It is unclear why he was on the island – or why Epstein wanted to disprove the orgy allegation, although the twisted financier was known to invite famous figures to enjoy his hospitality. … The conference was reportedly funded by Epstein on the neighboring island of St. Thomas. Hawking is best known for his discovery that black holes emit radiation which can be detected by special instrumentation, according to NASA. He was born in 1942, and was diagnosed with motor neuron disease in 1963 … Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20 year prison sentence for sex trafficking, was the only person ever punished for the sex trafficking ring. … Other names mentioned in the document include claims that former President Bill Clinton ‘likes them young.’ … Other names mentioned in the document include claims that former President Bill Clinton ‘likes them young.’ _**String Theorist Can Explain Everything _•The Onion,_ October 12, 2005 | Issue 41•**_ BATAVIA, IL—Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory physicist Laird Karmann, a noted string theorist and accused philanderer, said Monday that he can “explain everything” if his wife Elizabeth will just give him a chance. “Surely, anyone can see that, mathematically, the universe is composed of Riemann surfaces, having positive-definite metrics, across which the attached ‘loops’ or free ‘strings’ have a (1+1) dynamic topology,” Karmann said. “But string behaviors are Lorentzian, meaning that they—like me—need an intense dual-phase Wick rotation now and then just to stay in rational space. I mean, it was just a b***job.” Elizabeth refused to accept her husband’s theory, suggesting that he study the transformational loop dynamics implicit in her hurled wedding ring. > Nothing gained in search for ‘theory of everything’ > By Dr Robert Matthews > Financial Times, London.

The bartender says, “I’m sorry, but we don’t serve strings here.” The string walks away a little upset and sits down with his friends. A few minutes later he goes back to the bar and orders a beer. The bartender, looking a little exasperated, says, “I’m sorry, we don’t serve strings here.” So the string goes back to his table. Then he gets an idea. He ties himself in a loop and messes up the top of his hair. Then he walks back up to the bar and orders a beer. The bartender squints at him and says, “Hey, aren’t you a string?” And the string says, “Nope, I’m a frayed knot.” **Murphy’s Ten Laws for String Theorists:** (1) If you fix a mistake in a mathematical superstring calculation, another one will show up somewhere else. (2) If your results are based on the work of others, then one such work will turn out to be wrong. (3) The longer your article, the more likely your computer hard disk drive will fail while you are typing the references. (4) The better your research result, the more likely it will be rejected by the referee of a journal; on the other hand, if your work is wrong but not obviously so, it will be accepted for publication right away. (5) If a result seems to good to be true, it is unless you are one of the top ten string theorists in the world. (By the way, these theorists refer to their results as “string miracles”.) (6) Your most startling string-theoretic theorem will turn out to be valid in only two spatial dimensions or less. (7) When giving a string seminar, nobody will follow anything you say after the first minute, but, if miraculously someone does, then that person will point out a flaw in your reasoning half-way through your talk and what will be worse is that your grant review officer will happen to be in the audience. (8) For years, nobody will ever notice the fudge factors in your calculations, but when you come up for tenure they will surface like fish being tossed fresh breadcrumbs. (9) If you are a graduate student working on string theory, then the field will be dead by the time you get your Ph.D.; Even worse, if you start over with a new thesis topic, the new field will also be dead by the time you get your Ph.D. (10) If you discover an interesting string model, then it will predict at least one low-energy, observable particle not seen in Nature. **Above:** string theory cartoons by the Abstruse Goose. Dr Peter Woit gives a discussion of the truth of the second cartoon in the blog post _What the M Stands For._ Seriously, Dr Ed Witten’s World of Mathematics biography states: “Witten, whom his students affectionately nicknamed “the Martian” because of his brilliance and soft voice, gave up his teaching duties in 1987 to concentrate on his research. … His wife reports that Witten does calculations only in his head.” **What do string theorists use to preserve their modesty?_G-strings._** What happens when two string theorists marry? _10 500 children across the multiverse, but all with differing amounts of dark energy._ What do you get when string theorists party? _Entanglement._ What do you get when you give a string theorist plenty of rope? _A Gordian Knot._ What happens when two string theorists have an argument? _Branes collide._ What’s the difference between a good string theorist and a bad one?_The good one predicts nothing; the bad one predicts everything_! What does a string theorist do when a duck says “quack”? _Ignores, then shoots the messenger!