Eric mentions the political economy of the field, and that is something important and that many people forget about. The massive amount of support for basic science in the US is a result of the Manhattan Project. Heck, when I was a young physics student working at a paid job in High Energy Physics, my paychecks were from the Atomic Energy Commission. The idea was that, with the Manhattan Project, we had been able to harness basic science for military purposes. Then we were able to harness basic science for energy generation. That is what drives the funding. String theorists have put a dent in that. Bad, not good.

I really respect Brian Greene, but winced when he said on his podcast that string theory was not experimentally testable and that that didn't really matter. His guest was a Nobel prize winner - and the guy politely told Brian that he was wrong.
Probably an eloberate scam to hinder the progress of physics. I appreciate that it has been beneficial to fields of mathematics, but I think it should be treated as nothing more than a tool to approach mathematical problems, not physics until it has made testable predictions.
Better to state attacks than destroys. There is little more than ad hominem in that diatribe. I'm not saying he's wrong, but that clip hardly contributes to any discussion.
Great segment..! How in the hell can a human speak with such a rapid continuity while SIMULTANEOUSLY (and masterfully) inter-weaving metaphors, insightful parallels, and comic relief ALL in a SINGLE uninterrupted stream..?? Great stuff..
He is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him k*** three men in a bar... with a pencil, with a fukin pencil.
I respect Eric and I listen to his talks very often. What he says in this video is right, but he has to admit that in the Joe Rogan Podcast with Terrence Howard, he commited 20 to 30% of the the things he pointed out!
Please have on Timothy Nguyen and Eric Weinstein for a discussion on Eric’s Geometric Unity (GU) theory. Timothy has reviewed it but sadly, Eric is unwilling to engage. Eric loves to give the illusion his ideas are ignored because he’s an outsider. I heard Eric say to Brian Greene, “I bet you haven’t even reviewed my paper” in a discussion about String Theory. Well, Eric.. Timothy has read your paper. Have a chat 🤷🏻♀️
Experiment how? We will reach 10^19 GeV in about 7 thousand years or maybe in 1 million years. Our LHC reaches ~10^4 GeV at maximum with the recent upgrade.
@@____uncompetative No offense, but Dr Keating would be able to moderate the conversation way better than Joe Rogan. Joe might have a bigger platform, but he has a surface level understanding of physics and probably less mathematical knowledge.
@@K24_ej1 Nobel Laureate Sir Roger Penrose has said that "String Theory isn't physics." Joe Rogan commentates on Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts and has already had Penrose on as a guest. By having Rogan there it would ensure that the discussion suited a non technical mainstream audience. This is why I would recommend Penrose over Weinstein. Joe is also happy to let his guest talk if the conversation is flowing well, which is a rare skill as most hosts intrude on the conversation because they don't want people to forget it is their show. I'd like to see Weinstein explain _Geometric Unity_ to Tim Dillon on _The Joe Rogan Experience_ if Dillion is interested. Terrance Howard was interested in learning about Weinstein's work, but I think he is too "hyper" to be a good listener, and would benefit more from letting Dillon ask grounded questions about Weinstein's speculative work in progress and Howard could watch the end result like the rest of us. I say this as someone who gave my summary of _Geometric Unity_ for the layman to Eric Weinstein in three minutes when he phoned me up and he didn't think I had misrepresented his work.
If you had Ed Witten present, he would object strongly to such talks. Yes, he would agree we need more testing to verify string theory, but all the math is pointing in the right direction.
The inspiration to string theory is a religious one. The bible and the Thora explain that God's words brought The World into existence. Kabbalists point out that God needed vocal cords for this. The strings of string theory are reminiscent of the vocal cords that vibrate. By financing string theory, the public lets de facto clerics think in a very well-paid physics setting about their religion. It' absurd.
@@JaredFarrer he's the guy that knows a lot about everything that's happening in science and pieces everything together. The Frontline guy of the scientific community.
