Ashoke Sen and Nima Arkani-Hamed: (12:41) Einstein's special relativity has been very successful so string theory should be consistent with its principles. On the other hand, (1:02:29) Einstein's space-time is doomed, doesn't exist and has to be replaced.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U47kyV4TMnE
Nima Arkani-Hamed (06:11): "Almost all of us believe that space-time doesn't really exist, space-time is doomed and has to be replaced by some more primitive building blocks."

That is, the consequence, Einstein's spacetime, is wrong, but the principle from which it has been deduced, Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate, is gloriously true, Divine Einstein, yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity.

If it were not for the millions they already have, Ashoke Sen and Nima Arkani-Hamed would join the choir of poorer Einsteinians:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuxFXHircaI
Michio Kaku, Brian Cox, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Greene, Lisa Randall: "Light travels at the same speed no matter how you look at it. No matter how I move relative to you light travels at the same speed. No matter who is doing the measurement and no matter what direction you are moving the speed of light is the same. The speed of light is the same no matter what direction or how fast... As you travel faster time slows down. Everything slows down. Everything slows down. Time slows down when you move. Time passes at a different rate. Clocks run slow. It's a monumental shift in how we see the world. It's a beautiful piece of science. It's a beautifully elegant theory.. It's a beautiful piece of science. It's a beautiful piece..."

Einstein's concept of time, the logical child of Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate, is dead wrong:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013...reality-review
"And by making the clock's tick relative - what happens simultaneously for one observer might seem sequential to another - Einstein's theory of special relativity not only destroyed any notion of absolute time but made time equivalent to a dimension in space: the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it until we get there. This view is a logical and metaphysical dead end, says Smolin."

http://www.bookdepository.com/Time-R.../9780547511726
"Was Einstein wrong? At least in his understanding of time, Smolin argues, the great theorist of relativity was dead wrong. What is worse, by firmly enshrining his error in scientific orthodoxy, Einstein trapped his successors in insoluble dilemmas..."

Yet Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate itself, although entailing absurdities, is gloriously true, Divine Einstein, yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity:

http://www.independent.com/news/2013...7/time-reborn/
QUESTION: Setting aside any other debates about relativity theory for the moment, why would the speed of light be absolute? No other speeds are absolute, that is, all other speeds do indeed change in relation to the speed of the observer, so it's always seemed a rather strange notion to me.
LEE SMOLIN: Special relativity works extremely well and the postulate of the invariance or universality of the speed of light is extremely well-tested.. It might be wrong in the end but it is an extremely good approximation to reality.
QUESTION: So let me pick a bit more on Einstein and ask you this: You write (p. 56) that Einstein showed that simultaneity is relative. But the conclusion of the relativity of simultaneity flows necessarily from Einstein's postulates (that the speed of light is absolute and that the laws of nature are relative). So he didn't really show that simultaneity was relative - he assumed it. What do I have wrong here?
LEE SMOLIN: The relativity of simultaneity is a consequence of the two postulates that Einstein proposed and so it is deduced from the postulates. The postulates and their consequences are then checked experimentally and, so far, they hold remarkably well.

Einsteiniana's profiteers will have to take pattern by John Baez (who once played the role of Tomas de Torquemada in Einstein religious cult):

https://edge.org/response-detail/11356
John Baez (2008): "One of the big problems in physics - perhaps the biggest! - is figuring out how our two current best theories fit together. On the one hand we have the Standard Model, which tries to explain all the forces except gravity, and takes quantum mechanics into account. On the other hand we have General Relativity, which tries to explain gravity, and does not take quantum mechanics into account. Both theories seem to be more or less on the right track - but until we somehow fit them together, or completely discard one or both, our picture of the world will be deeply schizophrenic.. (...) So, I eventually decided to quit working on quantum gravity. It was very painful to do this, since quantum gravity had been my holy grail for decades. After you've convinced yourself that some problem is the one you want to spend your life working on, it's hard to change your mind. But when I finally did, it was tremendously liberating."

Perverted logic in Einstein's schizophrenic world: The millionaire rejects the conclusion (spacetime) but glorifies the premise (Einstein's 1905 false constant-speed-of-light postulate) from which the conclusion has been derived:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyRO8Wv4BaY
The Doom of Space Time by Nima Arkani-Hamed: "Back then it was determinism that had to be lost. Today it is spacetime that has to be lost, and we have to figure out how to make do without spacetime. (...) By insisting on describing the physics in the way that makes spacetime front and center, we hide things, we obscure things, we make things that are simple complicated... (...) The structure of standard physics are clues to a new way of thinking about physics without spacetime."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U47kyV4TMnE
Nima Arkani-Hamed 06:11 : "Almost all of us believe that space-time doesn't really exist, space-time is doomed and has to be replaced by some more primitive building blocks."

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/expe-text.html
Nima Arkani-Hamed: "When first encountering relativity, what really struck me about it more than anything else was actually how incredibly simple the underlying ideas were. The big point wasn't hidden in some minutiae of some deep mathematics, or these stunning, very striking assumptions - that the speed of light is constant and that physics looks the same in all frames of reference - and from these two seemingly innocuous assumptions come this incredibly different worldview than the standard Newtonian picture of the world."

Max Tegmark will no longer sing "Yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity". Physics is dead, brothers Einsteinians are leaving it, and Max Tegmark has decided to become a savior of mankind (even more millions will come now):

https://occupycorporatism.com/home/m...killer-robots/
"Meet the Man Who Might Save Humanity From Killer Robots. Elon Musk has given $10 million to Max Tegmark's Future of Life Institute (FLI) to investigate the viable risk that artificial intelligence will become sentient killers. (...) Tegmark is a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the brains behind that "ultimate ensemble theory of everything" which supposes that "all structures that exist mathematically exist also physically" - with no free parameters. This theory holds that should a structure be complex enough to contain self-aware substructures (SASs), those SASs would be subjectively perceive themselves as existing in a physical "real" world as is explained in depth in Tegmark's book, "Our Mathematical Universe". Incorporating this theory into the investigation into artificial intelligence's propensity toward sentience, Tegmark and FLI have opened the project to scientists researching the benefits of robotic intelligence."

The good old days:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PkLLXhONvQ
Max Tegmark: "We all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity. Yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity. Everything is relative, even simultaneity, and soon Einstein's become a de facto physics deity. 'cos we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity. We all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity. Yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity."
