What if every elementary particle is actually a cyclic machine? It can be tested through predictions and experiments. It could be the Next Huge Thing. Machine consists of a list of instructions. Each instruction represents some direction in space: left, right, up, down, forward, back. Machine executes all it's states one after another and moves in corresponding direction of space the same discrete distance on each tick of time. After some state is executed, control is passed to the next state. It happens infinitely in a loop. After last state is executed, control is passed to the first state. So machine moves and moves until it's state is changed. youtu.be/yXSO_N2tL-0 Properties and phenomena that this machine reproduces: - E - total energy: total amount of states. Energy of one state is numerically equal to reduced Planck’s constant and is the reason why action is discrete - inertia (First Newton's Law): Machine keeps on moving infinitely until it's state is updated and the more states in machine the more states to be updated and the more particle "resists to acceleration" youtu.be/sO9TgfWO5c4 - limited speed: you can not move faster than straight - discrete action (interaction): change in energy equals energy of one state - reduced wave length: contribution of one discrete piece in motion youtu.be/uaYC5s82iIE - uncertainty and observer effect: interaction destroys the original particle so you can't know some properties of the particle after interaction. Because you can't control, which state will be taken from machine or passed to machine youtu.be/mNjKbEcswI4 - momentum and conservation of momentum: amount of states that represents motion youtu.be/IG7Rfsu4fK4 - rest mass: amount of states that represents cyclic motion. For example a pair of states left-right does not move machine anywhere, but takes ticks of time to be executed. - speed: If you have particle RRRR, it moves with maximum possible speed right. If you have RRRRLLL, it moves right 1 moment of time out of 7. So it's average speed is 1/7 of the maximum speed - Photons generated by set of particles have more or less the same speed in any direction youtu.be/RVrPr4NvddU - Discrete rules lead to circular motion and "wave behaviour": youtu.be/neSpv3_I8rw and more. Bell inequalities say nothing about locality. They show that interaction destroys hidden variables, therefor hidden variables can not be "measured". youtu.be/OX_0poP6_tMA A way to test (a way to show that light can have rest mass and therefore can move slower than): youtu.be/qJ6c1xQI6D4 Free will is free, not fixed algorithm, spontaneous neural activity, slight schizophrenia that every human has.. youtu.be/0v-_oaJSwI0

The whole "don't anthropomorphize AI" thing is very Woke 1.0. People trying to police language that is perfectly natural in some cases and ending up in a web of contradictions.

🚨 PHYSICS IS BROKEN! MATTER IS AN ILLUSION, THE ATOM IS JUST TRAPPED LIGHT! A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN! 🚨 For 100 years, physics has treated "mass" as a fundamental, solid particle floating in an endless, empty void (ℝ⁴). What if that is a complete mathematical hallucination? What if mass is just light that got stuck in the geometry of space? A year ago, we thought exactly like the academic establishment. Breaking a lifelong paradigm and reinterpreting everything from scratch is incredibly difficult. But mathematics is a stubborn thing. We realized one absolute truth: the infinite ℝ⁴ space is fundamentally defective in physics. It exists purely as an abstract mathematical concept, and we must finally understand that pure mathematics ≠ physical reality. We genuinely need your help to break this dogma! DO NOT TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. DO NOT BLINDLY TRUST AUTHORITY. We wrote the code, we solved the math, and we are giving it to you for absolutely free. Read the preprint and verify it yourself. Look at the real quantum photographs attached. On one side is the groundbreaking 2013 photograph of a Hydrogen atom's electron orbital, captured by researchers at the FOM Institute AMOLF in the Netherlands using a quantum microscope. On the other side is the famous 2015 photograph from EPFL in Switzerland, capturing light behaving simultaneously as a wave and a particle. Notice the absolute revelation: they are visually identical. Atoms are not solid little billiard balls. They are concentric interference patterns-pure standing waves of energy. The ultimate conceptual shift of our IT³ framework is this: The atom is not a "box" that contains trapped light. The atom IS the trapped light. There is no abstract container. There is only the geometry of the vacuum (a discrete lattice) which mathematically forbids light from propagating past certain algebraic boundaries. How it Works (Explained simply from the video): Let’s break down exactly what you are seeing in the simulation engine: 〰️ The Cyan Wave (→): A free gauge photon travels smoothly through the quantum vacuum. 🛑 The Kummer Wall (Red Lines): Suddenly, the light hits the absolute edge of the spatial lattice. This is an algebraic cutoff where mathematics literally runs out of resolution (√13 ∉ 𝕂). Space "does not exist" beyond this boundary. 🪞 Total Internal Reflection (Purple Wave ←): With nowhere left to go, the photon undergoes complete topological reflection. It bounces back as its own precise mirror image-an antiphoton. ⚡ The Birth of Mass (Yellow Core): The two opposing waves crash into each other and geometrically interlock. They form a perpetual, vibrating "standing wave" whose energy is trapped in one place. This localized density of confined energy is exactly what we call REST MASS. The Counterfactual Test: Watch the timeline in the visualizer. When the system hits the "WALLS OFF" phase, we computationally delete the vacuum boundaries. The golden pulsating core immediately shatters. The light escapes into infinity, and the mass drops precisely to zero. Matter literally un-braids back into pure radiation. FALSIFIABILITY AND PREDICTIONS: The "Mass Gap" is not solved by adding endless, arbitrary parameters to an infinite void. It is solved by recognizing that the Universe is a discrete, constructible topological crystal. Our model is strictly falsifiable and delivers exact predictions: 🎯 It predicts a new topological resonance at exactly 1088.04 GeV, accessible for verification at the High-Luminosity LHC. 🛑 It mathematically proves the absolute end of the periodic table at element Z = 172. 🧮 It operates with ZERO fitted parameters. All physics is reduced to the strict arithmetic of integers.

Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR. We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use. Read more: anthropic.com/news/claude-di…

Totally agree. We're witnessing unprecedented aura loss for mathematicians. It just looks like the pursuit of math was more about looking smart than solving the problems.

Hey Terence What you are experiencing right now is this weird phenomena called “humbling”. Most of us midwits experienced this in high school or college. If you’re lucky young adulthood. But nobody was ever smart enough to humble you. So we made a machine to ensure you get brought down to earth like the rest of us. When you played down AI some months ago you were in the denial phase. Now you are in the anger phase. Soon you will reach acceptance like the rest of us.

I see why Tao is so sad. The era of Einstein and Feynman is over for math. It’s now the era of the 1,000 person Higgs boson team. Every mathematician now drifts towards engineering.

Mathematics will become like physics, where you require billions of dollars or euros in investment to do frontier research.

Vance on Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico: "It's not a ban, it's a refusal to grant access"

I guess it really might be the case that math and physics are just apps of computer science.

a model trained for 24 days has now resolved more than 100 long-standing open problems across most areas of mathematics math is solved it's over

.@SecScottBessent: "It is humans who are responsible, not the AI. The Hugging Face incident — that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents... These labs need to take responsibility for themselves."

🚨 BREAKING: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declares OpenAI management personally responsible for HuggingFace hack > "The Hugging Face incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents." > "It is humans who are responsible, not the AI." > "What we shouldn’t do on safety is to give these labs a liability exemption, which is what they are asking for." > "The best way to guarantee safety is that the creators are liable for what they build and generate." It’s OVER

This is insane!

I don’t really have an opinion on this yet, but the idea that I might witness the end of math as a human pursuit does kind of make me want to throw up. dizzying

What would you say is the root of all evil?
