Dear Prof Leifer,
Thank you for the good essay on "quantum geometry"
You are observations are excellent, like...
1. "The experimental foundation is, say, material provision for the correctness of theoretical schemes that gives rational explanation of observations."
2. "Einstein's words.... "God does not play dice" . But it is not only the methodological instruction. The true deep reason is his battle with agnosticism hidden in statistical approach."
3. "Einstein, discussing reality of gravitation field, notes that distinguishing "real" and "non-real" has no meaning."
4. "The sharp contradiction with classical formulation of the inertia principle gives QCD with the phenomenon of the asymptotic freedom of quarks. These massive objects directly break our classical understanding of inertia principle due to a new reality of the strong interaction."
5. "This means that objectively physical state of body (temporary in somewhat indefinite sense) does not depend on the choice of the inertial reference frame."
Etc..
For your information Dynamic Universe model is totally based on experimental results. "physical state of body does not depend on the choice of the inertial reference frame." was proved by Dynamic Universe Model.
Many papers and books were published by the author on unsolved problems of present day Physics, for example 'Absolute Rest frame of reference is not necessary' (1994) , 'Multiple bending of light ray can create many images for one Galaxy: in our dynamic universe', About "SITA" simulations, 'Missing mass in Galaxy is NOT required', "New mathematics tensors without Differential and Integral equations", "Information, Reality and Relics of Cosmic Microwave Background", "Dynamic Universe Model explains the Discrepancies of Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry Observations.", in 2015 'Explaining Formation of Astronomical Jets Using Dynamic Universe Model, 'Explaining Pioneer anomaly', 'Explaining Near luminal velocities in Astronomical jets', 'Observation of super luminal neutrinos', 'Process of quenching in Galaxies due to formation of hole at the center of Galaxy, as its central densemass dries up', "Dynamic Universe Model Predicts the Trajectory of New Horizons Satellite Going to Pluto" etc., are some more papers from the Dynamic Universe model. Four Books also were published. Book1 shows Dynamic Universe Model is singularity free and body to collision free, Book 2, and Book 3 are explanation of equations of Dynamic Universe model. Book 4 deals about prediction and finding of Blue shifted Galaxies in the universe.
With axioms like... No Isotropy; No Homogeneity; No Space-time continuum; Non-uniform density of matter(Universe is lumpy); No singularities; No collisions between bodies; No Blackholes; No warm holes; No Bigbang; No repulsion between distant Galaxies; Non-empty Universe; No imaginary or negative time axis; No imaginary X, Y, Z axes; No differential and Integral Equations mathematically; No General Relativity and Model does not reduce to General Relativity on any condition; No Creation of matter like Bigbang or steady-state models; No many mini Bigbangs; No Missing Mass; No Dark matter; No Dark energy; No Bigbang generated CMB detected; No Multi-verses etc.
Dynamic Universe Model gave many results otherwise difficult to explain
Have a look at my essay on Dynamic Universe Model also...
