RE: Your ArXiv (34) listings particularly [2305.19438] JT Supergravity and Matrix Models with E. Witten, IAS, May 2023. An Inelastic Bound on Chaos (2019), Decoherence and Loss of Entanglement in Acoustic Black Holes (PDF). Also, your articles in Physical Review Letters 108(26) DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.261301 (2012). We have also studied your Homepage(s) which includes IAS, inSPIREHEP, Google Scholar, and Lectures at Washington State.

Dear Prof. Dr. Gustavo Turiaci:
Again our page about your work has been active with several hits today (55 overall). When I googled your name our post was the fourth after the school’s, inSpire, and Google Scholar. I suspect your students so I worked on the page a bit: https://81018.com/turaci/
Have you ever considered how the four irrational numbers might be involved with the foundations of physics? It has taken us fourteen years of playing around with pi (π) to ask the questions about the other three. Nobody will ever accuse us of being a quick study! The results are promising: https://81018.com/ and https://81018.com/big-ideas/
What do you think? We know how idiosyncratic it is. Might you have a meeting with graduate students who could tear it apart? I thought the AIs (Grok, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, etc.) would do it for us, but they have given us hope instead!
Sincerely,
Bruce

Dear Prof. Dr. Gustavo Turiaci:
I noticed that there was traffic on our page about your work: https://81018.com/turaci/ I suspect it is somebody in your class, PHYS 578 A: Selected Topics in Theoretical Physics. When I put “Gustavo Turiaci” in a Google search, our page comes up first. We have several links to your pages.
When surveying the problems in theoretical physics, do you comment about today’s incrementalism and do you challenge your students, “Incrementalism is not going to cut through the conceptual problems we have with dark energy/dark matter or with the data coming from Hubble and JWST.” With the growing number of open questions, it is time to redefine the foundations of physics.
Would you entertain a radical re-envisioning from your undergraduates, graduates, and postdocs? Here is my radical vision using simple concepts: https://81018.com/infinitesimals/ Would you give it an F or let me get away with a “B” for originality?
It would be great to have your students rip it apart!
Best wishes, good luck, and many thanks,

Dear Prof. Dr. Gustavo Turiaci:
Congratulations on your work within quantum gravity and field theory. I first discovered your work while you were at IAS. I recognize that you are not a Max Planck scholar per se, yet your work with Verlinde strings and blackhole physics certainly qualifies you to have considered the look and feel of the start of the universe.
Just two quick questions:
- Do you know anybody who considers Planck Time to be the very first moment of time?
- Could it be?
Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce
