Physicists and economists are pissing me off


When was the last time you ever saw a Higgs boson with a wristwatch? Anybody? Never, there is no friggin time in the universe, none, it is completely an artificial variable humans created. The vacuum only knows what is going on in its nearby neighborhood, and I mean nearby, like a quarter of a Planck distance away is all it knows. The vacuum does not know pi of e (Euler's number).  The vacuum does not do integral calculus. One might think physicists would get a clue. 

Economists like time, oh we do intertemporal optimization, they say.  Bull shit, wealthy people watch the the number of investors lined up to buy and sell, they are like the vacuum, looking locally. How did humans get so deluded? Isaac Newton, he and his grammar of calculus, it is nothing more than a scripting language, it uses undefined transendental constants for crying out loud. It has nothing to do with out finite universe or our finite economy, it is simply a short hand way of expressing relationships.
