Saw this post where Eric Weinstein was talking about how US govt is intentionally stagnating physics to stop it from creating more powerful tools. Is this true? Is our physics stagnating and how did US govt convince so many to stagnate https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1975316849207529940
>>16809279>Weinstein says...>Based on something Marc Andreesen said...No, fuck both of those faggots. And fuck you for browsing Twitter.
>>16809282Marc Andreesen is one of most powerful people in Silicon Valley and created first browser Weinstein has a PhD in mathematics Why would you just ignore them?
>>16809284>Muh venture capitalists are geniuses>Muh credentialsYou're easily impressed.>created [sic] first browserDo you have any idea how easy it is to display a 90s web page? It's literally just a tree.>Why would you just ignore them?Because when I listen to them it's clear how vacuous anything they say is.
>>16809279>Saw this postand a saw you were a retard. This is tripe, physics research has come a long way since 1970 largely due to the very supercomputers Anderseen funds. If you had taken a college physics class, one that requires calculus, you'd have known this. It's why the ESA, China and Russia are launching space probes to detect gravitons as we now understand enough engineering around it to detect them. NASA isn't doing it anymore because Trump decided it was gay.More to the point, none of this involves former president Biden and you're retarded for thinking he's part of some sort of conspiracy to suppress science that most of the planet is now doing without americans.
>>16809284>Marc Andreesen is one of most powerful people in Silicon Valley and created first browserThis is true but your claim about him is made up. You've either made up this gay story about him and posted it to twitter, or you are retarded and are reposting a fake story about it here.There is also no point in Anderseen meeting with Biden when, obviously, Anderseen is a Republican and voted for Trump.
>>16809292btw some proof of thishttps://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/07/12/marc-andreessen-private-chat-universities-diversity/https://archive.is/lhknB>The investor has supported Democratic presidential candidates, including Hillary Clinton in 2016, but backed Republican Mitt Romney in 2012. Andreessen and his firm backed Trump after his attempted assassination in July last year, an endorsement the firm said could protect tech start-ups from hostile policies pushed by the Biden administration.wow isn't that suspect? This one guy lying about his political orientation, lying about his political donations, lying about his influence on academia, and then lies to twitter and OP drinks it up like the good goy he is.
>>16809279Probably not.Why wouldn't they want more powerful weapons?I'd want more powerful weapons.
>>16809301Not for public.
If this was true wouldn't other countries, with governments that aren't deliberately hampering their physics programs, have overtaken the US in physics research?
>>16809306Yes. Which is why it's retarded.
>>16809306Hid argument is that US is psyoping those countries too
>>16809321Super retarded.
>>16809279No, Weinstein is a retard. He is trying to sell his "theory" and generally increase his profile as a public bullshitting faggot.
>>16809306The EU has CERN. It hasn't produced much of anything useful beyond PowerPoint presentations in Comic Sans.>But HiggsAnd what has that gotten us? Nothing.>>16809279Did anyone explain why they wanted to do this? Seems like a lack of interest more than anything else. Back when Bill Clinton was president, deficits actually mattered, which is why he was given the choice of continuing to fund the Texas Superconducting Super Collider or the International Space Station, but not both. Clinton picked ISS. Was that due to some mysterious ban on theoretical physics or because space stuff is easier to get support from the public?
>>16809360>And what has that gotten us?We wouldnt know if any of these governments or research divisions found anything profound because, in truth compartmentalized information has been a factor since the beginning of humanity's emergence, and is wielded as means of control by those intent on short term gains for themselves. The politics and aspirations for utopia are deliberately used as a weapon against the whole of humanity deliberately or not. That is the problem. Whether conspiracy prevails among the rungs of heirarchy or not, does not change the objective. So move and bring about understanding in ways they cannot intercept.
>>16809369*humanity- perhaps deliberately or notDoesnt it get kind of tiresome of trying to go about the same tired problems in the same tired ways? If there are great innovations and inventions- people need to stop trying to make a living from it in these busted systems and upcoming dystopian ones, and just share all the info everywhere so we all advance and learn without the ok or go ahead from any and all control freaks and scam artists. Simple as that guys. Figure things out, share it everywhere, explain how it works if you can because I am sure there will be efforts to bury whole areas of study instead of just stagnating them if such were true. See it doesnt really matter? Learn more, do more, be more anyway. You want to get permission to breathe or have it for yourself?
