00:00 Introduction
02:43 Sam Henry | Recent experiemental data suggest physics beyond
05:35 Sabine Hossenfelder | Phycisists need to change to move forward
09:41 Sam Henry | Cosmology has become path-dependent
12:21 Why had progress in the foundations of physics stalled?
22:16 Are the failures to find conclusive evidence a cause for panic?
37:29 Would changing the Standard Model have wider implications?
Since the 1970s we have understood the world through the lens of the Standard Model and its account of the forces and particles that make up the universe. The theory correctly predicted the discovery of quarks, force particles and most recently the Higgs boson. But a series of deep puzzles have emerged. The theory does not explain gravity, dark energy or dark matter. The quest for supersymmetry and a theory of everything to simplify the Standard Model's random complexity has failed. And now, even more significantly, a new force has been discovered throwing the whole theory into question.
Can the Standard Model be modified to answer the increasing number of challenges it faces? Or is the Standard Model fatally flawed - and time for the next great paradigm shift to a radically different account of the universe? Alternatively, should we conclude that all theories have limitations and not worry about the flaws, however profound they might be?

    • Are particles really structures which store spatial curvature, and are particle attractions produced by particles with opposite spatial curvature? An analogy would be a screw with a right-handed thread being attracted to a screw with a left-handed thread. Are photons produced when the screws unwind releasing their curvature? Are photons absorbed when the particles rewind ? A photon of blue light contains more spatial curvature (energy) than a photon of red light. (Look at two sine waves drawn on a blackboard of different frequencies, and look at the curves.) Are gluons actually a part of the quarks stretched out like a spring, and entangled with the extended springs of other quarks? (Also similar to two or three long entangled electrical extension cords.)

    • Thanks for an intriguing and thought provoking post. There is a common thread that runs through this and many similar videos and it can be summed up like this: We need a new way of thinking a new paradigm. And what seems to be the sticky point is gravity. My explorations on this particular topic leads me to agree with most people. A new way of thinking about gravity is essential. Additionally I'm pretty certain that we are thinking about it all upside down and inside out because gravity actually reveals an extra spatial dimension to us! And also points towards another. Anyhoo it'll get published or it won't but until then thanks for the great work all.

    • Have we moved beyond the Newtonian model? Yes and no. Newtonian mechanics still works good enough for plenty of applications. Is it the ultimate truth of the universe? No. Did it ever try to pretend to be? Not as far as I know. I think we would very much like to go beyond the standard model because we know it is not the ultimate answer. We just do not know what follows and why. So now it's not the time to move on because we have no where decent to go to.

    • The Standard Model is an approximation of the universe's subatomic behaviors. What appears to be happening is that observations are requiring increased complexity and time. What happens if a phenomenon under examination takes 10 years? Or 100 years? to observe a single data set. I suspect particle physics will eventually require artificial intelligence to utilize and confirm future discoveries. I suspect Sabine is correct. The solution will require defining exactly what a measurement is. The answer itself may not be capable for human cognition. It may eventually be that only an artificial intelligence can define this answer. AI is a tool that potentially can expand our ability to understand and make measurements.

  • "I do like the sound of 'a next great paradigm shift', because although particle physics is never dull, at the moment we'd really like to see a bit more excitement. It's been thirty years since the large hadron collider was turned on, and we found the Higgs-Boson, and we then hoped we'd see more discoveries; Supersymmetric particles, dark matter,...'some sort of new physics beyond the standard model'. But we haven't seen anything like that. In a way the problem with the standard model is not that it's flawed, but that it's too good. Nearly every measurement that we've made has matched the standard model prediction perfectly. But we know that the standard model can't be the final theory because there are too many unanswered questions, and they're going to need 'some sort of new science' to explain."

Meanwhile Sabine having studied in the field for a while knows hype methodology hasn’t produced ANY of the intended results not withstanding the huge sums of money and human resources poured into these questions.

  • IMO, the last point made by Sabine is the crux of all this, that we need to push through it all because we need to figure out how gravity really works, especially if we want to expand into the universe, which we might need to do, if we come across the fact at one point of time that the planet is fatally doomed due to some reason or another. Not saying it'll happen, but we must keep our options open.

