@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein Timothy Nguyen guessed at what would be in the paper and assumed it would be a finished paper, that it would assert classical Supersymmetry, and it would be chiral (i.e. the Universe has more particles with left handed Spin properties), and not be Complexified, i.e. U(128)

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein Every assumption was wrong

It was an incomplete and unpolished work in progress draft version of one of about nine instantiations under consideration in a program that aspires to become a Unified Field Theory and merely a candidate for what a Theory of Everything might look like

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein It does not support classical Supersymmetry which has been discredited as it predicted to find superpartner particles such as a 'selectron' to pair with the electron and scientists looked for these and didn't find them

Geometric Unity asserts these may exist in a different place

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein §3.2 Chiral Anomaly in the GU Gauge Group in Nguyen's paper is a fair criticism of how the theory was broken when it was presented at Oxford University in 2013

However in the intervening eight years it changed from being U(128) to U(128, ℂ) Dirac Spinors which have no issues

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein Mr Weinstein openly admits having misplaced his notes from decades earlier which provided a formal definition of the Ship In A Bottle operator. I think this is inevitable when you set yourself a fixed publication deadline, but he has promised to reconstruct it in future drafts.

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein This is indeed a serious problem as it is required to:

"kill off the Weyl curvature contribution to recover Riemannian geometry’s ability to form Einstein tensors for gravity in such a way as to preserve Ehresmannian gauge covariance"

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein As to his anonymous collaborator, Theo Polya has yet to make any criticism whatsoever of the General Relativity aspect of Geometric Unity despite The Modified Yang-Mills Equation Analog having a Dirac Square Root in a Mutant Einstein-Chern-Simons like Equation
🤔
Maybe it's fine?

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein Since Eric Weinstein published his initial draft Timothy has been on several podcasts and admitted to having not read it all the way through. He checked §8 and on finding no formal definition for the SHIAB trashed the entire program, ignoring that it was a work in progress

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein This is unfortunate as I believe a lot of people may have disregarded a paper that is full of much needed fresh thinking as they assumed Timothy Nguyen responded to Eric Weinstein's paper, which isn't the case as Tim published first and Eric's theory changed to U(128, ℂ)

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein I appreciate that there are many people frustrated that they can not embark on their own original work until they secure tenure in academia and are annoyed that Eric is bypassing peer review

I would tell them to stop complaining and just ignore him. You clearly aren't interested

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein But then I keep seeing a wave of negativity in a lot of the comments sections of any science related YouTube video Eric appears in. When will he answer his critics?

Well he did on April 1st 2021 at 1:13:00 into episode 1628 of The Joe Rogan Experience

He said Tim guessed wrong

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein It really is quite hard to get into this topic in a way that the response by Timothy Nguyen and Theo Polya can be refuted thoroughly. I had a crack at it but the video came out twelve hours long, and I do not recommend anyone watch it

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein However, because this Theo Polya never found an issue with the General Relativity aspect of Geometric Unity based off the 2013 Oxford lecture uploaded in 2020 and has been silent since, I am inclined to think Theo is a sock puppet run by Tim to bolster his credibility

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein Tim definitely knows what he is talking about when it comes to Quantum Field Theory and I know he wrote his PhD about the Seiberg-Witten equations but that isn't everything Weinstein is using to generalise Einstein Field Equations from 4 to 14 dimensions and unify all fields as ω

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein If you put a gun to my head and said explain Geometric Unity in a single tweet I might say that a single unified field named ω (omega) interacts with itself in 14D to produce relativistic waves in superposition some aspects of which are "pulled back" due to squished 4D spacetime

@Jim27371416 @AlchemyAmerican @EricRWeinstein or you could R E A L L Y pay attention to the lyrics of this mash-up
