Can I give a seminar in your department?
I wanna solve the puzzle.
And a lot of what we're arguing about is that the string theorists are the only ones who have the right to try to solve the puzzle
at the moment, so imagine that somehow there's a rule that only Rick, poor Rick, who guesses that there's an R, imagine that he's the only one allowed to solve the puzzle, and when she asks, may I solve the puzzle?
No, no, no, you can't, that's pseudoscience.
You're a charlatan.
That is crank physics.
So that's what the problem that we're facing is, is that we've got one group that got control of the gatekeeping,
who is very good at mathematics, extremely bad at physics.
And they've redefined what physics is and what good science is, where they're the only ones who are guessing the puzzle.
They can't guess the puzzle.
And everyone else is like, here's a crazy story from yesterday.
I wasn't allowed to say that I gave a talk in the physics department, even though
Any normal person would say that that happened.
And I wasn't allowed to do that when I visited a physics institution in Canada.
I wasn't allowed to say that I was visiting for a week.
Nor was I allowed to say that I gave a seminar that lasted nine hours.
But you just did.
Yeah.
Are you a lawbreaker?
