I stopped buying/reading New Scientist over 17 years ago because it stopped making sense.
The only physics worth awarding is the new plasma physics paradigm imho, which has its precedent in antiquity. Pythagoras, Ptolemy, even Tycho was more on to the state of reality.
Here's a new one from the Thunderbolts if anyone has 20 minutes to kill.
perhaps the prize was not awarded by human judges, but was determined by an AI algorithm instead? and perhaps the new Nobel Committee motto should be - Algorithms of the World, Unite!
Want to restart physics? We first need to eliminate the woo-hoo infesting it.
-- The delayed choice quantum eraser is proof that you can fool most of the physicists most of the time, and that the really have no idea how filters and beam splitters work.
-- Bell's Theorem is a ridiculous strawman argument. I'm not the only one who has noticed this, but the professionals who have spoken out against it get blackballed and silenced rather quickly.
-- Copenhagen interpretation delenda est! Pilot wave theory is much, much closer to reality.
-- h-bar is the amplitude (radius) of every photon.
-- The universe sucks at math, but is aces at geometry.
-- The conservation of both momentum and energy is a profound hint. All hail the gradient!
-- Chaotic =/= without cause. Random means nothing more than, "We don't know." Uncertainty is in the mind, not in the laws of nature.
-- Objective time (e.g. c = 299,792,458 m/s) and subjective (proper) time are separate. Objective time is invariant, but no physical observer can ever perceive it independent of their proper time.
-- These are the fundamental principles of physics:
0) Everything except energy adds up to nothing.
1) There is no such thing as negative (anti) energy.
2) The energy density at every point is constant.
3) Proper time IS potential energy.
4) Space is flat and smooth. Proper time is imaginary. Spacetime is hyperbolic.
5) Spacetime is the field governing motion.
-- Thus, there are no contradictions. There are no infinities. There are no singularities.
-- Conjecture from these principles: Antimatter has opposite spin proper time. Black holes are hollow shells of maximal (Planck) density surrounding empty space with no potential energy. Velocity is a localized wave that explains red and blue shift (remarkably like an Alcubierre drive). There are no contradictions between QM and GR.
