The problem with contemporary (“cutting-edge”) physics is that it’s lately run afoul of Occam’s Razor; which, contrary to its popular depiction, does not state that the simplest explanation is the best, but rather that if your theoretical explanation something requires “multiplying entities” (i.e. making crap up) to work, it’s probably wrong. In the case of “cutting-edge” physics, the “entities” being multiplied are dimensions: as in, if your equations aren’t working, just add another dimension and re-calculate. As with previous failed theories, post-modern “cutting-edge” physics is engaged in infinite regression, also sometimes known as “turtles all the way down.”