_ What do undead string theorists absolutely crave? _Branes_. It is said that papers in string theory are published at a rate greater than the speed of light. _This, however, is not problematic since no information is being transmitted._ How many string theorists does it take to play hide and seek? _10 500 + 1 … so that there exists at least one universe with two people in it._ In 2006, the bestsellers by Lee Smolin and Peter Woit “Not Even Wrong” and “The Trouble with Physics” were published, showing that superstring theory has become a dogmatic consensus, like epicycles being “defended” by less-than-objective methods. Right on cue, the world’s greatest genius behind M-theory, Ed Witten, happened to write a letter to Nature (v. 444, p. 265, 16 November 2006), headlined: “**Answering critics can add fuel to controversy.** “SIR — Your Editorial “To build bridges, or to burn them” and News Feature “In the name of nature” raise important points about criticism of science and how scientists should best respond (Nature 443, 481 and 498–501; 2006). The News Feature concerns radical environmentalists and animal-rights activists, but the problem covers a wider area, often involving more enlightened criticism of science from outside the scientific establishment and even, sometimes, from within. “The critics feel … that their viewpoints have been unfairly neglected by the establishment. … They bring into the public arena technical claims that few can properly evaluate. … We all know examples from our own fields … Responding to this kind of criticism can be very difficult. It is hard to answer unfair charges of élitism without sounding élitist to non-experts. A direct response may just add fuel to controversies. Critics, who are often prepared to devote immense energies to their efforts, can thrive on the resulting ‘he said, she said’ situation. [Critics must never be permitted to thrive.] “Scientists in this type of situation would do well to heed the advice in Nature’s Editorial. Keep doing what you are doing. And when you have the chance, try to patiently explain why what you are doing is interesting and exciting, and may even be useful one day. “Edward Witten Institute for Advanced Study, Einstein Drive, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, USA.” The next letter on that Nature page (from genetics engineer Boris Striepen) stated: “How and why did our public image change from harmless geeks to state- and industry-sponsored evil-doers worthy to be a target? More importantly, what do we do about it? And how do we communicate more effectively what we are doing, why we are doing it and what the opportunities and challenges of modern science are?” “Centralization of information and decision-making at the top has been destructive to most organizations. The Greeks had a word for the notion that the best decisions can only be made on the basis of the fullest information at the highest level. They called it hubris. In a living scientific organization, decisions must be pushed down to the lowest level at which they can be sensibly made. … Leadership would be decentralized throughout, not concentrated at the top. … It would also facilitate the downward transmission of goals, the only things that can be usefully passed down from above, and make room for the upward transmission of results, which should be the basis for reward. It should be obvious that this structure need not be imposed from above. There is no reason to await a decision from the top to do so. Everyone in the chain has the flexibility to organize his own life and thereby to decide whether he is to be a manager or a leader.” – Gregory H. Canavan, The Leadership of Philosopher Kings, Los Alamos National Laboratory, report LA-12198-MS, December 1992. Paul Frampton newspaper article **Above:** just to prove that supersymmetric particle phenomenologists are human and make errors, Professor Paul Frampton’s suitcase error may be mentioned. Frampton is author of _Gauge Field Theories_ (Wiley, 3rd ed., 2008), deriving Yang-Mills equations in gauge theory: “The first edition of this necessary reading for cosmologists and particle astrophysicists was quickly adopted by universities and other institutions of higher learning around the world. And with the data and references updated throughout, this third edition continues to be an ideal reference on the subject. The tried–and–tested logical structuring of the material on gauge invariance, quantization, and renormalization has been retained, while the chapters on electroweak interactions and model building have been revised. Completely new is the chapter on conformality. As in the past, Frampton emphasizes formalism rather than experiments and provides sufficient detail for readers wishing to do their own calculations or pursue theoretical physics research.” Frampton is also co-author of an arXiv preprint called _Primordial Black Holes, Hawking Radiation and the Early Universe_ which calculates that “The 511 keV gamma emission from the galactic core may originate from a high concentration (~1022) of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the core each of whose Hawking radiation includes ~ 1021 positrons per second.” Another worth mentioning is _Considerations of Cosmic Acceleration_ (http://arxiv.org/pdf/1004.1285.pdf) which solves the “dark energy” problem (the cosmological acceleration of the universe) as a Hawking black hole temperature radiation effect from modelling the whole universe as a (radiating) black hole, finding on page 4: “This approach provides a physical understanding of the acceleration phenomenon which was