Gamma Ray Anomaly Could Test String Theory
exploder writes "String theory is notorious for its lack of testable predictions. But if the MAGIC gamma-ray telescope team's interpretation is correct, then a delay in the arrival of higher-energy gamma rays could point to a breakdown of relativity theory. A type of 'quantum lensing effect' is postulated to cause the delay, which is approximately four minutes over a half-billion year journey." Ars's writeup is a little more fleshed-out than the Scientific American blog posting.
Why does Peter spend so much time talking about Lubos et al, inestead of Moving Dimensions Theory?
MDT is the best-tested theory of all time.
MDT predicts that an object's velocity through spacetime is always c. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
MDT's postulate: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, in units of the planck length, at the rate of c.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts that the only way to stay stationary in the three spatial dimensions is to move with a velocity of c relative to the fourth expanding dimension. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts that the only way to stay stationary in the fourth expanding dimension is to move with the velocity c relative to the three spatial dimensions. This is because the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial diemnsions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the equivalence of mass and energy. Matter, when rotated into the fourth expanding dimension is foreshortened, and it appears as photons.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the constant speed of light. The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c. Hence the speed of matter rotated into the the fourth dimension is c. No matter how fast the source is moving, the second the photon leaves thes ource, it is carried by the fourth expanding dimension, so its speed is always c, independent of the source.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts wave-particle duality. As matter expands in the fourth dimension in the form of a photon, it appears as a spherically-symmetric wavefront. Hence Young's double-slit experiment and interference. When the wave--the matter being carried along by the fourth expanding dimension--is perturbed, it is collapsed, and brought into the the three stationary spatial dimensions. Hence the quantum nature of all energy.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts entropy--the fundamental motion of the universe is the spherically-symmetric wavefront defiend by the fourth dimenion expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions--hence entropy. Two particles at a similar origin have a probability to move apart.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
Hence all radiation fundamentally appears as spheircally-symmetric wavefronts propagating in the three stationary spatial dimensions.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT predicts the null vector for photons, as well as the - (minus) sign in the space-time metric. As the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions, the only way to have zero interval is to move with the origin--at the speed of light.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
MDT unfreezes time. Time, as we consider it, is not the fourth dimension, but it is an emrgent property of a fourth dimension expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions. This confusion of time with the actual fourth dimension has lead to Godel's paradox and the block-universe, which although they have provided Paul Davies with a lucrative living for his fantasies and science fiction, are not real. Barbour gets close to this.
The above has been shown in experiment, after experiment, after experiment.
General Relativity freezes time--it is a tiny loop at each given instant, but one second later, that loop has a radius of 186,000 miles.
Moving dimensions theory
what do bloggers know about string theory? Seriously? PUHLEEZE And can we stop talking about what the bloggers are saying? My word.

And now for your poetry reading, or blog entry, or pathetic ramblings
UVAZHAEMY CHITATEL!
on April 26, 1986, in one hour 23 minutes 40 seconds chief shifts block No. 4 Alexander Akimov Chernobyl reactor ordered silence on the end of the day, held before the power to stop the planned repairs. The team placed in a calm working atmosphere, centralized control does not fix any safety or warning signal of the rejection of the reactor parameters or servers. Reactor Operator Leonid Toptunov withdrew buttons A3 cap protective against inadvertent mistake clicking, and pressed the button. This signal 187 rods reactor began to move down in the active zone. At mnemotablo fire light bulbs, and come in motion arrow signs of rods. Alexander Akimov, standing vpoloborota to Remote Management reactor, seen this, also saw that "traffic" indicators Unbalance AR metnulis "left" (his phrase), as it should be, a decrease reactor power, turned to a panel of security for who watched for a pilot.
But beyond a thing not to predict and most unbridled imagination. After a small decline in the power reactor suddenly on the rise with increasing speed, there are alarms. L. Toptunov yelled an emergency increase in power. But do something, it was not in its power. All he could, made-controlled button A3, COR rods were active in the area. No other means at its disposal there. Yes, and all others. A. Akimov sharply yelled : "Glushi reactor! " Gbarpa to the desk and obestochil electromagnetic clutches drives rods. Step right, but futile. Indeed, the logic of COR, which is all the elements of logic, worked correctly, pins were in the area. It is now clear after clicking A3 action was not true, there was no means of salvation. Another logic refused!
In short followed by two large explosions. Refills A3 stop traffic going through half way. They go nowhere.
In one hour 23 minutes 47 seconds, the reactor was ruined as a result of thermal explosion caused by dispersing power to instant neutrons. This collapse, limit the catastrophe, which may be at Power Reactor. Her osmyslivali not, it is not prepared, no technical measures to localize to block and the station provided. No and organizational measures.
Confusion about, bewilderment and a complete misunderstanding of what and how much has happened, not owned by us. Navalilis absolutely urgent cases, which replaced the head of all other thoughts.
Looking back, I do not know how to say-long (it has been more than five years) or recent : Everything is still in front of you - is reasonable to say that we will do everything possible in the extreme conditions. More to do anything it can be useful. No panic, no psychosis, I do not observe. No individual is not an unauthorised left arm, leaving only on the order. All we got out of this test with serious injuries health for many fatal.
It must be emphasized. These were professionals, clearly aware of the danger in the environment. Do not walk away. While acknowledging the skills, courage, self-sacrifice on the brink of the staff after the accident, it should not be ignored. I am not objective traced the origins of this behaviour, to explore the subtleties of psychological consequences in the extreme, it is unacceptable conditions. This is so good for a writer. My task easier : to show why people find themselves in such circumstances that they have identified all their mental qualities. Was this
It's not narcissicism if it's true!
