In physics, gauge theory helps scientists take all the measurable things they know and align them in order to find commonalities or definitions…In this paper, physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki turn the universe at large into a bunch of overlapping, finite relationships of symmetry…their goal was to find the mathematically smallest model that could still hold up to all the rules required of a theory of unified gravity.
Wasn’t the n-dimensijnal framework disproven recently?
Either way, i hold more of a practical view; formulaes are a nice tool to describe observations. But if your formula makes up things fom thin air, it’s a nice thought experiment but doesn’t hold scientific value.
Nothing wrong with it as a method, so long as it makes some predictions we can then test for.