lacking in the description as dark energy.” The error here, as we have repeatedly pointed out on this blog, is that large electrically neutral black holes don’t have any pair production near their event horizon and so can’t radiate. Julian Schwinger’s IR cutoff for pair production proves that in order to have spontaneous pair-production (leading to phenomena like vacuum polarization phenomena, and Hawking radiation) you need an electric field strength exceeding 1.3 x 1018 volts per metre, which only occurs out to 33 femtometres from the core of an electron. The fact that the electron’s charge stops running and remains constant at energies below the IR cutoff (~0.5 MeV energy), i.e. the fact that classical electromagnetism exists at all, is entirely due to Schwinger’s 1.3 x 1018 volts per metre threshold field strength for pair-production and vacuum polarization (pair production is also the physical mechanism of Hawking radiation): QED running coupling diagram (nige cook) No uncharged black hole can radiate Hawking radiation, because to do so would require the absence of an IR cutoff (i.e. pair production would occur all over space, not merely within 33 fm from an electron core or in particle collisions above ~0.5 MeV energy), so the logarithmic running coupling function would not have any lower limit cutoff to prevent the running of the electronic charge to absolute zero beyond 33 fm radius. So no atoms would exist, because the electric charge would be completely cancelled by vacuum polarization at the relatively large 53 pm Bohr ground state radius of the hydrogen atom. It is essential for atoms to exist, therefore, that Julian Schwinger’s IR cutoff does exist to prevent the QED running of the electronic charge from going to zero at distances beyond 33 fm from a fundamental charged particle. Without an IR cutoff due to this Schwinger threshold electric field strength for vacuum polarization (caused by the effect of the field on the vacuum pair production of virtual fermions), there would be nothing to prevent the charge of the electron from falling to effectively zero at a few hundred femtometres radius! This kind of mechanism is totally absent in QFT due to the “wilful blindness” which excludes all physical understanding and mechanism from being discussed in papers and textbooks, leaving just maths. _I fear that with his popularity waning, Britain’s David Cameron might decide to boost national unity by declaring a Eton-style “let’s liberate Paul Frampton from the dasterdly Argentinians”-war in a half-baked effort to emulate Thatcher’s Falklands War against Argentina. Perhaps he will decide to get rid of all our Trident missiles in the process, by wasting them on soft targets in South America, when they are designed for hardened targets in Russia. However, let’s be optimistic and try to remain cheerful. Some will pray and hope Frampton will be released withoutmillions being hormesis-irradiated by cancer-preventing, life-enhancing strontium-90 in WWIII._ Lynch B******s **Above:** remember, kiddies, if you want to learn to be clever, don’t just go to a library and work yourself through all the textbooks and past exam papers you can find, and then book yourself into external candidate exam. This cheats the rich professors (Einstein impersonators) out of their lucrative pension funds! It also reduces their ability to “brane”-wash your mind with their pet stringy prejudices about what science really is. Instead, get yourself into debt by paying a fortune to be lectured to by card-carrying members of the Union of professional geniuses. “I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based on the field concept, i.e., on continuous structures. In that case, _nothing_ remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation theory included, [and of] the rest of modern physics.” – the _real_ Albert Einstein, 1954 (letter to Michele Besso, quoted by Abraham Pais in his biography _Subtle is the Lord: The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein,_ Oxford University press, 1983, p. 467). “Wilful blindness” leads 100% of spin-2 graviton theorists to ignore all of the caveates of Albert Einstein! There are no smooth geodesics of curved trajectories in quantized fields, just a lot of impulses from field quanta, gravitons. Einstein was exaggerating the problems of quantum field theory, however, since calculus is a useful approximation on large scales where the flux of field quanta involved in the interactions between particles is large. The real problem is that the differential geometry of tensors provides the wrong framework mathematically for making progress on the fundamental problem of quantum gravity, ad when the mainstream is in a hole, it keeps digging instead of trying alternatives. There is a problem on both sides of the differential field equation of general relativity: firstly, you can’t fundamentally model (except as an approximation valid statistically only for large scales) the distribution of particulate matter using the energy-momentum tensor T_{nm}, and second, you can’t model field quanta interactions accurately by the Ricci tensor for curvature R_{nm}. When Newton’s apple fell, presumably it was accelerated by gravitons interacting with it. That’s not a truly continuous acceleration. Presumably according to quantum gravity, only at the instants when gravitons are being exchanged, do accelerations occur as impulses. I don’t see how there can be