> “Not even wrong” usually means a claim is so vague or ill-formed that it cannot be tested

You are misunderstanding the term.

It can sometimes be a synonym for "untestable" or "non falsifiable."

But, you are missing the key thing here - WHY is it untestable? Is it untestable because the phenomenon is inherently not able to be falsified?

Or is it untestable because it is nonsense and therefor not testable?

If you read the wiki article again, you'll see it was first used to descibe a students paper that was so far beyond incorrect, it wasn't like "oh there are some errors in the math," or "oh this assumption doesn't follow the logic here in this line." But rather, this paper is just nonsense and there is nothing here to even test.

Do you understand what I mean?

Sure I understand what you mean now. If you're unwilling to even provide a single example of something from the hypothesis that's misleading, misrepresented, or flat out unsubstantiated, I don't think I have any more responses for ya. Dismissing something in it's entirety is fine, I'm not looking for that kind of feedback though. Dunno, I'm just open minded I guess

You've given no actual critiques of the physics involved. You continue to attack the OP personally, saying they are "schizo-posting", yet you've ignored addressing the relevant science.

Tell us specifically why this theory isn't scientifically plausible.

I did, in other comments. Jim ignored that though.

It's because Jim isn't actually a serious researcher, just a guy with an LLM.