  • Kudos to all four of these thinkers. There were funny moments and thoughtful moments. Sabine very gently touched on the topic that is really the most explosive and the ruin of good science which is money. Scientists are truly afraid to stray too far from their colleagues for they really will fail to receive funding and should they find funding anyway, still they will be ignored and ridiculed for being different and they will be called rebellious. The way the scientific endeavor is carried out in fields like physics and cosmology, with peer review and such and refutation almost never being published, it is really just a popularity contest, not science. It's more about personalities than science. Keep this in mind - the popularity of an idea does not determine if it is true or not. When Hubble (and others) proposed the expanding universe, it was very, very unpopular. It smelled too much of a Creator (Heaven forbid!). Einstein initially and for quite a while refused to accept it. Sabine is blessed to be a good thinker as well as a likable personality. Still, when Sabine comes up with an idea that is a little too far from mainstream, she gets ignored and ridiculed (politely, wouldn't want to offend). Well - there's my thoughts. At least you know I paid attention a little.

  • Hearing Sabine speak about the discrepancies with GR, the Standard Model and the astronomical observations from large scale objects (clusters of galaxies for instance) it crossed my mind that this search for Dark Matter and Dark Energy may end up being similar to the search for the planet Vulcan, the planet that should exist between Mercury and the Sun to account for the advance of Mercury perielium. In the end, what was needed was a radical shift in understanding. In other words, we are needing another Einstein and a revolutionary new theory of gravity not incremental adjusts on GR, Quantum Mechanics and the Standard Model. What you think?

  • I have really enjoyed the debate by very talented discussants on a field that is crosscutting and is of great interest to the wider community of science. True when physics progresses, chemistry progresses, biology progresses philosophy progresses and the world community progresses. As a chemist concern, given that the topics of quantum mechanics is of interest to physics, chemistry, biology and philosophy, it's time to get minds together to address this problem not just for physics but as a societal problem of the world in the 21st Century and beyond. From these excellent debate, this is my scorecard card as a chemist and friend of physics, having studied high school physics in Kenya, which I so enjoyed but was not as lucky to pursue further except for my interests in quantum chemistry. In my humble view the discussants and moderator had their eyes clearly on the ball. They clearly identified where the problems afflicting physics to day are and even had clear thoughts how these might be addressed in future. What was lacking, however, was a concluding identification of issues, way forward, who would be stakeholders, which institution would bring stakeholders together to work out a way forward and which funders would come together to find a new and paradigm shifting initiative that would take physicists from current silos to where to work together on new and clearly focussed mandates. If this is done, the problem could easily be fixed to get physics back on track, but just st some thoughts!

    • And for those who claim 'space' and 'time' do not actually exist except for as concepts, then: Consider the 'speed of light': a. 'Speed' is distance divided by time. b. 'Distance' is two points in space with space between those two points. c. If 'space' and/or 'time' did not exist in actual existent reality, except for as concepts, then 'speed' could not exist in actual existent reality, except for as a concept. d. If 'speed' exists in actual existent reality, then 'space' and 'time' both have to have some sort of actual existent reality. e. Likewise, 'light' which is currently considered as 'em' also has to have an actual existent reality, in addition to being a concept, for 'light' to exist in actual existent reality, in addition to being a concept. f. So, if the 'speed of light' actually exists in existent reality, then 'space', 'time', 'speed' and 'light' ('em'), all also have to actually exist in existent reality, otherwise, the 'speed of light' could not actually exist in existent reality, other than just as a concept, (which would put a major kink in a lot of physics formulas).

  • Dr. Ekeberg is well positioned to question the Standard Model of *Cosmology* as an outsider, Dr. Hossenfelder was quite supportive of his concerns. He's saying *nothing* about the standard model of particle physics. Dr. Ekeberg is right to raise questions about assumptions concerning the big bang, redshift-related distance measurements, and the veracity of the "Cosmological principle" when these assumptions are the foundation of our theories leading us to invoke non-parsimonious entities like "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" entities for which the only "evidence" requires the basic assumptions be correct. This is the "path dependency" that can (has?) cause theories to go way, way, way off course. Dr. Hossenfelder agreed with him that these "path dependencies" are a concern 26:12 . Cosmologists here are failing to see this as they are 'caught up' in the theories, here, a philosopher is needed to say, "wait, a minute," this Dark Matter that you are invoking as a "certainty" has no empirical evidence , rather, it follows from the assumption that basic *theories* are correct.

