I really hate writing like this. "That’s a fascinating piece of logic in a remarkably clear and well written paper." A piece of logic != proof. It's dishonest

I really hate writing like this.
"That’s a fascinating piece of logic in a remarkably clear and well written paper."
A piece of logic != proof. It's dishonest, IMO, to claim a link between P≠NP and the quantum nature of the universe, as this post does, without proof, or at least something far closer to proof than "fascinating logic" and really well written papers.
This just another example of the sad, stupid world being created by the BuzzFeed Generation. Sigh.
- akie 12y agoI'd be more than happy if the BuzzFeed Generation (is that a thing?) is interested in quantum physics and computational complexity, though.
- king_magic 12y agoOh no doubt, me too - but do you really want dishonest & uninformed writing like this becoming the part of the foundation of peoples' understanding of quantum physics or computer science? It's in the same class of unfounded speculation as creation theory, homeopathy, astrology, etc. It's crank science packaged up as real science.
- vezzy-fnord 12y agoIs "BuzzFeed Generation" supposed to be an insult against Millennials, or some sort of lament on the dropping quality of news and science coverage dumbing down the planet? You're at least 130 years late for the latter, and none too visionary for the former.
