The article looks a lot like word salad... too many specific technical terms for the average person to manage, yet lacking in the specifics that would be needed by someone capable of understanding their theory.
If it's written for their audience, then the only audience they seem to be targeting is average people who won't understand their assertions may be a load of crap.
Or is there someone here with a deep understanding of these topics that would care to chime in?
- codethief 5y agoThe article is based on a paper which is linked at the very end. Here's my take: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27944642 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27944642 (Warning: Rather technical and full of math)
- brianpan 5y agoI have been really interested in general relativity and watching youtube videos for the past few months. I understood all the words (I would not have a year ago.) I think it does have enough detail to understand what they're saying. There's a lot missing, but I assume you'd go to the paper for that. But I think the article is well written. It essentially says, "We think this interesting thing is true. It has these nice properties, and should be provable/falsifiable. Please help us prove it!"