(i.e. research conducted simply to lean and not necessarily to solve some particular problem) Pure research has historically resulted in technology that improved life. The question, I think, is not if any research is worth doing... It's (almost) all worth doing, but what is the best way to allocate our limited resources to both maximize our understanding and to maximize quality of life... And how to balance risk taking that might expand our knowledge vs safer bets that are more likely to improve quality of life (i.e. long term vs short term gains).

  • Good panel on the banal. I wish more physicists would talk about the numerous puzzles and questions in what is called “non-fundamental” physics, which is hot, exciting, and at anytime could yield results which reverberate all the way down. For example, many “fundamental” theories are weak. Eg QM can’t model most chemistry nor explain an ever growing set of named anomalous “effects” in solid state physics. Many areas of research have been prematurely passed onto engineers, such as fluid mechanics which again is very weak, hence our need to use wind tunnels or empirically test windmills. The blue LED was the result of trial and error. The gamma laser also lacks QM guidance. Puzzles in fusion abound. Finally, there are interesting deep questions that are just not called fundamental in this discussion (except for a brief remark by Sabine) in the foundations of QM, constructor theory, AI revisions of physics, robotic and control problems, quantum information, information period. The particle physicists need to go into these wrongly characterized as humbler domains (magnets, large molecules, solid state physics, computational neuroscience) which are less expensive but fraught with puzzles, which like an annoying issue in radar calibration could reveal a Big Bang.

  • As per the discovery of accelerating Universe, the teams showed that high-redshift supernovae are expanding at a slower rate as compared to the low-redshift supernovae. For instance, a remote supernova with a redshift of 1.7 is expanding at a slower rate (decelerating) as compared to a local supernova with a redshift of 0.015. The same conclusion also comes while taking into account quasars and gamma ray bursts, such studies are also consistent with recent cosmic acceleration at low redshifts and past deceleration at high redshifts. All these studies show that high-redshift objects (redshifts as high as 9) are decelerating (slowing down under gravity) as compared to the low-redshift objects (redshifts as low as 0.01). Now, we all know that high-redshift objects are receding faster than low redshift objects, therefore, it is disturbing to accept this that superluminal (faster than light) remote expansion (redshift of 9) indicates slowing down as compared to subluminal (slower than light) local expansion (redshift of 0.01). This makes no sense; something has terribly gone wrong, thereby making the teams conclude that the Universe is accelerating! One will have to think out of the box to solve this paradoxical conundrum!

So the reference from which something is viewed is fundamental to the development of theories. It’s possible to simply reject an expanding universe and theorize from the standpoint of everything losing its “efficacy”, perhaps most easily imagined as fireworks, a phenomenon based on an initial “Big Bang”, the individual “particles” (what becomes the ash and gas) experience rapid expansion and evolution into their form upon burnout, every other part of the firework appears to rapidly go away (as though in expansion) the relationship to the rest of the firework would be the same as a secondary acceleration of the space between parts.

  • Last night reading the first chapter of Weiberg's General Relativity (GR) book it became clear that the mathematics may not be ripe for a paradigm shift. GR would not have been possible without people thinking about Euclid's 5th postulate over the centuries, followed by the deep insights of non-Euclidean geometry and the machinery of differential geometry. And on the physics side it took the insights of special relativity (SR) to do GR properly. The insights of SR could have been obtained with the Maxwell equations alone but the Michelson-Morley experiment certainly gave it impetus. Who knows when and how such favorable circumstances will exist for a new paradigm shift.

  • The standard model is not uglier today than years ago. It’s not more incomplete now than before. Also, the sm is not more “renornalized” now than before. And it’s not more a patchwork than before. We don’t even know if it failed or the calculations failed or were just imprecise in such a way it can be again, patchworked as it’s done so many times. And if it can’t be patchworked won’t mean the maths can’t be again normalized. Maybe and just maybe after one more math arbitration and one more patch it becomes a little bit uglier. Still right now this years’ experiment and results stills need to be better understood and the conclusions derived from it, made more mature, to figure whether the sm needs to be revised, but it’s probably not the case to retire it, specially because if one decides to retire it he has no other tool to use upon all other aspects of the mode which has worked more or less fine so far. It’s still ugly, incomplete, and maybe it becomes even uglier, and still more useful than limited and with no pragmatic replacement candidate. It’s not tasty but it’s still something we will have to swallow for a couple more time. Maybe for this whole lifetime.

