I'm in complete agreement. The fact that he entirely glosses over there existing a field like algebraic topology with tremendous application to physics shows the author has little understanding of what he's writing about when it comes to physics.
- gilleain 7y agoThe author is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Baez https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Baez who: > He is known for his work on spin foams in loop quantum gravity.[3][4] For some time, his research had focused on applications of higher categories to physics and other things. So he probably has _some_ understanding of physics, no?
- danharaj 7y agoJohn Baez is one of the most qualified people in the world to talk about mathematical physics. Who are you?
- chunky1994 7y agoThat's an appeal to authority if I ever saw one. He may be qualified to talk about it, but he certainly isn't showing that here. The parent comment shows what we're taking issue with.
