Yep it's a well cherry picked quote indeed. Unfortunately Lawson forgot to mention that MMY had a habit of contradicting himself to suit his audience and for every quote like this I could find hundreds that demonstrate he believed consciousness is the *base* of all things. > What about her claim that (SU)5 has been falsified and > therefore Hagelin was wrong, when Hagelin's theory was > actually Flipped (SU)5?

It was the first UF idea to be testable. The theory is that the symmetry break required for unification would create a detectable proton. Detectors were built deep in mines and were monitored for 25 years before the idea was abandoned as the proton never appeared. Einstein, Hawking both failed in their lifelong quest to find the UF. Perhaps I should join in this blog and tell them that John Hagelin is claiming to have finished this work. That would raise a laugh from any genuine scientists. Maybe even post a link to JHs lectures on the UF, that would be an interesting counterpoint to the nonsense coming from the TBs. But most of that is self-evidently rubbish and the author is probably astonished at the way people are underlining her point about QP without even realising it.