You need an established theory in place before you amend it, example being Newton classical gravity plus Einstein gravity to plot space probe missions. Amending an endless string of unproven math is akin to an endless stack of turtles. The first iteration should have been tossed not endlessly tweaked. Physics has become a hollywood shaggy dog story. Politics, posturing, battle of personalties, wokism, BS'ing to fill empty air in the quest for the TOE.... let's first test some of what was predicted back in the early '70's? Theory has gone into the weeds. CERN has shown that string theory is very weedy.
I can boil Eric's argument down to two words: *_Tyranny sucks._* Then he provides examples in two areas: 1. Theoretical physics, commandeered by string "theory" (which actually lacks even the minimum detectable empirical corroboration to qualify it as a theory), and 2. The massive institutionalized fraud into which the U.S. Democrat party has evolved. I have never known anyone who thinks Eric's argument is wrong who wasn't an insufferable smart ass, immune to facts or reason.
Brian I just watch the Piers Morgan debate and I really didn't like that Eric was so defensive towards your position to defend your education and background as a scientist! Honestly Eric was beating a deadhorse with is date and times, and I could tell if you defended yourself things would have escalated. Eric defending Terrance is as comical as his idea that there is a threat on what is true and what is not true! Terrance needs to get off his high horse, that horse is dead as well.
“ you have a complete way of thinking which is completely foreign to anybody I know “ “stop teaching” Are not defences of terrences stupid ideas at all. He just was nice enough to see if it was possible to steel man anything terrance was saying - and the answer was no. But he did bring some cool shapes with him
Eric inverted his morals to defeat Terrance and did EXACTLY what Harvard did to him. That was Eric admitting defeat while saving face, YOURE NOT A PHYSICIST OR MATHEMATICIAN, ARE YOU? -Theoretical Mathematical Physicist and Number Theorist (PhDs)
@@Nah_Bohdi Perhaps it was therapy for Eric ? My main complaint about Eric is that he's trying to give Terrance the benefit of the doubt in the scientific field!?? That in itself is ridiculous, there are far, far, far more intelligent people in science that never get the time of day! Terrance not only gets the time of day, he also gets a chance to explain is insane diary to the world!! He gets a PHd, Harvard Graduate Mathematician to critique his idea's...and he also gets to go on Joe Rogan twice and get a million hits on the video, because you people are ready for the Terrance Howard paradigm shift towards idiocracy!
String theorists are in the year 3024 in the 10th dimension while quantum mechanics is in the year 2024 in the 30th dimension. That's why string theorists think they got so far.
also damn I've said this before but sometimes eric can be like unintelligible about mathematic concepts (though I'm not smart enough to tell if the obfuscation is intentional or accidental or somewhere in between) he can go on an actual RIP sometimes haha
What could be more dishonest and obnoxious than a guy railing against people dismissing his theories without due respect, while he dismisses experts like Milton Friedman without giving them due respect? I am a huge fan of his brother, but Eric is among the most disappointing voices these days for me.
I think there is a way to interpret string theory. It is to say that open-strings represent radiation and possess hyperbolic pde behaviour. Closed-strings then represents matter/gravity with elliptic pde behaviour- wherein we have circulation and no propagation. Since the world is made from radiation and matter, string theory becomes a theory of everything if rules can be stated on how to transform between the two types of strings- that is radiation-matter interactions.
I like the guy and watch interviews of his. I've watched Sabine throw down on string theory. But, I like the concept of string theory. But, it's unproven, and guys like Erick here believe in other theories and would like some more funding for his groups pet theories. He's mad because he believes it's unfair, and he's upset with the string theorists who are fighting to keep or even expand their funding. All brilliant people, but the lack of funding can make some people.....not so pleasant. But, I do agree with Eric that it is unfair, until a theory is proven by experimentation, it's just a theory. Maybe Eric's group is on the path to the true answer?
@@mrbamfo5000 Erik does not have a lab and that’s the problem. He should have a Lab on independent funding. Most of the labs that I have worked with as an organic chemist are funded by pharmaceutical companies. My point there are alternative funding sources.
@@ftmrivas3043at this point, Eric has plenty of money if he wants to fund his research or big enough platform to draw attention to his research.

