Ha, Ha, True. That was a silly statement by the author; just say that this is "less theoretical" and not a textbook. Looked at the contents/sample chapter and it seems just like many of the books published by make magazine.

The letter is just a call to action reminding everyone how Mathematics is done and how Mathematicians operate within their domain with all the Human factors involved. But because of the bad behaviour (plagiarism, going-behind-the-back etc.)

Later down in the essay, Dirac himself answers this; With this kind of cosmological picture one is led to suppose that there was a beginning of time, and that it is meaningless to inquire into what happened before then. One can get a rough

Just to clarify; The term "2 x 109" is actually "2 x 10^9" or 2 billion years which was considered the present epoch i.e. accepted age of the universe at that time. Dirac large numbers hypothesis - https://en.

Nope, you need to engage in a root-cause conversation which is the key here. Just focusing on the words in a letter which as i already pointed out is couched in politically-correct terms due to etiquette is meaningless. There is a lot unsai

This is just making up stuff, setting up strawmen and knocking them down by oneself which is meaningless. There is nothing much to infer from the above verbiage other than "living in you own fantasy". My other comment is relevant
