Uncompetative reacts to Eric Weinstein's Geometric Unity
46A wide ranging and unstructured deep delve into one of the greatest mysteries of the Universe: Eric Weinstein's speculative ideas that constitute a work in progress "program" that aspires to define a Unified Field Theory. This seeks to replace our current version of Quantum Field Theory as defined by The Standard Model with something more elaborate, and General Relativity with something less restrictive.
Geometric Unity seeks to replace the theory that describes the very tiny and the theory which describes the extremely massive with one theory that is capable of explaining the behaviour of all phenomena – including that which has only been inferred to exist such as Dark Matter, and also Dark Energy (that seems to be responsible for making our Universe expand at an accelerating rate).
As it is a work of progress a lot of slack will be given for it being incomplete and lacking in formal definitions and using the same symbol to refer to two different quantities, and having spelling mistakes. Just because it is nicely typeset using LaTeX that does not mean the draft paper is intended to be equal in polish to a paper which has been through rigorous peer review.
This 12 hour video covers the essential prerequisites needed to comprehend Eric Weinstein's Geometric Unity starting off with very basic mathematics such as 3 x 4 then introducing different types of numbers as Quantum Field Theory heavily relies on imaginary numbers which were they not explained would complexify matters.