String Theory appears to be a ridiculously complex panacea, while the Standard Model is dominated by useless junk matter / temporary field distortions topped off with made up fudge (quarks, Higgs field, W & Z 'bosons' as a 'weak force carrier' and probably neutrinos).. Lost in math.. take a step back... Why is the Neutron/Proton Mass almost exactly halfway between Muon and Tau? -- POLECTRON FIELD: cell: a + & a - particle split by Full Split Energy as a positron+ & electron-. Bonds to 12 neighbours MATTER: p+ / e- = half cell (& a cell as +-+ / -+-)? Polarises field as + & - shells. SPIN: centre polarisation axis LECKY: absolute charge. MASS: particle lecky. INERTIA: rebalancing field kicks mass. STRONG GRAVITY: field repels mass MOND: lecky density slows acceleration/TIME and shrinks cells, loss to gravity gradients grows voids, aids acceleration BIG BANG: more proton-antiproton pairs malformed as proton-muon than antiproton-antimuon so hydrogen beat antihydrogen POSITRONIUM: e_p. Muon: ep_e. Proton: pep. Neutron: pep_e. Tau: epep_e. Neutron mass is halfway between muon and tau ANTIMATTER: 1,2 e_p pairs annihilate. 3: proton+anti proton or muon+anti muon. 4: neutron+anti neutron. 5: tau+anti tau WEAK FORCE: unstable atoms form and annihilate e_p pairs. BETA- DECAY: pep_e => pep e. BETA+: pep + new e_p => pep_e p NUCLEAR FORCE: neutron electrons bond to protons. ENTANGLEMENT: correlation broken by interaction? Physical link? BLACK HOLE: atoms cut into neutrons fused as higher mass tau cores (epep). Field rotates. Core annihilates: ep => cell? PHOTON: cell polarisation/lateral shift wave. LONGITUDINAL WAVE: gravitational wave, neutrino: 1 to 3 cell wave DOUBLE SLIT: photon/particle field warps diffract and interfere, guiding the core. Detectors interfere with guides COMPLEXITY: Closed system complexity reduces over time. Uniformly (dis)ordered (hot)/cold field is simplest
It is extremely simple to understand these are one-dimensional string membranes that are destroyed by The Singularity of a black hole and once this happens they are in a state in between 0 and 1 dimensional this creates Dark Matter coming out of black holes and what is considered non baryonic matter. This is the counterforce to the expansion of the universe. We don't we do not live in a 3 + 1 System One of the most important things that I recently came to conclude is that I have came up with a system to prove that we live in an infinite Multiverse. I will state it here and now. So if we follow the logical progression of the spatial Dimensions infinite zero-dimensional existence can stack into any size one dimensional existence and infinite one-dimensional existence can stack into any size two-dimensional existence and infinite two-dimensional existence can stack into any size three-dimensional existence so if we follow this logical progression we can conclude that infinite three-dimensional existence can stack into any size four dimensional existence. This means if we don't live in a 3 + 1 System we should observe the relative state or shape of the universe as flat or compressed in a non evenly distributed matter and basically we should observe a stacked effect of three-dimensional existence which would make a relatively flat universe or at least a universe in a distribution matter that is non spherical and evenly distributed... so because of this we can conclude that we are not the fundamental highest spatial Dimension and that a fourth spatial Dimension must exist and if so then infinite three-dimensional Universal potentiality can stack into any size four dimensional existence so ultimately this proves a Multiverse. Just remember infinite three-dimensional Universal potentiality can stack into any size four dimensional existence... this means that because the observed state of the universe is flat or non evenly distributed in a spherical manner then this means there is extra dimensional influence compressing the state making it stack and if a fourth spatial Dimension exists then a infinite Multiverse must exist and the stack ability must exist therefore this observed phenomenon means that a fourth spatial Dimension must exist making a infinite three-dimensional Multiverse the standard Norm...
after watching eric give terrance howard non stop participation awards and not just completely tearing apart every bit of nonsense, I have a pretty low opinion of him and anything he says
Whew. I thought he was talking about me being obnoxious. Although I realized he weren’t talking about me with the dishonesty thing. I too stupid to be dishonest. Now I can’t remember so it’s to hard to be dishonest. I ditched string theory in the 1980s. I didn’t realize it was a thing in physics. I like music. I like strings.