any curved trajectories, because if fields are quantized, the field quanta will only approximate to curves on large scales. On sufficiently small scales, motion will be more erratic. Is anyone really sure if there are any really continuous curves in nature? Because everything is made up of particles, if you magnify a curvy line or anything physical that looks curved, eventually you’ll come to a series of atoms arranged in what (on larger scales) looks like the shape of a curve. The illusion of continuous curvature will of course disappear on on the scale where you can see the individual molecules and particles. “A possible explanation of the physicist’s use of mathematics to formulate his laws of nature is that he is a somewhat irresponsible person. As a result, when he finds a connection between two quantities which resembles a connection well-known from mathematics, he will jump at the conclusion that the connection is that discussed in mathematics simply because he does not know of any other similar connection. It is not the intention of the present discussion to refute the charge that the physicist is a somewhat irresponsible person. Perhaps he is. However, it is important to point out that the mathematical formulation of the physicist’s often crude experience leads in an uncanny number of cases to an amazingly accurate description of a large class of phenomena.” – Eugene P. Wigner, _The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences,_ 1960. “It always bothers me that, according to the laws as we understand them today, it takes a computing machine an infinite number of logical operations to figure out what goes on in no matter how tiny a region of space, and no matter how tiny a region of time. How can all that be going on in that tiny space? Why should it take an infinite amount of logic to figure out what one tiny piece of spacetime is going to do? So I have often made the hypothesis that ultimately physics will not require a mathematical statement, that in the end the machinery will be revealed, and the laws will turn out to be simple, like the chequer board with all its apparent complexities.” – R. P. Feynman, _The Character of Physical Law,_ BBC Books, 1965, pp. 57-8. “I adhered scrupulously to the precept of that brilliant theoretical physicist L. Boltzmann, according to whom matters of elegance ought to be left to the tailor and to the cobbler.” – Albert Einstein, December 1916 Preface to his book _Relativity: The Special and General Theory,_ English translation by Robert W. Lawson for the 1920 Methuen & Company edition, London. (Something quite heretical to today’s string theorists!) > Wu meets Mach > “When you discover that the two men who suggested the idea got the Nobel Prize, whereas the woman who designed, built and ran the experiment did not, you will no longer be surprised.” – https://robwilson1.wordpress.com/2024/04/04/wu-meets-mach/ Chauvinist elitism. This story reminds me of Fermi, the discoverer of beta decay theory (and predictor of the neutrino). Enrico Fermi won a Nobel Prize partly because, when in 1934 he exposed uranium to neutrons, he shielded the fission fragments from his detector using aluminium foil, and then claimed to have made the new elements “Hesperium” and “Ausonium”, which were debunked as total nonsense by female chemist Ida Noddack – who was of course ignored – before he got his Prize! NYT science editor William L. Laurence – _currently a “no-platformed” figure for correctly pointing out – to the horror of the “disarmament experts” that there was no radioactive fallout in Hiroshima on account of it being an airburst, the fire soot fallout occurring a couple of hours after the radioactivity had been blown far out to sea_ – interviewed Fermi about this (see Laurence’s 1959 book _Men and Atoms_): what if Fermi hadn’t used an alumium foil shield, and so had discovered uranium fission in 1934? Fermi replied (quietly, Laurence reports) that he was glad he hadn’t discovered the truth! If the Nobel Prize Committee or Fermi himself had listened to the female chemist Ida Noddack, and double checked what happened when uranium is exposed to neutrons, the nuclear arms race would have occurred sooner and WWII could well have been deterred. That’s just one unintentional crime of corrupt elitist Nobel prizes. There are many others too. Fermi’s BS Nobel prize winning “discovery” of two non-existent elements is explained IMHO a bit by Woit’s latest post on Sabine Hossenfelder’s problem (which is entertaining for a change): https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=13907 “ _I applied for grants on research projects because it was a way to make money, not because I thought it would leave an impact in the history of science. It’s not that what I did was somehow wrong. It was, and still is, totally state of the art. I did what I said I’d do in the proposal, I did the calculation, I wrote the paper, I wrote my reports, and the reports were approved. Normal academic procedure._ _**But I knew it was bullshit just as most of the work in that area is currently bullshit and just as most of academic research that your taxes pay for is almost certainly bullshit. The real problem I had, I think, is that I was bad at lying to myself.