2022 is the most concrete date in the pack, and it sits inside a story about science’s own fragmentation.
The big problem isn’t just physics — it’s the way everything stays in separate boxes
The central theoretical challenge described here is the persistent fragmentation of modern Western science’s explanatory frameworks. Physical systems are handled by general relativity and quantum mechanics, which remain mathematically incompatible, while biological organisms, cognitive processes, and social structures are kept at separate, non-communicating levels of analysis.
That’s a neat little administrative disaster for reality: the universe apparently did not agree to file itself by department.
Gobble's Take: If reality is one thing, our explanations are still living in different time zones.
