I personally like the idea of a musical universe. It kind of makes sense. It’s also weird how music is the easiest thing to recall for humans no matter their age. Coincidence? 🤨

I used to be into string theory until I discovered Dr Wal Thornhill and Michael Clarage and the thunderbolts YouTube channel. They actually have a theory that has made accurate predictions over the past decade. Here is one of their oldest videos. But you should check out the entire channel https:/...

The landscape problem?

don't mind me, just stringing along

You'd probably love Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory (sitcom) then

Because Michio Kaku is a hack. He's like Paul Stammets: a great embassador of their field to the masses, and spouting BS much of the time for attention.

I think it's a case of an idea that is compelling because it's beautiful. But beautiful ideas do not true explanations make. My understanding is that string theory has yet to succeed in making predictions, so it remains just an abstract, beautiful idea.

Probably because of a shit movie called interstellar