@@MitchellPorter2025 I’ll look him up! I am not sold on MOND yet, but perhaps that is because the formulation isn’t fully fleshed out yet? Is that the way gravity actually works or are we just building a formula to fit the data? That’s fine, as that would be like Schrodinger’s ewuatiin, but we need to be clear that is what we are doing.
He said the problem is not string theory. Somehow everyone in the comments thinks he said string theory is the problem. Still the only consistent quantum gravity theory.
Why can we not see Timothy Nguyen be given a chance by Eric to have a chat? Eric has been shouting for years for someone to take his work seriously. Now finally somebody did he won’t give him a chance to talk? RUclips Timothy Nguyen and Eric Weinstein and you can hear his side of the story. My feeling is Eric is a pure hypocrite and would rather parade as a genius talking about the same complicated topics over and over again to the lay person.

What do the Twistors of Roger Penrose and the Geometric Unity of Eric Weinstein and the exploration of one extra spatial dimension by Lisa Randall and the "Belt Trick" of Paul Dirac have in common? Is there a link to the "Vortex Theory" proposed by Maxwell and others during the 19th century, even though the concept of the "ether" has been abandoned? In Spinors it takes two complete turns to get down the "rabbit hole" (Alpha Funnel 3D--->4D) to produce one twist cycle (1 Quantum unit). Can both Matter and Energy be described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature? (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Mass= 1/Length, with each twist cycle of the 4D Hypertube proportional to Planck’s Constant. In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137. 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted. The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.) If quarks have not been isolated and gluons have not been isolated, how do we know they are not parts of the same thing? The tentacles of an octopus and the body of an octopus are parts of the same creature. Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. The "Color Force" is a consequence of the XYZ orientation entanglement of the twisted tubules. The two twisted tubule entanglement of Mesons is not stable and unwinds. It takes the entanglement of three twisted tubules to produce the stable proton.
The only real problem I have with string theory is, at least at this point in time, it's basically un-testable. We dont have any ideas on how the theory could be tested, let alone the means to test it. So it's like a supreme being. How are you gonna prove he exists if he fails to show himself? It's fun imagining that they're may be an infinite amount of copies of you, based on all the quantum decisions you've made in your life. But, there's no way to prove it, and it doesn't change anything here. So yes, they should put funds into other work also, or you could spend decades not researching other theories and find out string theory is incorrect. Them not finding the symmetrical particles they were predicting is a red flag, which should have at least cooled them down a little. They say they need even bigger colliders, but my guess is they were in on setting specifications for Cern. So yes, I wouldn't cancel all their funding, but I would trim them back and fund other avenues better.
That's the vibe I always had but you know when sandwiched between a rock and a hard place...... When you done have the right blue prints but do have the right tools, you can still build something that is beautiful .

