FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on a remarkable paper by an Emeritus Professor of mathematics on a bold explanation for a new theory of physics that redefines spin and mass and does away with dark matter. Modern physics is about provocative fresh ideas, and this is certainly one of those. https://lnkd.in/e-atRRat View in LinkedIn

SOME BASICS. “Is mass quantized? So first: Mass is a type of energy. Not all energy is mass. This is a common logical jump and is simply not correct. Energy (nor frequency) is not quantized in general and therefore mass is not quantized.” https://lnkd.in/eT8XSyRv View in LinkedIn

CAVEAT. “Handling turbulence in such a context of quantum gravity may also prove to be challenging.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

THE MOMENT. “Thus, arguably, at the end of inflation, quanta of spacetime foam could be converted into ordinary particles as required.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

ORIGIN OF MATTER. “This argument may be strengthened, if, as has been proposed, quantum gravity can actually be the origin of (ordinary-) particle statistics, and that infinite statistics (the statistics obeyed by quanta of spacetime foam) is the underlying statistics.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

UNDER 1%. “Our understanding of how diet affects health is limited to 150 key nutritional components; these nutritional components represent only a small fraction of the more than 26,000 distinct, definable biochemicals present in our food—many of which have documented effects on health but remain unquantified in any systematic fashion across different individual foods.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-019-0005-1 View in LinkedIn

PRECISELY. “Since the Grand Unification era is around ∼10(−34) sec., which, as an order-of-magnitude estimate, should also mark the end of inflation, giving enough (say > 65) e-folds of inflation.” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn

ORIGINS OF MATTER. “Let us follow the folklore: at the end of inflation, the energy stored in the quanta of spacetime foam would be converted into hot ordinary particles (as well as dark matter).” https://lnkd.in/eA85pA5X View in LinkedIn
