My college roommate at UF, grad student in physics, was positive he was unraveling the grand unifying theory, positing an infinity of universes kissing each other in conjoined portals. (making that up because his math was only metaphor for me). Unfortunately, he spun out and was hospitalized later committing suicide. If he'd been female he might have been feted today?

Logic can be lethal... When I was 28, I was able to think 15-20 moves ahead in chess. I quit chess, because I had the overwhelming feeling that everything was predestined and I found the idea depressing. :)

Physicists have various theories and, depending on what their theory needs in order to be complete, they assume 7-13 dimensions. And that's what is called "hard science." :)

Specifics would be most welcome. :)

I may have been too concise on the details, but the post focused on mass manipulation, not on systems theory.

In the last few years of my academic teaching, one of the first things I had to tell my class was,

"If you don't understand something I say, how can you tell which one of us is stupid?" :)

Keep in mind, the Vedic 'Pythagorean' Theorem is another example of whitewashing, like Mount Everest (Sagarmatha), Mount McKinley (Denali), etc. etc.

For that matter, "Caucasian" is an invented construct. According to it, European whites and Arabs are the same race. Gypsies, more often than not, consider themselves white.

Dunno about mathematical skills, but males of all races find a white blond the most attractive. :)

It was a general question and everybody must have their own reply.

Life itself is only a potential that can produce good and bad alike, usually both.

Philosophy and politics are only spitting distance away. It depends on why and how one spits. (Just coined that "adage." :) )

Thank you for your appreciation.

Never heard of Mathis and I'm only familiar with the gist of Bolyai's work.