Brian, if you see this, I would question your channel manager. Most popular channels have a separate clips channel because it's a different form of content than your main content. Even if all 9000 viewers were brand new eyes, they will go to your channel and find different content. This also helps grow your main channel because clips channels can post the content to tiktok, etc. and build their own viewerships. So on top of not doing this, you're posting old content. Old content doesn't help a channel get picked up by the algorithm because most of your viewers recognize this, have seen the content already, and skip over it so you're basically making it impossible for the algorithm to pick it up and most importantly making your main core audience upset because they want to see new content. This reduces the likelihood of your core audience to click a video. This is the opposite of the game you want to play, because you need to make sure the people that already come to you come back, ON TOP of also gaining new eyes. It's not a big deal to me but as someone who wants to see you grow, I hope you figure this out eventually and get a good RUclips manager

A hypothesis with methods that reduce expense
I have come up with a hypothesis that could fundamentally reduce the expense of doing high energy particle physics. The concept that there is a duality between relativistic speed particles with mass and extremely cold particles with mass near absolute zero could reduce the expense of doing high energy particle physics. The correlation between relativistic speed particles with mass and particles with mass at temperature is very close to absolute zero is that through Lorentz transformations they can be seen as the same speed. If we could use cryogenic technology, possibly employing quantum tunneling to cool down hydrogen, nuclei or helium atoms to temperatures very close to absolute zero they would behave like particles that are accelerated near the speed of light thus drastically reducing the cost of high energy particle physics.
"An aspect of Q-Anon in particle physics..." is the best way to explain what is wrong with String Theory.

These strings are literally unprovable. They dont exist.
I really respect Brian Greene, but winced when he said on his podcast that string theory was not experimentally testable and that that didn't really matter. His guest was a Nobel prize winner - and the guy politely told Brian that he was wrong.
That’s why they call them theories
@@randyb726 Yes theory, but not scientific theory.
@randyb726 not testable = not science
Probably an eloberate scam to hinder the progress of physics. I appreciate that it has been beneficial to fields of mathematics, but I think it should be treated as nothing more than a tool to approach mathematical problems, not physics until it has made testable predictions.
Better to state attacks than destroys. There is little more than ad hominem in that diatribe. I'm not saying he's wrong, but that clip hardly contributes to any discussion.

Please have on Timothy Nguyen and Eric Weinstein for a discussion on Eric’s Geometric Unity (GU) theory. Timothy has reviewed it but sadly, Eric is unwilling to engage. Eric loves to give the illusion his ideas are ignored because he’s an outsider. I heard Eric say to Brian Greene, “I bet you haven’t even reviewed my paper” in a discussion about String Theory. Well, Eric.. Timothy has read your paper. Have a chat 🤷🏻♀️
Agreed. Eric really needs to address this. Timothy has very valid arguments against GU.
Physicists have been playing mathematical metaphysics for decades now, and yet we a priori analytic philosophers still receive a bad wrap. Love it!

@@____uncompetative No offense, but Dr Keating would be able to moderate the conversation way better than Joe Rogan. Joe might have a bigger platform, but he has a surface level understanding of physics and probably less mathematical knowledge.
@@K24_ej1 Nobel Laureate Sir Roger Penrose has said that "String Theory isn't physics." Joe Rogan commentates on Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts and has already had Penrose on as a guest. By having Rogan there it would ensure that the discussion suited a non technical mainstream audience. This is why I would recommend Penrose over Weinstein. Joe is also happy to let his guest talk if the conversation is flowing well, which is a rare skill as most hosts intrude on the conversation because they don't want people to forget it is their show. I'd like to see Weinstein explain _Geometric Unity_ to Tim Dillon on _The Joe Rogan Experience_ if Dillion is interested. Terrance Howard was interested in learning about Weinstein's work, but I think he is too "hyper" to be a good listener, and would benefit more from letting Dillon ask grounded questions about Weinstein's speculative work in progress and Howard could watch the end result like the rest of us.
I say this as someone who gave my summary of _Geometric Unity_ for the layman to Eric Weinstein in three minutes when he phoned me up and he didn't think I had misrepresented his work.
@@K24_ej1 but Rogan has the viewership, a much bigger turnout to watch
The problem with ST is this: It is assumed by practitioners to be the bottom layer of the ontological onion which it cannot be.
If you had Ed Witten present, he would object strongly to such talks. Yes, he would agree we need more testing to verify string theory, but all the math is pointing in the right direction.
The inspiration to string theory is a religious one. The bible and the Thora explain that God's words brought The World into existence. Kabbalists point out that God needed vocal cords for this. The strings of string theory are reminiscent of the vocal cords that vibrate.
By financing string theory, the public lets de facto clerics think in a very well-paid physics setting about their religion. It' absurd.

