The corruption of truth by corporate science. ‘We made it’ said CERN’s TV anchorwoman, when the first collisions showed we were not going to die of a black hole yet… A ‘giant leap for mankind’ said CEO Rolf Hauer, from his refuge at Tokyo. Since we ‘were still here’… During the morning it was clear that physicists were worried, as their control of the beams was minimal and if someone knew there was a sizeable risk of black hole formation were them. My predictions, based in fractal physics showed that black holes will only form beyond 10 Tev; but stable strangelet atoms (dibaryons) could be formed slowly and fall to the Earth on the 7 Tev range, especially when lead to lead collisions happen this fall.
So I did not expect an explosion on the spot, but as we have repeatedly said in this blog, a slow dripping of dibaryons towards the center of the Earth, till they start to eat inside out this planet, which will be shown by a sudden peak of Earthquake activity. CERNerds are the prototype of this neo-paleolithic scientist. Like this: Theorists Attempt To Determine Whether Particle Physics And String Theory Can Be Reconciled. A new toolkit of equations will help theorists determine whether a promising agreement between particle physics and string theory is fact or fancy. The research is reported in Physical Review Letters and accompanied by a Viewpoint in the September 21, 2009 issue of Physics.
Physicists long for a single theory to describe the universe, but so far can't shoehorn Einstein's gravity and quantum mechanics into one elegant mathematical box. In 1997, a physicist named Juan Maldacena raised hopes of unification by proposing that the four-dimensional kingdom of a specific quantum theory was merely the border of a five-dimensional spacetime ruled by string theory. The possible harmony tantalized string theorists, but eluded proof, because the two theories were almost impossible to compare. Now Nikolay Gromov, Vladimir Kazakov, and Pedro Vieira have assembled a hefty toolbox of equations to help the thwarted string theorists tackle the question. No 'simple theory of everything' inside the enigmatic E8, researcher says.
The "exceptionally simple theory of everything," proposed by a surfing physicist in 2007, does not hold water, says Emory mathematician Skip Garibaldi. Garibaldi, a rock climber in his spare time, did the math to disprove the theory, which involves a mysterious structure known as E8. The resulting paper, co-authored by physicist Jacques Distler of the University of Texas, will appear in an upcoming issue of Communications in Mathematical Physics. In November of 2007, physicist Garret Lisi published an online paper entitled "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything.
" Lisi spent much of his time surfing in Hawaii, adding an alluring bit of color to the story surrounding the theory. Garibaldi was among the skeptics when the theory hit the news. So was Distler, a particle physicist, who wrote about problems he saw with Lisi's idea on his blog. Lisi's paper centered on the elegant mathematical structure known as E8, which also appears in string theory. Einstein's Method. This is a book about the conceptual foundations of modern physics. It looks at some traditional problems of interpretation (wave-particle duality, the Copenhagen approach, entanglement, nonlocality, the constant velocity of light) from a different perspective.
If you are familiar with the mysteries of quantum physics, then you might want to start with either wave-particle duality or quantum nonlocality. If you wish to understand 'Einstein’s Method' then continue below. This book has almost no equations since its focus is the philosophy of physics and not physics itself. Thank you for visiting and consider leaving your own comments or questions. There are many questions in modern physics that remain essentially unanswered. So what is Einstein’s method and how did he use it? Einstein’s method is fairly straightforward. What is ontology and how can an ontological inquiry help us regarding the problems of modern physics?
