NEW SUBSTITUTION. “It is therefore theoretically possible to base a model of quantum gravity on neutrinos, which are spin 1/2 particles that, as far as direct experiment shows, could have zero mass and travel at the speed of light.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

BASELESS THEORY. “However, there is no direct evidence for a spin 2 graviton, and there is no theoretical reason why the spin 2 effects (essentially tides, but on a very small scale) cannot be obtained from a combination of other particles, such as two particles of spin 1 or four particles of spin 1/2.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

I am fascinated by ripples and reflections, ephemeral phenomena that are ubiquitous. View in LinkedIn

“EINSTEIN agreed with Newton that space had dimension: width, length, and height. Space might be filled with matter, or it might not. But Newton didn’t believe that space was affected by the objects in it. Einstein did.” https://www.amnh.org/explore/videos/space/gravity-making-waves/newton-einstein-gravity#:~:text=Einstein%20did.,calling%20the%20result%20space%2Dtime View in LinkedIn

A SOURCE OF GRAVITY. “It is usually assumed that the particle that ‘causes’ gravity is a spin 2 graviton. Here spin 2 means it has 180◦ symmetry, and the requirement for a spin 2 graviton comes from the formalism of general relativity, under the assumption that there is a direct translation from the force to a particle.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

“LIGO is gigantic, clever, and odd-looking, and it took more than $365 million and 30 years to develop. Its ability to measure infinitesimal distances could help put the “discovery” of gravitational waves on the front page of every newspaper at any moment and herald the next big round in our understanding of gravity.” https://www.amnh.org/explore/videos/space/gravity-making-waves/newton-einstein-gravity#:~:text=Einstein%20did.,calling%20the%20result%20space%2Dtime View in LinkedIn

SIMPLER EXPLANATION. “A quantum theory of gravity based on the principles I have put forward could potentially explain the large-scale structure of the universe without having to include any hypothetical dark matter in the model.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes) View in LinkedIn

KEY RATIO. “If there is indeed a mixing angle of this type between electromagnetism and quantum gravity, then its effect in everyday terms is to measure a ratio between inertial mass and gravitational mass. As long as this ratio is constant, we will never notice the difference.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this second and last weekend on this highly original unifying hypothesis in physics by a Cambridge trained mathematician. According to the professor, he has received a number of derogatory comments about the work. This is becoming a common pattern where mainstream scientists in various disciplines are very hostile to new ideas, particularly when they come from outside the orthodox club. This intolerance mirrors the society we are becoming, and has no place anywhere. https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn
