Thank you! If I understand Weinstein correctly, he seems to also be suggesting that the promotion of string theory by government funding is deliberately designed to neutralize physics. The motivation Weinstein is suggesting is to prevent new fundamental discoveries in physics (time travel, endless free energy, etc.) from over-turning the apple cart of the existing status quo the way the Manhattan Project did. Do you consider Weinstein’s hypothesis far-fetched?

Thank you for this report on particle physics! What do you think about the contention of Eric Weinstein that string theory is a sterile dead end and that physics has lost its way?

For an alternative to collider technology. We can use this to create a stable mini Sag A here at home!
