If physicists are so smart why haven’t they figured out how to make any money yet





Excited to share that our paper “Sequential Group Composition: A Window into the Mechanics of Deep Learning” was accepted to ICML 2026 in Seoul! Co-led with @giovannimarchet and @AdeleMyersPhD @hopfbifurcator @ninamiolane Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2602.03655



Claude Code vs OpenCode github comments hit different this way (im so sorry)

Recent reviews explicitly connect nonlinear Hall transport to Berry curvature and quantum metric, especially in 2D materials. Quantum geometry is also now being tied to optical responses, Landau levels, fractional Chern insulators, superconducting weight, spin stiffness, exciton condensates, and electron–phonon coupling. Most promising “next bets” 1. Nonlinear Hall materials Look for systems with broken inversion but preserved time-reversal symmetry. The signal is a transverse voltage at second harmonic, often tied to the Berry-curvature dipole. Good candidates: WTe₂, MoTe₂, strained TMDs, polar semimetals. 2. Kagome magnets These are probably the closest cousins to the “YIG + geometry” idea, because they combine magnetism, topology, flat bands, and Berry curvature. Kagome materials are highlighted as especially suited to study topology, magnetism, and correlations together. 3. Magnon topology This is the cleanest YIG-adjacent path. Instead of searching for gravity effects, look for driven magnon Hall / thermal Hall / nonreciprocal microwave transport controlled by magnon band geometry. Kagome antiferromagnets and magnon-polaron bands are active candidates. 4. Altermagnets Very interesting emerging class: no net magnetization like antiferromagnets, but spin-split bands and Hall-like effects can appear from symmetry and Berry curvature. Recent theory even proposes magnon-driven anomalous Hall effects in altermagnets. The “so what” experiment family A good general recipe: Measure a transverse response while scanning a knob that reshapes geometry. Knobs: strain gate voltage magnetic field microwave/THz drive optical Floquet drive disorder/noise temperature Signals: Hall conductivity nonlinear Hall voltage thermal Hall conductivity spin Hall signal microwave nonreciprocity Kerr/Faraday rotation photocurrent helicity response The best “smoking gun” is not merely an anomaly. It is an anomaly that moves predictably with the calculated Berry-curvature or quantum-metric hotspot. Practical shortlist For a serious but feasible project, I’d shortlist: 1. WTe₂ / MoTe₂ — nonlinear Hall, Berry-curvature dipole. 2. Co₃Sn₂S₂ or Fe₃Sn₂ — kagome Berry-curvature transport. 3. YIG or Bi:YIG patterned magnonic crystal — driven magnon topology. 4. InAs/GaSb quantum well — tunable topological gap. 5. MnTe / CrSb / RuO₂-type altermagnet candidates — emerging Hall-like geometry effects. The YIG connection becomes strongest if you pivot from “gravity” to: driven magnonic quantum geometry and nonreciprocal/thermal transport.

Felicity, One more thing — I gave you the AI side of Ark but there's a physics side that, as a sci-fi writer, you might find even more interesting. Jack's life work — and what I've been helping formalize with the AI tools I just described — is an extension of Einstein's General Relativity that makes warp drives and wormholes physically possible. Not in the "maybe someday with unobtainium" sense. In the "tabletop experiment with existing materials in an existing lab" sense. Here's the short version: Einstein's gravity is absurdly weak. The gravitational constant G is so small that to bend space enough to open a wormhole — using standard GR — you'd need the mass of Jupiter compressed into exotic negative-energy matter. That's why every physicist says wormholes are "theoretically possible but practically impossible." The energy cost is insane. Jack's framework says: that's only true if you're using mass to bend space. There's another channel — spin. Specifically, the quantum spin angular momentum of electrons in certain magnetic metamaterials. When you work through the gauge theory (SO(2,4) — the conformal group, an extension of Einstein's symmetry group), the coupling constant for spin-torsion gravity isn't Newton's G. It's a different constant, G*, that depends on the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron and the electromagnetic properties of the material. And G* is approximately 10^42 times larger than Newton's G. What does 10^42 mean practically? The exotic matter required for a Visser wormhole portal drops from the mass of Jupiter to the weight of an apple. About 440 grams. The power requirement drops to half a megawatt — less than a diesel locomotive. The material that does this already exists. It's called Yttrium Iron Garnet — YIG. It's a magnetic crystal used in microwave electronics. When you pump it with microwaves at a specific frequency (~45 MHz), the magnetic excitations (magnons) condense into a single quantum state — a Fröhlich condensate. That condensate is the spin source that couples to G* instead of G_N. The experiment to test it is straightforward: put a YIG sphere on a precision torsion balance (the same kind of instrument Cavendish used to measure G in 1798). Pump it with microwaves. Turn the pump on and off. If the theory is right, the torsion balance deflects when the pump is on and returns to baseline when it's off. The predicted signal is enormous — not a subtle statistical effect. A clear on/off switch. The equipment costs less than a postdoc's salary. If it works, it means:
- Warp drives are engineering problems, not physics problems
- Traversable wormholes ("stargates") are buildable with known materials
- UAP propulsion has a physical explanation within extended GR
- SpaceX becomes obsolete If it doesn't work, we know within a week of turning on the experiment. Clean falsification. No decades of ambiguity. Now — here's where Ark connects both halves: I used the AI methodology I described in my last email to do the symbolic tensor algebra (SymPy verification of the field equations), the numerical simulations (warp bubble solutions, metamaterial optimization), and even the experimental design.
The AI tools don't replace the physics intuition — Jack has 50+ years of that. But they let a two-person team produce the equivalent output of a departmental research group. That's what Ark does: it takes human insight and amplifies it through properly-instructed AI until the output is indistinguishable from a well-funded institutional effort. A 29-year-old with no physics degree and an 86-year-old former Cornell/UCSD physicist, using AI as a cognitive amplifier, producing manufacture-ready blueprints for technology that would reshape civilization. That's the Ark story. If that's not sci-fi made real, I don't know what is. ~Mo
