About LinkBacksLee Smolin’s new book (2006) The Trouble with Physics: The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next is a critique of pure scientific reason. In it, he proposed 5 smiling enigmas as problems to be solved in order to save physics the greatest embarrassment from centuries of greatest human endeavors in both science and religion.
Since Smolin is a theoretical physicist, his proposals are all related to theoretical physics. (1) Is to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics into a single complete theory of quantum gravity. (2) Is to resolve all foundational problems of quantum mechanics between observee and observer. (3) Is to describe both fermions and bosons by a single supersymmetry. (4) Is to discover ultimate plausible explanations how the values of the free constants in the standard model of elementary particles are chosen in nature. (5) Is to explain clearly both dark matter and dark energy. If they don’t exist then how can the standard model of cosmology be modified in order to incorporate its empirical findings and determined constants into the field equations.
Upcoming posts will address each and every one of these 5 problems single-handedly. Nevertheless, some of these resolutions are best described in the mathematical forms of Hadamard matrices with a principle of directional invariance for local infinitesimal motion.

5 smilin enigmas
Time independence: [∂E(g)]²=[∂F(a)×∂r(a)]·[∂F(b)×∂r(b)] and Mass independence: ¶a(t)·¶r(t)=c²

Re: 5 smilin enigmas
I take it Lee has not seen my theory. As far as dark matter I view those as free quarks, something that has yet to be observed.

Re: 5 smilin enigmas
I guess not. But in his book he seems to indicate that if he sees one theory he sees them all. I gather he meant experimental proof.

Re: 5 smilin enigmas
Hell even Einstein had to wait for the experimental physicist to prove his theories. I guess I'll be dead by then.

Re: 5 smilin enigmas The whole smilin connection could be resolved if consciousness was accepted as primary!

Not if you only have to wait the change in conscious doubt to conscious faith. Originally Posted by Profpat Time independence: [∂E(g)]²=[∂F(a)×∂r(a)]·[∂F(b)×∂r(b)] and Mass independence: ¶a(t)·¶r(t)=c²

Re: 5 smilin enigmas
OK we will root for Michael's consciousness theory then.

Re: 5 smilin enigmas
Well I hope you are right Michael. We could all use enlightenment and true awareness.