As and "armchair physicist," it seems to me that the capabilities of recent generations of space observatories are yielding massively important new insights, both at high and low energy ranges, and we could certainly stand to apply more resources toward analyzing the troves of data they have already yielded, especially with the use of machine learning models which are many orders of magnitude faster and better at pattern recognition than humans. And we must improve dramatically our capabilities of detecting extremely low-energy phenomena, since it seems probably that there are pivotal things happening beyond our capabilities of observation which could close many of the gaps in our comprehension, i.e. make us better at explaining those observations we have already modeled. So if I can put forth what I think may be reasonable conjectures for how our research dollars may be better employed than a new super-duper collider, it doesn't seem too much to ask for those physicist who spend a lot of their time critiquing the direction of current research funding, to offer more specific suggestions.

  • I appreciate the video just even being willing to question and hypothesize things because I'm curious if instead of dark matter, could it be extra layers to gravity? Could we improve off of the gravity we already know that works to an extent already? Like there could be the layer we know; then a Large scale layer that's on the scale of entire galaxies and nebula's and other complex and diverse grand massive objects that have all sorts of behaviors interacting with in each other that I'm sure needs to be factored in to get this layer of grand scale gravity correctly. Then there could be sub atomic gravity or micro gravity or atomic gravity layer. That can essentially be the strong force and the weak force but it's just a different version of gravity on the smallest scale. So right now I'm just theorizing 3 layers of gravity, as an improved concept of the nature of gravity withing the natural world. The smaller layer, the normal layer we have understood very well that relates to our solar system type scale. Then there is the 3rd layer, the massive layer. Dealing with things that are light years across, vast temperature differences, density's, velocity's and diversity. Intense pressures, electro static charges, electromagnetism, plasma clouds, black holes, pulsar, quasars, neutron star's, super Nova explosions, gas clouds, solar winds, radiation, tons of interwoven orbital interactions and angular momentum velocities, multiple galaxies interacting upon other galaxies. Just so many things that probably all have to be accounted for when we are dealing with scales with such vast massive intracity, and scales as vast layers of complexity that the 3rd layer of gravity hypothetically could be covering? This is just a gut feeling, and I'm just doing a thought experiment with and I'd love it if someone else wants to improve onto it. I'm all for that.

  • Sorry, dass ich auf Deutsch schreibe. Ich glaube, dass es sich allmählich lohnt, den immer gemiedenen Begriff des 'Wesens' der Dinge in die Physik einzuführen, zumindest mal philosophisch. Die Grundfrage der Quantenphysik lautet ja: Wie kommen 'Dinge' zur Erscheinung - am Ende also die Frage nach den Übergängen, letztlich nach der Physik des Quantensprungs, der selber (bislang zumindest) außerhalb der Physik steht. Um ihn einbeziehen zu können, muss man nachdenken über das Verhältnis von Teil und Ganzem, weil ein Quantensprung ja nichts anderes ist als eine Unterscheidung in der Welt, und dieses 'in der Welt' heißt ja, dass 'das Ganze' instantan informiert sein muss, wenn ein Übergang 'passiert'. Es geht dann also um die Frage, wie es geschieht, dass ein 'Vorgang' (der noch nicht als solcher benannt werden kann) 'informativ' wird. Was mir persönlich schon seit längerem Kopfzerbrechen bereitet, ist - kurz gesagt - die Zahl 2. Als Quadrat taucht sie zuverlässig immer dann auf, wenn Prozesse klassisch werden (also bei der klassischen kinetischen Energie, beim Betragsquadrat der Wellenfunktion, bei E =mc_Quadrat...). Quadrieren kann man begreifen als Selbstproportionalität. Würde man das 'Ganze' - wie immer man es mathematisch formulieren will - als selbstbezügliche offene Randbedingung auffassen (ähnlich wie bei der Schallwellenerzeugung einer Trompete, wo der Druck am Ende der Trompete Umgebungsdruck sein muss), dann könnte daran so etwas wie eine Spiegelung stattfinden (immerhin muss man ja beim Übergang von den Wahrscheinlichkeitswellen zu realen Wahrscheinlichkeiten mit dem konjugiert Komplexen, also dem 'Gespiegelten' multiplizieren). Vielleicht lohnt es sich in diesem Zusammenhang auch, die Zahl 'i' tiefer zu verstehen. i_Quadrat = -1 ist ja nicht umkehrbar (wie ein Quantensprung auch). Als Quadrat mit negativem Flächeninhalt lässt es sich evtl. als eine Nach-Innen-Stülpung auffassen (analog zur Subjektivität). So betrachtet beschreiben die komplexwertigen Wellenfunktionen ein 'Welt-Innen'geschehen'', bevor der Messprozess in der Spiegelung am 'Ganzen 'als Teil 'zu sich selbst' kommt. Mir ist klar, dass ich hier sehr verschiedene Begriffswelten mische. Aber die Quantenphysik ist ja eine durch und durch ganzheitliche Theorie, ohne dass jedoch das Ganze als solches formal direkt thematisch würde. Damit so etwas wie ein Universum in Erscheinung treten kann, braucht es zwei (!) Prinzipien: Das Verbundenheitsprinzip (weshalb die Quantenphysik eine reine Wellenmechanik ist) und das Trägheitsprinzip. Trägheit ist letztendlich ja so etwas wie Gedächtnis, was bei jeder Art von Übergang ein Vorher und ein Nachher hervortreten lässt (und also Zeit generiert - und Raum). Wenn man Quantenphysik und Relativitätstheorie vereinen will, muss man meiner Meinung nach aus dem Verbundenheitsprinzip das Trägheitsprinzip herleiten, und da sehe ich einfach keine andere mögliche Randbedingung als eben das Ganze selbst. Letztlich müssten sich aus einer solchen Überlegung am Ende auch die Naturkonstanten herleiten lassen.

