Dear Dr. Joanne Baker:

That photon you encountered at the Hayward years ago certainly has legs! You need to dance in the light and see what happens. Ginger Rogers will sing your praises — “I can’t abide stupidity in myself or others.  Yes, stand tall for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

Let’s get more light on this subject — What is light? What is a photon?

There are 202 base-2 notations from the Planck base units to Now.  That’s simple math. The most simple expression of those units is an infinitesimal sphere — scale-invariant, Fourier Transform-enlivened with attractors-and-repellors. With sphere stacking, cubic-close packing (of equal spheres), that is a huge infinitesimal space to unfold Langlands, string-and-M Theory, SUSY, and so on. They all desperately need it.

I am no Fred Astaire, but let’s dance. It’s all spinning out of control. We need to find a new baseline.  Thanks.

Most sincerely,

Bruce
