I've not seen the video, but I am always eager to hear about research that opens new perspectives to Maths, even when it's wrong. It may serve as an inspiration or is a waste of time, but that's the cost of advancements in science.
If you know links to papers or theories of other people that are worth looking into, let me know. I can't tell if the theories of Mr. Powell have any merit or foundation. But I'll find out myself after seeing the longish video.
Benoît B. Mandelbrot, Ken Ono and Srinivasa Ramanujan's theories put new perspectives into our understanding of Maths that goes way beyond what most people understand. Even those advanced in Maths have difficulties grasping it.
This is my opinion, but I think the research of these and other important people reveals a Fractal nature in Maths and Physics. What's missing is the link to Chemisry and Biology.
There are relations to fractals and all nature sciences we don't know about.
Yes, I've actually read the books and papers from these people. Yes there were a lot of parts I had trouble understanding, but ideas are easy to grasp, their Mathematical proof is not.

- jpxxx 14y agoNo, stop, this non-thought does not advance science. It's nonrigorous garbage that's designed to go down smooth without much effort. At best it's fanciful noise, at worst it's a cultural nerve toxin.
