Y'all not gonna talk about the crashout on Piers Morgan.I'm surprised that I have never seen a thread about this. I don't want /sci/ to become WWE but it's just so comical.I'd describe myself as an "aggressive hobbyist" on theoretical physics like QFT but I still barely know what they're fighting about.Again, I can't pass judgement on Eric Weinstein because I don't know what he does, but he appears to be a Neil DeGrasse Tyson type that talks about black holes on Conan. This isn't a problem, but the problem is trying to act like a physicist where you write a paper without rigorously proving anything.His explanation of Gauge Theory on Joe Rogan was like "yeah so it's like a donut but every donut has a shower curtain ring on it. If you take this and add a twist to it then you can model everything we know about the universe and everything we don't. Speak only of this in certain circles because I've been accused of semitic witchcraft just for bringing it up"
When you pit an unlikable villain against an unlikable villain, the unlikable villain wins. Simple as that.
>>16917914I'm an engineer. I sit here because /g/ is 100% full of software "engineers" and jeets talking about iphones. Don't know shit who Eric Weinstein is exactly and what the fuck he does but I did saw some Joe Rogan clips with him and he sounded very funny, like an uncle that tells you bullshit stories for fun.
>>16917914You're low IQ, so you cant comprehend the problems Eric Weinstein is bringing up. You call him a Neil DeGrass type, but thats actually what Sean Caroll is. They just parrot consensus slop with no real thought. Physics has stagnated for nearly 100 years now.
>>16919916Nah you're parroting populism slop, retard.>>16917914Weinstein is a crank with a 20% finished theory he wrote 30 years ago and left unfinished (unfinished, because it doesn't work). Demanded he be worshipped as the next Einstein (major narc) and thus didn't get taken seriously, so then he started using reactionary rhetoric on chud podcasts to stir up the Just Asking Questions (tm) folks. What followed is hundreds of thousands of podcastbux ad revenue