  • (black holes and D-branes ) What, then, are the "degrees of freedom" which can give rise to black hole entropy? 👇👇👇 String theorists have constructed models in which a black hole is a very long (and hence very massive) string. This model gives rough agreement with the expected entropy of a Schwarzschild black hole, but an exact proof has yet to be found one way or the other. The chief difficulty is that it is relatively easy to count the degrees of freedom quantum strings possess if they do not interact with one another. This is analogous to the ideal gas studied in introductory thermodynamics: the easiest situation to model is when the gas atoms do not have interactions among themselves. Developing the kinetic theory of gases in the case where the gas atoms or molecules experience inter-particle forces (like the van der Waals force) is more difficult. However, a world without interactions is an uninteresting place: most significantly for the black hole problem, gravity is an interaction, and so if the "string coupling" is turned off, no black hole could ever arise. Therefore, calculating black hole entropy requires working in a regime where string interactions exist. 👇👇👇 Extending the simpler case of non-interacting strings to the regime where a black hole could exist requires supersymmetry. In certain cases, the entropy calculation done for zero string coupling remains valid when the strings interact. The challenge for a string theorist is to devise a situation in which a black hole can exist which does not "break" supersymmetry. In recent years, this has been done by building black holes out of D-branes. Calculating the entropies of these hypothetical holes gives results which agree with the expected Bekenstein entropy. Unfortunately, the cases studied so far all involve higher-dimensional spaces - D5-branes in nine-dimensional space, for example. They do not directly apply to the familiar case, the Schwarzschild black holes observed in our own universe.

  • The effect of matter in the universe, is not unlike that of a marble in a fish tank. The volume of the marble increases the water level in the tank just as the volume of a particle increases the space in the universe. Another way to perceive this concept is as follows. Space and matter are flip sides of the same coin. without matter, space would not exist. The pressure the marble is under as it travels deeper into the water; is comparable to the gravity effect we feel in our relative position inside the space that is being created by the matter around us. At the atomic level, the space that a particle creates, has a very defined end to that space as the particle has a constant density. As two particles' spaces become entangled, the two particles combine to create a larger volume of space together that locks the two particles inside that space while any photon wave energy that enters that space becomes trapped as an electron. The edges of the space these two particles create is less defined as the edges that a single particle will create as the two particles in their created space also have each their own density that is varied in the space the two particles are trapped in. This effect is known as the "strong nuclear force". As more particles become entangled together in the space created and common to these particles, the effect of the strong nuclear force begins to weaken. On the scale of large planetary matter collected and common to the space created by that matter, we feel that same effect as gravity. Each time a measurement is taken, it does not convey the curvature and the variations of space that occurs as matter moves through space that is created by the matter that is moving through space that has been created by other larger masses the matter is moving through. Gravity is only the observation of the strong nuclear force from our relative position in the matter and mass of the planet we are in when we observe a measurement.

    • Ok..so everything and every force is a by product of mass / massive particles . Where is the mathematical structure for this theory? Who is the primary advocate for this theory?

