Magnetars drag spacetime to power superluminous supernovae https://arstechni.ca/Q8qw #generalrelativity #astrophysics #supernova #magnetar #Science #Physics

1/n Notes on #UAP Discussions : This particular exploration is a milestone. If we map what they eventually wind up talking about to vexing questions in current #Physics we have a direct confrontation with #GeneralRelativity, #QuantumMechanics, and the applied mass- energy firewall problem that lies at at the heart of several open problems in #Cosmology and the SM. It should be noted that the intuition of #Engineers in this case is capable of beating #Physicists to the punch.
There is a bit…

This is way above my pay grade, and I've only read the article, not the actual technical work underneath it (because my maths is insufficient to know what it's talking about, so there's not a lot of point). But it sounds really interesting.

I've never heard of "observer patch holography" (note typo in slug text), but a theoretical framework which has just a single free variable but lets you derive general relativity and the standard model, correctly predicting a bunch of magic numbers that we input as free variables into the standard model, is interesting as hell.

Maybe someone smarter than me has already looked at this and debunked it. Sabine doesn't seem to have done a video on it (or I missed it). And "one guy with four information theory axioms solves all of physics' problems" is definitely on the Hollywood-script end of the plausibility scale, but who knows? Weirder things have happened.

@cenobyte - thought of you, of course.

Unfortunately, this fails in both #physics and #theology.

The physics failure is in skipping part of the full energy–momentum relation. Energy does not imply mass. It implies mass or momentum. Photons have energy, but they do not have mass, for example.

The theology failure is that the Christian conception of God (the Father) is external to spacetime, i.e. transcendent. There's no metric tensor to apply. There's no general relativistic description for the relationship between God and the physical universe. General relativistic concepts like black holes do not apply.

Then you have the issue of God (the Son) as intercessor to deal with. Sins don't get sent straight to God the Father.

Good try. No cigar, though.

Today's #paperOfTheDay is "Why there is Nothing rather than something: A theory of the cosmological constant" from 1988. Like yesterday's paper, it deals with the intersection between quantum field theory and #generalRelativity, but the 30 years between them clearly show. Coleman's 1988 paper is an argument in the style of that time (which structurally is quite similar to much of the older #renormalon literature): Heuristic manipulations of formal objects such as the wave function of the universe, or divergent sums over all spacetime geometries. The outcome of this argument is that if #wormholes exist (caused by quantum effects at a scale that is much smaller than observations, but larger than the Planck scale), they can drive the cosmological constant to zero in an Euclidean path integral formulation of general relativity. As always with Coleman, the language is quite funny and frank about the paper's limitations: He writes "Although I find this theory in many ways very attractive, I must honestly stress its speculative character. It rests on wormhole dynamics and the Euclidean formulation of quantum gravity. This is doubly a house built on sand. [...] the Euclideon formulation of gravity is not a subject with firm foundations and clear rules of procedure; indeed, it is more like a trackless swamp". Observations like these have by now, 30 years later, led to a style of theoretical physics that is much more systematic and mathematical than in the 1980s, but also sometimes less intuitive. #dailyPaperChallenge https://doi.org/10.1016%2F0550-3213(88)90097-1

`The Lense-Thirring effect, a prediction of general relativity, implies that massive rotating objects like Earth can slightly "drag" spacetime, which could affect the pendulum's oscillation. This effect, though theoretically significant, is currently too small to measure with a Foucault pendulum.`

GR vs MOND - not competing theories, both emerge from 7D geometry.

New paper: Kaluza-Klein reduction splits into GR (metric) + MOND (scalar sector).

7D Einstein-Hilbert → Einstein's equations + AQUAL.

Prediction: lensing = dynamics. Testable.

I guess I'm #writing again, because yesterday I brainstormed a bunch of ideas for #book three, (Moon,) and then I woke up at 2:30 AM, realizing (I think) that I had messed up the #generalrelativity between #books one (Atmosphere,) and two, (Ocean.) This, after I spent a whole lot of time trying to make it work during the writing #process. I have a tenuous grasp on the #theory. Wish I had a #physicist friend I could #brainstorm with. #physics #question

I've come up with an equation that describes the early universe and how it was created. I've described and shown how symmetry breaking occurs due to black hole structure

I'm currently being considered for Mensa here in Australia because of my Quantum Mechanical Diagrams
