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

“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
