Physics Needs Help

Eric Weinstein delivers as a Big Think the message that

• Physics needs a new lone genius.
• Do we need a radical rethinking?
• Is there something wrong with the fundamentals?
• Is Einstein in fact wrong to slip in space-time?
• But the question is, why are they (the physics community) stumped?
• Is it (the help) going to come from some completely strange source, maybe somebody who is a self-teacher off the grid (like Einstein or Weinstein)?

Is there any reason to listen to (W)einstein, as an outsider? Yes, why not? The scene is open. In particular, Einstein's space-time mix appears to be a stumbling block and may well be ready for revision...compare with Many-Minds Relativity...
