The algorithm does actually show real world 10x-19x improvements. I have a github repo with the full code example and tests and have issued a DOI for it, but if I share it on here again i'll probably get banned.

Oh, I can just do that? Do you have a recommendation for a journal that would be interested in a full refactoring of GR math?

And we have much more powerful computers and tools to help us learn as well... Taught myself a crash course in quantum mechanics with 11 hour youtube videos like this:

This is exactly the attitude I'm talking about. There is a "holier than thou" vibe. The idea that someone couldn't possibly have taught themselves is just objectively wrong. Some of the most important contributions in the history of physics came from people that were outsiders. Michael...

One of the biggest things I'm noticing about the physics community is that there are some serious barriers to entry. As a software engineer, i'm used to a much different style of community. Anyone can create and post open source code, and if it works well it gets adopted. People are generally...
