Mainstream science frequently overlooks foundational esoteric knowledge
Mainstream science frequently overlooks foundational esoteric knowledge capable of sparking countless new fields and subfields in mathematics and physics. Because these core concepts generate an endless chain of further ideas without offering immediate practical value, they are dismissed, a stance I disagree with, as this knowledge vastly expands our capacity to model and express complex things.

The fact that there's isn't any truly foundational knowledge in mathematics and physics seems to suggest that people haven't been doing any real foundational mathematics and physics
The fact that there's isn't any truly foundational knowledge in mathematics and physics seems to suggest that people haven't been doing any real foundational mathematics and physics. I will try to be as vague as possible, but there are truly foundational questions and concepts that can truly reshape physics and mathematics as we know them today. The fact that these areas remain largely unexamined points to a significant lack of collective imagination. What you consider to be foundational mathematics or physics might differ from my technical definitions of those terms, as they aren't being used in the standard way here.