You expose your lack of knowledge of his work with that comment.

Why is Jeff Ross talking about physics? Was he brought on to roast String Theory?
Verbal ping pong pang mastery how can he spit so many beautifully framed facts so quick without reading from a powerpoint
You need an established theory in place before you amend it, example being Newton classical gravity plus Einstein gravity to plot space probe missions. Amending an endless string of unproven math is akin to an endless stack of turtles. The first iteration should have been tossed not endlessly tweaked. Physics has become a hollywood shaggy dog story. Politics, posturing, battle of personalties, wokism, BS'ing to fill empty air in the quest for the TOE.... let's first test some of what was predicted back in the early '70's? Theory has gone into the weeds.
CERN has shown that string theory is very weedy.
I can boil Eric's argument down to two words: *_Tyranny sucks._* Then he provides examples in two areas: 1. Theoretical physics, commandeered by string "theory" (which actually lacks even the minimum detectable empirical corroboration to qualify it as a theory), and 2. The massive institutionalized fraud into which the U.S. Democrat party has evolved. I have never known anyone who thinks Eric's argument is wrong who wasn't an insufferable smart ass, immune to facts or reason.
Brian I just watch the Piers Morgan debate and I really didn't like that Eric was so defensive towards your position to defend your education and background as a scientist! Honestly Eric was beating a deadhorse with is date and times, and I could tell if you defended yourself things would have escalated.
Eric defending Terrance is as comical as his idea that there is a threat on what is true and what is not true! Terrance needs to get off his high horse, that horse is dead as well.
“ you have a complete way of thinking which is completely foreign to anybody I know “ “stop teaching” Are not defences of terrences stupid ideas at all. He just was nice enough to see if it was possible to steel man anything terrance was saying - and the answer was no. But he did bring some cool shapes with him
Eric inverted his morals to defeat Terrance and did EXACTLY what Harvard did to him.
That was Eric admitting defeat while saving face, YOURE NOT A PHYSICIST OR MATHEMATICIAN, ARE YOU?

@@Nah_Bohdi Perhaps it was therapy for Eric ? My main complaint about Eric is that he's trying to give Terrance the benefit of the doubt in the scientific field!??
That in itself is ridiculous, there are far, far, far more intelligent people in science that never get the time of day!
Terrance not only gets the time of day, he also gets a chance to explain is insane diary to the world!!
He gets a PHd, Harvard Graduate Mathematician to critique his idea's...and he also gets to go on Joe Rogan twice and get a million hits on the video, because you people are ready for the Terrance Howard paradigm shift towards idiocracy!
String theorists are in the year 3024 in the 10th dimension while quantum mechanics is in the year 2024 in the 30th dimension. That's why string theorists think they got so far.
eric is such a fun mix of intellects, like hes a lot more on the level then i expect a guy with a major math and academic background
also damn I've said this before but sometimes eric can be like unintelligible about mathematic concepts (though I'm not smart enough to tell if the obfuscation is intentional or accidental or somewhere in between) he can go on an actual RIP sometimes haha
What could be more dishonest and obnoxious than a guy railing against people dismissing his theories without due respect, while he dismisses experts like Milton Friedman without giving them due respect? I am a huge fan of his brother, but Eric is among the most disappointing voices these days for me.
I think there is a way to interpret string theory. It is to say that open-strings represent radiation and possess hyperbolic pde behaviour. Closed-strings then represents matter/gravity with elliptic pde behaviour- wherein we have circulation and no propagation. Since the world is made from radiation and matter, string theory becomes a theory of everything if rules can be stated on how to transform between the two types of strings- that is radiation-matter interactions.
Well, now you know what thinkers from outside of academia have had to endure 😂
Congratulations, Eric, on being willing to push the issue :)
Eric: "Defering the ultimate Tango with reality" love it.
Erics NOT abnoxious love the guys mind
I think quantum gravity is what we should be spending our resources on not string theory
This is my favorite thing to watch Weinstein mock string theory
I like the guy and watch interviews of his.
I've watched Sabine throw down on string theory.
But, I like the concept of string theory.
But, it's unproven, and guys like Erick here believe in other theories and would like some more funding for his groups pet theories.
He's mad because he believes it's unfair, and he's upset with the string theorists who are fighting to keep or even expand their funding.
All brilliant people, but the lack of funding can make some people.....not so pleasant.
But, I do agree with Eric that it is unfair, until a theory is proven by experimentation, it's just a theory. Maybe Eric's group is on the path to the true answer?

