Thanks for sharing this article. I wish t...Glenn, <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this article. I wish to comment. <br /><br />All the people mentioned in this discussion shared the belief that the mathematics being utilized to describe the nature of the universe was appropriate, in other words, capable of describing the universe. <br /><br />Therein lies the mistake. The problem is in the nature of the analytic being used. The type of math being used is worshiped because of its ability to describe anything. However, nature is not everything as the string theorists have discovered. The math estimates there are 100 to the 500th power of ways a string can vibrate. That is more possible ways than there are atoms in the visible universe (let alone an infinite universe), when out of that enormous number they look for the handful of vibrations that actually make particles and atoms. The math has no way of deciding which vibrations out of all possible vibrations are essential to form matter.<br /><br /><br />What is needed is a geometry where the allowable forms correspond to the forms allowed by nature and NONE OTHER.<br /><br /><br />Adhering to this imperative, I have looked for and found a math, a topological geometry I call "Tometry" that confines itself to nature. Using Tometry, reveals how the mass and energy values discovered by experiment can be known. <br /><br />Tometry and its application to physics is being written up. The first book is in process of being published. <br /><br />As to the issue of physics vs metaphysics, I subscribe to the view that :<br />Physics has no meaning without a Totality for a context, and inversely a Totality that cannot produce a physics is worthless. <br /><br />Good physics will lead us to metaphysics, and good metaphysics gives a meaningful context for physics.<br /><br /><br /><br />Don BriddellDon Briddellnoreply@blogger.com
