@gummibear737 Joe Biden did it so only surprise will be if the media talks about it. More likely to get talking heads saying the Ayatollah is sharp as a tack and the smartest guy in the middle east.
whether one is a fan of hockey or not and whoever you rooted for, can we just stop a minute and pay respect to a guy who got his teeth knocked out w/ a high stick during regulation and came back to score the winning goal in OT?
that, my friends, is the olympic spirit.
iconic.
@donalddhoffman@manchak Observations can't determine global structure because they're inside the structure.
The way out: don't start with spacetime. Start with what spacetime must express—circulation at invariant rate c, and the topology it requires.
Global structure isn't observed. It's forced.
@manchak If the universe is unknowable from within, there must be something more fundamental.
That something is c—invariant circulation—and the geometry it requires.
Space and time don't contain it. They emerge from it.
@forallcurious Not "from nothing"—from structured potential crossing a geometric threshold.
The vacuum is circulation. The strong field is curvature. The particle is what gets thrown when the crossing gets sharp enough.
Short Paper from the Infinity Model - Geometric Origin of The Fine Structure Constant -- a e⁻π)/(2π) with stretch factor a = (√(27 + 15√3))/6 ≈ 1.061393. Numerical evaluation gives α⁻¹ = 136.98720450, in agreement with the observed value 137.035999084

@skdh Hi Sabine - I just posted a short paper on the Geometric Origin of Quantum Classical duality. As a hobbyist, I would value your opinion either publicly or privately. Thanks https://t.co/d8tPml94v4
My recent posts claiming derivation of the fine structure constant from topology was premature, wrong and is withdrawn. It was presented as derived geometry and it's not. Back to the drawing board.
