The CMBR could very well not exist and light would still behave just the same.Ĭhapter 19: Gleiser goes so far as to call string theory "pointless" due to it's landscape of possible incarnations. The supposed ether was to be a substance, the wave disturbance of which we call light. This kind of poetry is nothing more than misleading. That's OK!Ĭhapter 16: (Talking about the CMBR) "The ether turned out to be light its self" - wrong! The ether turned out not to exist at all. Some possibilities, like the magnetic monopole, happen not to be a part of nature. No contradictions or problems in making predictions arise. The power of unification is describing nature more concisely, and with more precision.Įlectromagnetism is a PERFECT unification, if you ask me, because all of it's consequences have been tested. Obviously, no force of nature obeys the same symmetries as any other, otherwise the two would be one in the same force! The problem is, he defines "perfect unification" as "unbroken symmetry". Therefore, nature is telling us this unification is "imperfect". Unification between electricity and magnetism implies magnetic monopoles. This assertion disrespects the motivations of all atheist physicists ever! Unification is a principle of science, and owes nothing whatsoever to any god or gods.Ĭhapter 15: Gleiser's argument goes like this: As if the stumbling nonsense of Greek philosophy can give us ANY clue in the modern search for a more concise mathematical description of nature!Ĭhapter 14: Gleiser credits the "christian god" as the "foundation for the modern search for unification". The second chapter is about, I'm not kidding, Vampires.Ĭhapter 5: Gleiser talks shit about Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris, calling them "extremists".Ĭhapter 7: Gleiser compares Ionian "oneness" with the modern goal of unification between the forces. The (silly) argument from the first cause, for example.Īlso, the (false) assertion that to be without being a part of a divine plan, mankind has no purpose. The first chapter is riddled with theistic bull twankey.
