    This is just Time Cube or the Carnicom Chemtrails site rehashed. Buncha bullshit. Sure, the author (found a name. Rowan Brad Quni) is discussing some actual physics concepts, but none of this is new or even controversial. Acting like information theory is some sort of conspiracy against reality is just not going to move any subject forward.

    Don’t bother trying to interpret their point.
    Here. Some actual info.

      It’s an honor to be called a “lunatic,” better than being ignored 🤣

      Perhaps you could put your thoughts in your own words rather than link to others as your rebuttal. If you’re going to lean on the standard model while ignoring its numerous failings, it seems equal lunacy to argue with a fellow crazy.

        Ur a nut.

        You should watch the second David Tong video. Notice how he makes his points. Nobody thinks he’s nutty. See that?

        Emulate it.

          Call me a nut, but I am most certainly a nut with a 🧠. And I may be wrong often, but mark my words: so too are general relativity and the Big Bang incomplete; and “dark matter” and “antimatter” are such mathematical folly I’d delight in being mocked here today so history will show who the true fools are (hint: I’ve actually thought about this more than most of you have).

          Thanks for the tip about David Tong though. My latest strategy is to co-opt existing physics paradigms by showing how an information theoretic can describe them better than they can describe themselves rather than waste time attempting Pyrrhic rhetorical victories.

            Ya. Well bud, try making sense. That helps a lot.

            Notice in that video that despite the fact that Tong showed up to his Royal Society lecture to rock their world, and in fact the title of his lecture advertised as such, he wait until minute 30 of his hour-long lecture to abruptly tell them all that reality is a lie.

            Tong made this declaration, in this sacred room, in front of Micheal Faraday’s desk, to the Royal Fuking Society. Ya get it? He wrapped himself in the flag of standard physics, and when he had them all buttered up, he ripped off the veil.

            One must establish some level of consistency and reliability before one can make outrageous claims and get any sort of positive attention. If you are not credible, well ya. You are “wasting time”.
