Theory of everything: How a fear of failure is hampering physicists' quest for the ultimate answer (msn.com) Of course, the article mentions that someone's theory of everything, published after their death, turned out to be an embarrassment, but what the article doesn't mention, is the guy was already dead! Why the hell should scientists give a rat's ass about their reputation after they're dead, if they can possibly advance science on their deathbed? They are going further out on a limb every year, attempting to rationalize why we don't have a theory of everything, and why they're censoring half of reality. Physicists may be dumb, but they catch on. The fault my dear Brutus, is not in the stars, but in ourselves. WWIII will be fought over the best way to eat a soft-boiled egg, while eggheads debate who has the most reasonable sounding approach. Once my book gets around, many will simply retire early. This is a good thing, let the past be the past. Believe it or not, the article is a hint that they are experiencing the classic symptoms of a flock of confused chickens. In general, people tend to be neutral about a job, then become enthusiastic, then jaded. Their own obsession with classic logic, makes their mathematics predictable, and I can literally write math for Chickenshit Physicists, who don't comprehend their own stupid taboos.
