Dr. Drew interviewed Scott Adams recently, and Scott Adams mentioned the absurdity that Republicans went to overthrow the government on Jan 6, but they neglected to bring their guns. On the first or second anniversary of the event, that alleged oversight made the narrative appear absurd to me, so I made a "video" that was supposed to be audio from January 6, captured on a video camera from which the lens cap had not been removed. I'm posting it again just because.
While I was waiting on hold to talk with a human at the IRS, I decided to put some food out for the dogs. I set the full bag of dog food on a chair, and walked away to get the bowls. When I turned around I saw the bag slowly tipping over, spilling much of its contents onto the floor. Fortunately I had help cleaning it up.
This version of the detailed technical paper does not yet have sources listed, and still needs some polishing, but I want to put it out there because you never know what could happen. Whatever does happen, I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that at least its out there.
I guided 3 AI in writing this paper: Lumo, Gemini, and Grok. The Wave Physics framework solves discrepancies between quantum physics and relativity, explains dark matter and dark energy, and more.
A few years ago, just for fun, I started playing around with some ideas regarding a universal theory of energy, matter, etc. I toyed with it from time to time, but as I was getting AI to help me with a website called friendoflearning.com, a series of events led me to getting the AI to help with that theory.
The attached paper is largely the work of two AIs, Grok (xAI's AI assistant) and Gemini (Google''s AI assistant). I provided the early theoretical underpinnings, and guided the creation and editing of the document, but the AIs should get equal credit (at least). The only reason that my name is alone in the author credits is because of current publishing prejudices regarding AI.
I'd like to upload it to the arXiv server, but since I don't work at a university I need an endorsement from someone who has published in the physics.pop-ph (popular physics) category. If you know any one qualified and willing to give that endorsement, this is the link:

The main task for today is to begin revising McGuffey's Fourth Eclectic Reader. It may take a couple of weeks, possibly more. I still have to work at Publix, and next week I start a new job in the memory care unit of a rehab/nursing home facility, and I'll also be working at Publix at least one night.
After that I'll take a look at the double-slit experiment, and see if there is an interpretation that is consistent with my theory of wave physics.
Also, I came across the attached meme, which I had created two or three years (or so) ago. I thought I'd include it because I still like it.
