Perhaps you missed the part of my very short comment where I wrote "I'm not dismissing that the work could have value, but the article makes claims that go far beyond anything that's been demonstrated."

You might want to re-read my original comment and take note of the issues I commented on. If you disagree with what I'm saying, why not respond on those points? I can't help wonder if your problem is actually that I'm interfering with your "I want to believe" circuitry.

I like to distinguish between actual science and mathematics and nonsensical metaphysical claims like "...giving up space and time as fundamental constituents of nature and figuring out how the Big Bang and cosmological evolution of the universe arose out of pure geometry." YMMV.

There's reasoned discussion of possible philosophical implications of the recent findings and then there's your post.
At https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6406551 I'm having a reasoned discussion with someone who responded more substantively to what I wrote. Your petty sniping is not reasoned discussion.
