GROUNDED IN EXPERIMENTALISM. “Fancy mathematics is useless unless is it based on valid assumptions. The correct mathematical assumptions can only be obtained from correct physical principles. The correct physical principles can only be obtained from analysis of the crucial experiments.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

FIRST RADICAL IDEA. “We have the following important physical principle. Mass and spin are not intrinsic properties of a particle, but are properties of the relationship of a particle to its environment.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

SECOND RADICAL IDEA. “We have another important physical principle. Neutrinos are the means by which the gravitational force operates.” https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

THE CHALLENGE. “There is now, for the first time, a real prospect of a unification of the theories of fundamental physics into a Theory of Everything.” 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

“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

“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

The first modest blush of spring gives way to the promise of full summer. View in LinkedIn

“HEAT TRANSFER IN SOLIDS is typically conducted through either electrons or atomic vibrations known as phonons.” https://lnkd.in/eTH9gPjU View in LinkedIn

VACUUM HEAT TRANSFER. “In a vacuum, heat has long been thought to be transferred by radiation but not by phonons because of the lack of a medium.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1800-4 View in LinkedIn
