From a cursory reading of his approach, it would seem he is trying to use images of the global projected on the local.

An extraordinaly admirable ideal, and potentially giving us great insight, but it strikes me already that there are probably an infinite number of spaces and functions that could give us the same projection.

I spent alot of time then, and now, in topology.

And I have pinged you often, and frequently, with my ideas about your posts.

When I was a young child, living in a quonset hut in Conesus, NY, I remember wondering why is there only three dimensions? My answer at that time was "because that's all we need"

And I recall my father talking to my mother about some kind of test I took, and my mother saying "Oh, my God!" (We were very poor) and it had something to do with my IQ test.

Which, the last test I took, was 158

And one of my most bittersweet memories is my professor, Ernst. R. Ranucci, in college, who taught "Advanced Plane Geometry". He was by no means a great methematician, by he was tremendous in being a problem solver, he loved heuristics. I was eating lunch with a fellow classmate and commented that he must hate my guts by now. The classmate said, "Dave, you got it all wrong, he told me that in his thirty years of teaching high school and college math, you are the most creative student he ever met!

So tell me, give me some assurance, that the path that is being followed will yield the answer. I dare you. I dare your pretentiousness.

Out of the mouths of babes...

The next revolution in physics will be dramatically different from what has come before. It stands to reason that the obvious has been discovered.
