I have submitted an essay to the FQXi yearly contest. This year's topic is "What is Ultimately Possible in Physics?".
My storyline is this:
Essay Abstract
In this essay it is argued that last century physicists have lost track due an irrational pursuit of higher math that was perceived to replace physical reality. A firm step back to the roots of physical theories and simple mechanical explanations is warranted to provide sight on the challenge of this essay contest. Independent contemporary authors show that this is possible. Once that is done it is shown that Unified Theories of physics were already hiding in plain sight.
The full paper can be found here:
http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/595
I'm sure the paper is going to be ridiculed by the other contestants which are mostly from universities. You should all vote (for me, off course). Public votes don't count, but it will show that the public has an opinion on this!
First, God decided he was lonely. Then it got out of hand. Now we have this mess called life...
The past is out of date. Start living your future. Align with your dreams. Now execute.

Nicely done. The more I read Miles stuff, the more I understand what it means. Your grasp is well represented by your paper. It was a very good condensed and meaningful observation of seperation vs unification. I feel the same way. Its already there, you just have to seperate it out.
Cheers Steven, well done.

I'm another contestant and I'm on the same line as you: we need to restore physics in physics, returning to the basics. I don't think you'll going to be ridiculed because your essay is well argumented. Apart from some quick '1' voters, there are constructive people on the FQXi forum. If you vote, read a broader panel of essays and have a balanced vote (gaussian with average 5-6).

I will send a message to David Thomson of the Aether Physics Model to submit a paper as well.
Thanks for the heads up.

Did you guys/girls already put in a public vote of support for me? There are only a few days left...
Actually I'm not doing too bad in the public rating, ranked 7th out of a field of 120. Seems the public likes the message that "
math is no replacement for reality" better than the fellow contestants
