Then came the arXiv (49) articles, your homepages in Facebook; Twitter: Nature; Wikipedia; and YouTube: Superconductivity Near Quantum Critical Points Apr 21, 2016. Another YouTube video. an Introduction to Cooper Pair Formation via Charge and Spin Interactions (audio is very weak) was worthy.

Dear Prof. Dr. Gil Lonzarich:
Excuse me for this fourth uninvited email. About four years ago was the third, and four years before that for the second and first. I am trying!
Now, you’re a little younger than me and I returned to my first academic conference (Durham – 30th PASCOS) in 46 years this past summer. It was sensational. My academic interests were rekindled in 2011 when my nephew, then head of the math department at our local high school, asked me to take his geometry classes to teach the kids the “platonic solids.” He knew of my abiding interest in basic geometries and that I had manufactured tetrahedrons and octahedrons as math manipulatives. The kids had fun building models and asked if “Uncle Bruce” would come back again. He chose December 19, 2011, a Monday and the last day of classes before the holidays. Some of the kids asked how far within the tetrahedron and octahedron can we go dividing its edges by 2. I said, “Let’s find out.”
Today, that work has lead us to this: https://81018.com/. Might you comment for us?
Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce

Dear Prof. Dr. Gil Lonzarich:
I hope you are well and fine. Thinking about your comments about boundaries, “…the unexpectedly small size of the observed carrier pocket leaves open a variety of possibilities as to the existence or form of any underlying magnetic order…”, may I ask three questions of you?
1. Do you believe the Planck base units of length and time are actual physical entities that represent a different kind of boundary condition?
2. Might it be a boundary between that which is defined by the quantitative to that which is qualitative?
3. If continuity, symmetry and harmony are descriptions of pi (π), might pi (π) be a bridge given those three conditions describing both the quantitative and qualitative (finite and infinite)?
What leads me to these questions is our base-2 expansion of the Planck units (https://81018.com/chart/) whereby each quantum critical point becomes the beginning of another generation such that there are 64 new boundaries to be revealed prior to wave-particles-fluctuations, a domain that may well be a perfect fit for (1) Langlands programs, (2) string theory (including M-Theory, F-theory, type II and offshoots), (3) supersymmetry (SUSY), (4) loop quantum gravity (LQG), (5) causal dynamical triangulation (CDT), (6) causal set theory (CST), (7) field theories, (8) spectral standard model (SSM), and (9) all the hypothetical particles.
Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce

Dear Prof. Dr. Gil Lonzarich:
I recognize how difficult it is to engage the concept of this universe as some kind of an exposition of base-2, or Euler’s exponentiation, or the simple doublings of the Planck base units. So much of Cambridge University’s history has been tied to absolute space and time.
So, to know the truth and to seek wisdom, l believe it will take a person of your stature and someone from Cambridge to open or close the door of our idiosyncratic explorations.

Might you take a look and comment? I thank you.

RE: Your question, “What if each quantum critical point is just the beginning of another generation?”
Dear Prof. Dr. Gil Lonzarich:
We took the Planck base units of Length, Time, Mass and Charge and applied base-2 exponentiation. In 202 doublings, the chart is out to the Age of the Universe. It seems straight forward, however, the results are rather startling.
First, it is a simple, logical, mathematical and geometric map of the universe. I am not sure… are there any others?
By studying the numbers associated with each doubling, we see that most of the 202 doublings are about the early universe. Notation-143 contains the first second. Notation-197 contains the beginning of large structure-formation. All the numbers are here: https://81018.com/chart/
Though entirely idiosyncratic, I think there is something here.
1. Of course, the Planck Length doubling at one second, divided by the Planck Time doubling at one second is very close to the value of the speed of light in a vacuum. It is consistent with Planck’s initial equation for Planck Time. Yet, it is naturally also consistent within each of the 202 notations. Space and time appear to be derivative, quantized, and discrete.
2. There is a natural inflation that mimics the ΛCDM model.
3. All notations appear to be forever active and necessarily interdependent and appears to define the Now (Richard Muller and Carlo Rovelli).
We started this project in a high school geometry class in 2011 ( https://81018.com/home/ ) with just the Planck Length. We did not introduce Planck Time until 2014 and Planck Mass and Planck Charge until 2015. So, really we have just begun to study and attempt to understand these numbers in light of current theories within cosmology and physics. It is entirely provocative!
Even though it is idiosyncratic, is there any hope for it? The current homepage is my latest attempt to spotlight key ideas and problems. Thank you.
Warmly,
Bruce

Of course, you caught me with your key question: What if each quantum critical point is just the beginning of another generation?
Currently the Weinberg Group is finally studying it all down to the Planck scale:
