Alright, I hear you, but lemme hit you with this: remember when the spin concept first came out? That wasn’t "traditional" either—didn’t even have a classical analogy, but it worked because it explained the observations, just like this paper does. It wasn’t about stickin' to the old ways; it was about solving the problem.
You’re talkin' like this paper throws out mainstream physics, but that’s not the case at all. I read the whole thing, and the author is using well-established principles—spontaneous symmetry breaking, the Meissner effect, and the third law of thermodynamics. These are real, solid physics ideas. There’s no wild leap into uncharted territory here, just a new take on how we look at the vacuum structure.
So, yeah, I get that you’ve seen people try things over the years that didn’t work, but this ain’t one of those cases. This is grounded in solid physics, just taking it in a direction that the old methods didn’t manage to crack. Sometimes it takes thinkin’ outside the box, but still using legit tools to get the job done.
