Of course, everything that I've said about the Schrodinger equation
applies also to the Einstein Field equation in terms of adding
stochastic terms (in the last post).

Readers may be slightly skeptical at this point, since I am presumably
the first person who has told you this, and others aren't talking.

Why me? Well, I'm 68 years old, and a Nonconformist, which means that
I'm not connected with a Bureaucracy, whether Big Corporation or Big
Government including Big Education. If a member of the Princeton
University faculty were to criticize fellow physicists or
mathematicians for being mostly or even entirely Ingenious Imitators,
he/she arguably would have to work every day alongside those people and
receive their angry glances if nothing else. Some people even are
threatened by angry professors in academia including being screamed at
in the hallway outside class. The only place I have to worry about is
the internet, and I can choose not to read graffiti artists or trolls
or screaming professors, for example based on the titles of their
replies.

Being older also has a curious effect depending on whether you've been
a Conformist or Nonconformist. If you've been a Conformist, you
probably attained Tenure in academia and are receiving retirement
pension from it, and if you still want to publish as you did before,
you would be wary about insulting everybody including the "impartial"
peer reviewers who happen to be professors in your field. If you don't
want to publish, you probably haven't noticed anything wrong anyway.

If you're a Nonconformist and have been for a long time, then you
probably didn't achieve Tenure in academia or arguably anywhere else,
since people outside academia tend to be as Conformist as inside (from
baseball or football to politics to sex to clothes to etc.). And if
you're over 65, you probably won't get hired for any job that pays more
than a security guard. So you might as well tell the truth, since
you're not going anywhere but down so to speak (well, down in life at
least). And in addition, you just might know the truth since you're
more alert to Ingenious Imitation if you're a Nonconformist.

Does this read something like the Salem Witch Trial scenario of the
1600s? Are old people really either receiving lucrative pensions or
"sentenced to death" indirectly or directly for Nonconformity? Yes in
my opinion, unless they're heirs or heiresses or have incredibly dumb
luck. I typically get 100% rejections, no matter what academic or
research or corporate or government job that I apply for. And I apply
very "correctly" except that I don't lie about wanting to imitate the
"boss" or "teamwork".
