3. Culminating w/Helmholtz, the lack of explanation for #consonance led to reducing it down to perception & physiology. 4. In all areas, people moved between realms of space & time w/o blinking, as if interchangeable & commensurate, up until relativistic #spacetime & even then, just kicked the can.

3/n…in the video excerpt they discuss various instances in which accepted ways of thinking about #Spacetime, #Gravity and #VacuumEnergy run into schmutz, or break down. #UAP observables point us in certain directions. There is a hand pointing. It’s not ours.
That may seem like an unlikely place to reframe how we ask certain questions wrt things like #QuantumGravity. It may not seem immediately useful to suggest someone way smarter than us has solved some of these problems. Just inevitable

Never bury your CTA in the same post as your shareable quips or internet meta-references to internet trivia! #Nonlinear space & time intervals? Before #spacetime had been conceived? Involving the same characters who would anchor us to absolute time & space for another 300 yrs or so? #philsci

What if...
By redefining a single word, the entire universe began to reveal its secrets?
Physics suddenly became simple and understandable?

Curious?

Quantum tunnelling and wormholes are usually treated as separate phenomena.
They aren’t.
Both are: • access to classically forbidden regions
• permitted briefly, not permanently
• exponentially suppressed by scale
• locally causal, globally surprising
Same geometric process.
Different size of deformation.
Physics didn’t forbid them.
It just made them expensive.

Tunnelling, Wormholes, and the Geometry of the “Forbidden”

Why quantum tunnelling and spacetime shortcuts are the same process, seen at different scales

🐘 When Algebra Took the Floor — and Geometry Was Asked to Sit Quietly

Why an imbalance in mathematical language may have slowed progress.

We may not have lacked mathematics in fundamental physics — we may have over-privileged algebra at the expense of geometry.

Algebra is superb at conservation and symmetry.

Geometry tells us what is possible.

When geometry was demoted to “intuition,” we: • over-valued static solutions
• flattened scale dependence
• fragmented processes that were actually unified

Tunnelling, horizons, negative energy, spacetime shortcuts — same process, different geometric cost.

This isn’t anti-maths.

It’s a course correction.

When #Heathrow airport's 3rd runway construction began, #spacetime got weird — concrete started to float!

Baffling – until they realised the mystical river wardings protecting the airport on three sides had been breached! Worse than the last time too – which had resulted in having to lift the Picadilly line over the River Crane!