    • @@lastchance8142 Mass is the measure of the electron, the particles in the atom. and the kinetic energy potential as the electron moves within an atom. The word "Mass" better explains things on a planetary level of the gathered atoms that have become entangled in the same space and become a planet. I suggest it would be more correct to say, "everything and every force is a byproduct of matter", not mass. Even the magnetic force can be explained by this "theory". When many atoms are aligned with their electrons in the same direction the "space" inside the atom opposite of the electrons is more capable of accepting any new photon wave energy that enters it. The language of modern physics designates an electron as having a negative charge because it can move between atoms. but it is actually only the space inside the atom that can be capable of accepting an electron or incoming photon waves and is seen as a negative because it is not an excited atom capable of releasing an electron.

  • 9:20I really like the realism of physicists when they say they don't yet understand how measurement works and the Standard Model prediction is confirmed by ... measurement. Anyway, I think physicists have a long way to go in understanding matter when you think that processing nuclear waste is just about burying it in the ground because you don't know how to transmute it into stable non-radioactive matter .

    • @@schmetterling4477 : all of these things are approaches that are more promising than string theory, but that have been inadequately developed. - one of the biggest things people keep saying is that they want a theory of "quantum gravity" that is just as dynamic as general relativity, and yet general relativity really _isn't_ that dynamic. what relativists do is they take einstein's equations to find _static_ solutions that are useful for their physical situations, and then they use those static solutions. well we already have a static solution generator; it's general relativity. and quantum field theory in curve spacetime can be fit to any of those solutions. instead of trying to find a quantum theory that's actually more dynamic than relativity, we could just roll with what we already have and see if these exotic situations that aren't well-explained by quantum field theory in flat minkowski spacetime (i.e. the proton radius) could be explained by QFTCS on different solutions of general relativity (which, if it works, would tell us that spacetime is quite curved at the tiny distances, and subject to the strong forces, within protons). - the nonlinear dirac equation is basically the dirac equation with a complicated extra term. there is apparently a version of this equation that arises from the non-zero torsion tensor of einstein-cartan theory. i would be interested to know whether this nonlinear term could help better describe situations like the proton radius problem or the muon mass. - there is at least one paper (and there may be others) that describes a version of georgi-glashow theory (i.e. that uses the SU(5) symmetry group to unify the standard model group SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1)) that nevertheless predicts stable protons. not long-lived protons, but permanently stable protons. proton instability is the major reason georgi glashow theory was rejected, and it's one of the reasons so many people have flocked to string theory (despite string theory yielding neither experimentally testable discoveries, nor a reproduction of what we already know). again, asking how this variant of georgi-glashow theory applies to as-yet-unsolved physics problems might shed some light on its utility. - entropic gravity might be the first successful attempt to smoothly transition from quantum fields to tensor fields. its two biggest flaws are that (1) it bakes in MOND, which still has problems with bullet clusters and (2) we don't yet have a clear enough understanding of the edge between the quantum and classical worlds to know whether entropic gravity's predictions are correct throughout the entire range of scenarios it can describe. i would like to see how well this hypothesis holds up in situations that the standard model (which lives in minkowski spacetime) fails, and i would also like to see comparisons between the original version of entropic gravity and an altered form that doesn't have MOND baked in. - yet another approach might simply be to focus on a chain of symmetries that could be useful for high energy physics, namely de Sitter > poincare > lorentz > galilean. the idea is to posit de Sitter symmetry as the fundamental symmetry group of spacetime (rather than lorentz symmetry), and then to explore the consequences of that change. i have also read that de Sitter symmetry also contains newton-hooke symmetry (which also contains galilean symmetry), and that newton-hooke symmetry could be used (in a way that sounds kind of similar to MOND) to explain galaxy rotation curves. i'm a lot less familiar with this hypothesis, but this one probably intrigues me more than the others. (i'd also be interested to see whether spacetimes with fundamental de sitter and/or newton-hooke symmetries could be helpful in understanding bullet cluster behavior, or whether they'd have problems that are similar to MOND.)

The same math will not predict when a volcanic eruption will occur. Should we then question if the Newtonian ball equation be fundamentally 'fatally' flawed and thown out (pun intended).

As such, everything we used to build the foundation of the standard model upon are not as solid as they once were. We as a society should not fear being wrong and instead fear not improving.