String Theory appears to be a ridiculously complex panacea, while the Standard Model is dominated by useless junk matter / temporary field distortions topped off with made up fudge (quarks, Higgs field, W & Z 'bosons' as a 'weak force carrier' and probably neutrinos).. Lost in math.. take a step back... Why is the Neutron/Proton Mass almost exactly halfway between Muon and Tau?
--
POLECTRON FIELD: cell: a + & a - particle split by Full Split Energy as a positron+ & electron-. Bonds to 12 neighbours
MATTER: p+ / e- = half cell (& a cell as +-+ / -+-)? Polarises field as + & - shells. SPIN: centre polarisation axis
LECKY: absolute charge. MASS: particle lecky. INERTIA: rebalancing field kicks mass. STRONG GRAVITY: field repels mass
MOND: lecky density slows acceleration/TIME and shrinks cells, loss to gravity gradients grows voids, aids acceleration
BIG BANG: more proton-antiproton pairs malformed as proton-muon than antiproton-antimuon so hydrogen beat antihydrogen
POSITRONIUM: e_p. Muon: ep_e. Proton: pep. Neutron: pep_e. Tau: epep_e. Neutron mass is halfway between muon and tau
ANTIMATTER: 1,2 e_p pairs annihilate. 3: proton+anti proton or muon+anti muon. 4: neutron+anti neutron. 5: tau+anti tau
WEAK FORCE: unstable atoms form and annihilate e_p pairs. BETA- DECAY: pep_e => pep e. BETA+: pep + new e_p => pep_e p
NUCLEAR FORCE: neutron electrons bond to protons. ENTANGLEMENT: correlation broken by interaction? Physical link?
BLACK HOLE: atoms cut into neutrons fused as higher mass tau cores (epep). Field rotates. Core annihilates: ep => cell?
PHOTON: cell polarisation/lateral shift wave. LONGITUDINAL WAVE: gravitational wave, neutrino: 1 to 3 cell wave
DOUBLE SLIT: photon/particle field warps diffract and interfere, guiding the core. Detectors interfere with guides
COMPLEXITY: Closed system complexity reduces over time. Uniformly (dis)ordered (hot)/cold field is simplest
It is extremely simple to understand these are one-dimensional string membranes that are destroyed by The Singularity of a black hole and once this happens they are in a state in between 0 and 1 dimensional this creates Dark Matter coming out of black holes and what is considered non baryonic matter. This is the counterforce to the expansion of the universe. We don't we do not live in a 3 + 1 System One of the most important things that I recently came to conclude is that I have came up with a system to prove that we live in an infinite Multiverse. I will state it here and now. So if we follow the logical progression of the spatial Dimensions infinite zero-dimensional existence can stack into any size one dimensional existence and infinite one-dimensional existence can stack into any size two-dimensional existence and infinite two-dimensional existence can stack into any size three-dimensional existence so if we follow this logical progression we can conclude that infinite three-dimensional existence can stack into any size four dimensional existence. This means if we don't live in a 3 + 1 System we should observe the relative state or shape of the universe as flat or compressed in a non evenly distributed matter and basically we should observe a stacked effect of three-dimensional existence which would make a relatively flat universe or at least a universe in a distribution matter that is non spherical and evenly distributed... so because of this we can conclude that we are not the fundamental highest spatial Dimension and that a fourth spatial Dimension must exist and if so then infinite three-dimensional Universal potentiality can stack into any size four dimensional existence so ultimately this proves a Multiverse. Just remember infinite three-dimensional Universal potentiality can stack into any size four dimensional existence... this means that because the observed state of the universe is flat or non evenly distributed in a spherical manner then this means there is extra dimensional influence compressing the state making it stack and if a fourth spatial Dimension exists then a infinite Multiverse must exist and the stack ability must exist therefore this observed phenomenon means that a fourth spatial Dimension must exist making a infinite three-dimensional Multiverse the standard Norm...
I'm not a scientist, but I have always thought string theory seemed off. But, I do believe it led to other useful discoveries.
Enough now, Brian, enough.

