Art Calrlson and Wolfgang Engelhardt, who would have guessed. i can picture them now, horns locked, surrounded by broken furniture and even more broken arguments. something to behold i have no doubt. (Wittgenstein Vs Popper comes to mind)
seems to me like a man who deep down intuits there is a profound underlying flaw in all our thinking and that a great unified GUT/TOE will eventually leap out and prove him right.
if that were so, i cant help thinking he would be right. astrophysics seems to be suggesting we are about to be humbled in a big way, if dark flow, etc is ever explained.
but this doesnt make my task of understanding the Wiffleball any easier.
That's becouse there are too many scientists spending their time on the desk instead that in the lab
... though perhaps the opposite: i've heard it said that theory has been significantly lagging experimental/technological progress. it has a lot of catching up to do.
i wonder if Perelman has a bit of spare time to sort it all out for us?
