a dickhead reply. Look. you can literally see why gravity happens in the automaton, and it comes out of the equation as well. Deriving gravity equations from the unified equation is stupidly simple.
