per article: "we appear to be driven to a holomorphic non-commutative twistor-geometry, even for Classical space-time.""

Gee whiz, isn't it obvious? I thought everybody knew that …

"Palatial Twistor Theory; in order to describe a general, Lorentzian, globally hyper-bolic 4-dimensional space-time in twistor terms, we appear to be driven to a holomorphic non-commutative twistor-geometry, even for Classical space-time."

Sounds pretty holomorphic to me.

I never realized there was such complex thinking about this. I just put my left foot on yellow and my right hand on blue without thinking.

Palatial Twistor Theory. Oh, my. I guess Occam’s Razor is out of favor these days.

I thought “Twister” was a good movie. Lots of twists and turns in its plot.

Next: Muppets and Wormholes - Can they exist together?

There is a strange connection sometimes between geniuses and certifiable insanity. Their own ego allows their imagination to let them assume that because they are so “smart” some fantastic imagination of theirs must also be a “smart” idea.

When math veers from looking at what is to pretending that merely because you can invent something, mathematically, it must exist, you know you have gone from science to fantasy.

Obvious case of plagiarism!
Seem to remember Joe Biden and John Fetterman proposing this same concept at their last press conference...
