Eric Weinstein Says He Solved the Universe’s Mysteries. Scientists Disagree
- nabla9 6y agoWeinstein just published outline of the general idea he already had decade ago. Apparently he has not worked on with the technical details (doing physics) to see if it works out at all. Vague ideas are "everyone is selling, nobody is buying" market. No amount of promotion will change that. At least Nguyen is politely giving him pointers.
- maxharris 6y agoThis headline is clickbait nonsense. The result that I'm not even going to click the link. If you want to actually engage with Weinstein's ideas to see if they have merit, start at https://pullthatupjamie.com https://pullthatupjamie.com
- mellosouls 6y agoConsidering you didn't click the link to check, your comment is redundant. If you had clicked it you would have seen the title accurately reflects the article's content (which itself accurately describes the situation): Weinstein has plugged a "theory of everything" but until recently wouldn't put it through scientific channels for proper analysis; unsurprisingly it isn't taken seriously by experts. As for the fanboy website you link to, the onus is not on others to go to Weinstein, but for him to be humble enough to submit to normal scientific process. As with the similar case of Wolfram, wealth and expertise in an unrelated subject does not count as evidence or authority in physics.
