Silly Smolin wants to revolutionize the concept of time but sillier
Damour believes that Divine Albert has revolutionized it enough. On
the other hand, sillier Damour believes in Lorentz violations and
constants that vary. Yes, string theorists are definitely the silliest
members of Einstein criminal cult.
