I haven’t been blogging lately because there’s
simply no progress being made in fundamental physics, so there’s nothing to
blog about. Even Sabine Hossenfelder, one of the most prolific physics bloggers
still blogging frequently, has had little current news to comment on for her
blog Backreaction and is resorting to pedagogical posts on physics fundamentals,
or alternatively, complaining that her physics colleagues are ignoring the need
for new approaches to break the impasse in fundamental research in favor of
doing the same things as always to ensure a steady paycheck. I don’t know what
she expects them to do, and neither do they, and neither does she.
The problem, of course, is that all of these
brilliant physicists are totally ignorant of the true nature of spacetime and
the role that consciousness plays in the universe. They can’t change their
approach because they think there is no other approach. It’s frustrating to me,
too, because my blog has always been and still is all about telling them what
they need to know.
Sabine’s latest
post is The Black Hole information
loss problem is unsolved. Because it’s unsolvable. That’s just wrong. If
she knew the true nature of spacetime she’d know that gravitational collapse
can’t lead to the singularities that are supposed to exist at the centers of
black holes. What are there instead are Planck-density cores formed from all of
the matter that has fallen in. No singularity, no information loss.