>>16809279>Eric Weinstein was talking about how US govt is intentionally stagnating physics to stop it from creating more powerful tools. Is this true?No, lol. There is a much simpler explanation that doesn't require conspiratorial governmental sabotage. Physicists hit a dead end, but didn't want funding to stop to pretended their work was still fertile. In other words, it's not some systematic government influenced sabotage. It's the opposite. It's a group of physicists scamming the government for funding. See the difference?
>>16809279The Trisolaran Sophons are already here
>>16809290damn you're dumb as hell but still think yourself smart. This isn't talking about obama retard.
>>16809279Isn't it obvious why? It's because they want the minorities to catch up.
>twitter screencap thread of an AI generated tweet>people are actually responding to it
>>16809279> A kike makes up shit to distract your attention from a more obvious fact that kikes may be good in music and movies, but they're not exactly capable of doing science and since they were allowed in, it went down.simple as.Also his theory is conveniently only available on his site _by_request_ and on another platform, where he can change it any time. So the question is if it had lagrangians, why didn't he just say so
>>16809279even longer. and smart people on 4chan have been saying it for years. you simply can't have independent research, everything is funnelled and bosses decide what is to be researched, and it's never anything revolutionary
Isn’t that the retard with a theory of everything that not a single human being in academia respects or takes seriouslyYeah I wonder why he’d say that
>>16809667>smart people outside of the system have it all figured out how convenient for them to never have to prove it lol!
>>16809432the quality went down the shitter lately
>>16809737Not outside the system and the managers are not smart.
How the fuck is he even wrong? You can’t even entertain (not necessarily believe) shit anymore without being ostracized.The scientific community has become so filled with pussies it has become one big giant woman. String theorists are all a bunch of pussies/women. So yes, I would like to know WHY this happened.
Aliens don’t want us advancing too fast so they make our best and brightest all sorts of obsessive around baseless and redundant things that don’t matter much.They have this right.
Science suffers from crabs in a bucket. I am right and you know it.
damn this got the redditors in a tizzy. must be onto something
>>168098334chan will readily admit that science has been compromised up the ass for years. Why can’t Reddit?
the only person who thinks physics has stagnated since the 70s is someone that hasnt worked in physics
>1970s>currency gets debased >employee compensation decouples entirely from production>science is purposefully stagnated>demographics are 5 years in to Naturalization Act leading to the third worlding of the countryThis is your nation on semites.
>>16809279What's actually happened is nuclear and particle physics have stopped receiving as much funding or attention since the Cold War died down. This has caused progress to slow in more fundamental areas and for attention to shift to more applied ones and those with lower overhead, such as optics, thin films, and semiconductors.
>>16809293I really don't see how this proves that he never talked to the Biden White House
>>16809807picrel has the thesis that it's groupthink
>>16809306US government censors any information from other countries about physics progress
>>16810167>oh no, a fringe theory in physics which was mostly popular in the media and nerd television turned out to be irrelevant! Now we know that the 99% of actual physicists who aren't string theorists are stupid groupthink liars!
>>16810172What? The book is saying that almost every foundational physicist in academia is a string theorist and it's the result of groupthink
>>16810179yes, which isn't truelee smolin believes in LQG, which is just as much of a meme as string theoryit's a dishonest book that tries to paint string theory physicists as mean tyrants stealing all the funding from his poor oppressed favorite theory, while in reality string theory never actually dominated academia, sure it was popular 20-30 years ago but more popular among non-physicists than it was actually dominant in theoretical physics. it's just another case of some pseud who can't get traction publishing his work for actual physicists, instead making money from deceiving the general public. Which is exactly what string theorists did too, but at least they didn't do it by bashing other peoples' more famous theories.
>>16809279it stagnated but since einstein
>>16810182I'm not a theoretical physisist, what is like, non pseud theoretical physics? Everything I have ever seen from it is either sort of schizo, or "we looked at the LHC data and narrowed down the mass of gender leptons to a margin of 1 to 3 kiloelectron volts / C^2
>>16810196I'm not knocking the field, I genuinely want to know how you can differentiate promising new theories from schizo theories, and if any of the promising new theories are better than asking excel to generate an equation that happens to fit the observed data
>>16809284so you're telling me neither of them are physicists?
