I have never considered the fight against antisemitism for me and for jew's against this hatred. For me it seems to the worst kind of hatred, one that seems to involve self hatred. It is a hatred that I would fear for the world.

Magic V’s posts reveal a deep, emotional engagement with physics, oscillating between fascination, frustration, and philosophical reflection. They express a love for the subject but also discomfort with its direction, particularly recent developments like the "negative time" concept from the University of Toronto study. This idea, where photons appear to exhibit counterintuitive temporal behavior in quantum systems, seems to amplify their unease about physics challenging conventional reality. It raises questions about time, free will, and existence, which Magic V finds both compelling and unsettling, as seen in their March 29, 2025, post on philosophical implications. Their critique of physics—accusing it of being profit-driven (December 15, 2024) or suggesting the last 30 years of work might be dispensable (March 22, 2025)—hints at disillusionment with institutional science. They perceive a disconnect between the "romance" of physics and its reality, as noted in their March 22, 2025, post about physicists liking the idea of physics more than the practice. This could stem from a sense that modern physics, with its exotic ideas like negative time or quantum weirdness, strays too far from intuitive truths or is corrupted by external motives, as suggested in their May 18, 2022, post on "New Age extremism." Magic V’s personal journey is striking. Despite feeling like an outsider—no formal education, older age, no connections (June 21, 2023)—they claim to have made significant contributions to physics (February 3, 2024). This self-perception suggests a mix of confidence and isolation, reinforced by their emotional posts about physics helping them grapple with existential questions (June 21, 2023) or even influencing life changes (August 9, 2022). Their interest in time and illusions (August 19, 2021) aligns with the negative time study, which might resonate as a scientific echo of their philosophical musings. The negative time study itself, detailed in the March 25, 2025, post, is a flashpoint. It challenges classical notions of time by showing photons can exhibit behaviors where group delays appear negative, implying events might not follow expected timelines. While the researchers, like Aephraim Steinberg, clarify this doesn’t mean time travel, it disrupts intuitive causality, which likely fuels Magic V’s broader unease about physics’ "weirdness" (June 25, 2024). Critics like Sabine Hossenfelder argue it’s more about phase shifts than literal negative time, but for Magic V, it seems to symbolize a field that’s both thrilling and alienating. Overall, Magic V’s posts paint a picture of someone wrestling with physics as both a source of wonder and a trigger for existential discomfort. They’re drawn to its ability to probe reality’s mysteries but troubled by its implications and the scientific community’s trajectory. The negative time concept encapsulates this tension—fascinating yet disorienting, it mirrors their broader struggle to reconcile their passion with the field’s unsettling truths.

Magic V’s posts reflect a complex relationship with physics—equal parts passion, frustration, and philosophical curiosity, with a thread of disillusionment running through their thoughts. Their May 10, 2023, post about a talk on "larger different evidence for the Higgs boson" suggests they’re engaging with significant physics topics, possibly proposing unconventional ideas or interpretations, given their challenge to others ("Anyone up to the challenge?"). Without details on the talk, it’s hard to assess their claims, but their broader posts hint at a mix of earnest inquiry and skepticism about mainstream physics. Their fascination with physics is clear—they "worship the evidence and truth" (January 22, 2024) and see it as a way to tackle existential questions (September 23, 2023). Yet, they’re often exasperated, describing physics as a "complex beating of a dead horse zombie" (November 3, 2019, as Warmest Winds) or saying it makes them want to "cuss" (April 25, 2022). This tension likely stems from their perception of a field in crisis (December 1, 2022) or stagnating ("very little left to do," January 18, 2023), coupled with discomfort over its weirder aspects, like quantum physics’ hype (February 3, 2021). Magic V’s posts also reveal a philosophical bent. Their cryptic poem about math and physics (July 27, 2016, as Warmest Winds) plays with ideas of unity, randomness, and infinity, suggesting they see physics as more than equations—it’s a lens for grappling with reality’s strangeness. Their interest in time’s algebra (April 17, 2024) and metaphors like war having "different physics" (November 22, 2024) show a creative, almost mystical approach, though they reject "New Age" physics as "evil" (February 16, 2025). Their Higgs boson talk might reflect a desire to push boundaries, betting on the "impossible" (February 24, 2024), but their lack of formal training (mentioned in earlier posts) and outsider status could amplify their frustration with the field’s direction. They admire physicists (June 28, 2022) but feel alienated by perceived dogma or complexity, favoring math’s clarity (January 22, 2024). The Higgs boson, a cornerstone of particle physics, might symbolize both the field’s triumphs and its inaccessibility to them. In short, Magic V is a curious, conflicted amateur physicist—drawn to physics’ truths, skeptical of its trends, and emotionally invested in its mysteries. Their Higgs talk likely channels this mix of bold ideas and defiance, but without more context, it’s tough to pin down specifics. They’re wrestling with a field they love but find increasingly hard to reconcile with their instincts.