I wish Eric could bring examples with concise points, like analyzing a research paper and pointing out the particular flaws he is verbally referencing.
What do the Twistors of Roger Penrose and the Geometric Unity of Eric Weinstein and the exploration of one extra spatial dimension by Lisa Randall and the "Belt Trick" of Paul Dirac have in common? Is there a link to the "Vortex Theory" proposed by Maxwell and others during the 19th century, even though the concept of the "ether" has been abandoned?
In Spinors it takes two complete turns to get down the "rabbit hole" (Alpha Funnel 3D--->4D) to produce one twist cycle (1 Quantum unit).
Can both Matter and Energy be described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature? (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Mass= 1/Length, with each twist cycle of the 4D Hypertube proportional to Planck’s Constant.
In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137.
1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface
137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted.
The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.)
If quarks have not been isolated and gluons have not been isolated, how do we know they are not parts of the same thing? The tentacles of an octopus and the body of an octopus are parts of the same creature.
Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. The "Color Force" is a consequence of the XYZ orientation entanglement of the twisted tubules. The two twisted tubule entanglement of Mesons is not stable and unwinds. It takes the entanglement of three twisted tubules to produce the stable proton.
Eric's own theory looks completely wrong.
He's still right about strings.
The only real problem I have with string theory is, at least at this point in time, it's basically un-testable. We dont have any ideas on how the theory could be tested, let alone the means to test it.
So it's like a supreme being. How are you gonna prove he exists if he fails to show himself?
It's fun imagining that they're may be an infinite amount of copies of you, based on all the quantum decisions you've made in your life.
But, there's no way to prove it, and it doesn't change anything here.
So yes, they should put funds into other work also, or you could spend decades not researching other theories and find out string theory is incorrect.
Them not finding the symmetrical particles they were predicting is a red flag, which should have at least cooled them down a little. They say they need even bigger colliders, but my guess is they were in on setting specifications for Cern. So yes, I wouldn't cancel all their funding, but I would trim them back and fund other avenues better.
What other avenues? Ed Witten says people who want string theory funding to stop don't have a better alternative
A venture capitalist versus Ed Witten, Gerardus 't Hooft, Juan Maldacena,Thomas Banks , etc?

Brian, if you see this, I would question your channel manager. Most popular channels have a separate clips channel because it's a different form of content than your main content. Even if all 9000 viewers were brand new eyes, they will go to your channel and find different content. This also helps grow your main channel because clips channels can post the content to tiktok, etc. and build their own viewerships. So on top of not doing this, you're posting old content. Old content doesn't help a channel get picked up by the algorithm because most of your viewers recognize this, have seen the content already, and skip over it so you're basically making it impossible for the algorithm to pick it up and most importantly making your main core audience upset because they want to see new content. This reduces the likelihood of your core audience to click a video. This is the opposite of the game you want to play, because you need to make sure the people that already come to you come back, ON TOP of also gaining new eyes. It's not a big deal to me but as someone who wants to see you grow, I hope you figure this out eventually and get a good RUclips manager