** Of course, I’d try to tell myself and anyone who was willing to listen that at least unofficially on the side I would do the research that I thought was worth my time but that I couldn’t get money for because it was too far off the mainstream. But that research never got done because I had to do the other stuff that I actually got paid for._“ Soooooo funny! > Physics on a Flat Earth “Couldn’t they do an experiment like that in the LHC?” – https://robwilson1.wordpress.com/2024/04/02/physics-on-a-flat-earth/#comment-7869 Experimentalists have proved to be no less corrupt than theoretical physicists! (E.g., see my comment a few minutes ago on your post about about Fermi vs. Noddack versus the effect of neutrons on uranium! Another example is the 1998 discovery of dark energy, the accurate QG theoretical prediction of which I tried to get into Nature, CQG, etc in 1996 and was rejected. Perlmutter didn’t even cite my prediction. I then tried to voice this in Physics Forums and was abusively dismissed using endless fake/ignorant no-go theorems that themselves violated even basic assumptions of QFT! Don’t trust groupthink authority in either theoretical or experimental/observational physics. It’s all corrupted from my standpoint!) “… **the arXiv censors (see the trackback saga) people for posting non-anonymous critical comments on papers by influential theorists** …” – Peter Woit, April 6, 2024 at 8:04 am https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=13907#comment-245533 It has to, being set up and organized by stringy people like Distler, because it’ll be dismissed as a joke if it allows its fake “no-go theorems” against any “alternative to stringy theory” to be openly debunked DISCLAIMER: I’ve added Sabine’s recent video on mainstream peer reviewed modern physics “bullshit” destroying the subject, but please note that this does NOT constitute an endorsement of her 1st quantization (one wavefunction per particle, instead of one wavefunction per “infinite” path interaction of each particle!) junk physics decoherence “entanglement” crap video and papers. She has previously called quantum gravity facts “crap” so I return the complement to her unpredictive crap. Likewise, when I quote Woit: what I’m doing is showing that mainstream bigotry is not a “conspiracy theory” but a reality, just as the US government and other groupthink quackery taxpayer-leeches are not in a “conspiracy” but merely a corrupted “teamwork” effort to undermine nuclear deterrence of the invasions that set off world wars. This crap has been with me since having blocked inner ear hearing to age 10 and resulting speech problems (hearing and speaking only low frequencies) and seeing the bloody Nazi groupthink crap which results from any slight deviation from “normality”. UPDATE: above, moderation queue crap YET AGAIN censoring unfashionable realities in science. Why bother? If I don’t keep trying, bigots use the facts that my comments don’t appear as if they DON’T EXIST OR WERE NEVER SUBMITTED. In other words, as with the “paranoid groupthink deceptive Nukemap” rubbish, they are abusive and lie: “look, LOADS of comments ALL GENERALLY AGREEING with these people you call thugs are allowed on their blogs, PROVES that they are NOT REALLY CENSORING ANYTHING! Nope. They FILTER the comments they allow and simply obstruct those that debunk them! ABOVE: relatively harmless “art” rubbish – which humanity would have got more of (in place of 40 million murdered, 6 million in gas chambers), if only we had credible deterrence instead of “socialist groupthink idealism of the Linus Pauling screeching lunatics variety”. Instead of Hitler ending up a professional artist, he was converted by the world’s corrupt, anti-liberal fake “liberal pacifists” into a genocidal lunatic. This was the deep hidden problem of the UK Government’s “Liberal Party” elite in 1914 was that it was biased by pacifist idealism as bad as Baldwin’s (plus George Lansbury’s so-called “Labour Opposition Party”) and Chamberlain’s 1930s. Churchill was in the Cabinet in when WWI was declared, and warned of the need for an arms race to deter WWI, but was directly opposed by sneering Angell, who was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for warmongering lies. We live in a world where liars are defended literally to the death by pseudosciences like eugenics, etc. please see my papers debunking this trash: here. ### Share this: * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * Like Loading...

The use of prime numbers for both canonical data encoding and cryptographic security has created a fundamental, long-term conflict in computer science. The migration to post-quantum standards, driven by the threat of quantum algorithms, reveals an implicit but unformalized design principle: selecting for mathematical problems that are hard but lack the broad “constructive utility” of integer factorization. This work provides a formal framework to classify computational hardness assumptions based on their intrinsic algebraic and geometric properties. We argue that a problem’s potential for constructive utility is a direct function of its underlying algebraic structure, such as supporting unique, canonical decompositions in an abelian group. By analyzing the properties of integer factorization versus those of lattice-based problems, we formalize the “hardness without utility” principle, providing a theoretical explanation for the ongoing cryptographic transition. The proposed taxonomy offers a constructive methodology for the design and evaluation of future cryptographic systems, ensuring security is decoupled from general computational utility.
