What an exciting time we live in, where links between quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and GR May finally be emerging in physics! What will the final ramifications be? Hopefully something new comes of it.
If there are cases where conservation laws break down, or physical principles constrain one another in unforeseen ways, and they can be accessed at human scale, what an exciting thing! I’d guess you mostly feel this way too if I have not yet imposed any quackery on you, and suppose where we diverge is I do not see the harm in exploration as far out as the experimenter can dream to go. —Even if there is no theory for it. I know, the horror!
Do I think it will work? Well heck no. But that does not mean I wish the attempt to be quashed like I’m the inquisition. On the contrary, I bid them good luck. And if they do have good luck, they better have some results that are easily duplicated. I hope they do overthrow the foundations of physics. Why not? The earth will still possess curvature, and all the extant physics will still be as approximately right, and beautiful, as it was yesterday.
