New paper today in PRL of S.S. McGaugh et al (see http://physics.aps.org/) which looks like support for Verlinde. Verlinde also citates earlier papers from these people. They say that only accelaration is the relevant parameter, just like it seems with Verlinde. Dark matter is locally coupled...

Not fully sure whether this is the same, but when you look at Mannheim's conformal gravity paper on conformal gravity (http://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.01399.pdf), equation (92) it rephrases the Einstein equation as T (universe) = T (matter) + T (Space) = 0 (with T(space) defines as -G(Einstein))...

The expansion created more horizon surface to store the extra information I would guess...

't Hooft is writing about CA and after that about conformal symmetry for space-time. Seems logical that he is currently working on discrete space-time versions of conformal symmetry (DCS). When you look at dcs you stumble upon ising models. Anyone a good reference for discrete cs? Could 't Hooft...

Hi Marcus, I am not from Berlin! Look at my picture! Don't you recognize the bold man with the moustache, from the first Solvay conference? No, not the other bold one from Berlin, who worked so hard in October 1900, chasing the quantum. On the buste the text says 'Door meten tot weten', and it...

I wonder what Wieland is doing! Mind you, he has not published in almost a full year! By the way, also very curious about the 'physics implications' paper of Connes et al ! Compare this to Smolin who is publishing all the time, not really sure about the physics progress though, and promising...

Wrong post. Sorry.

Well, I think the core observation and in fact the basis of this paper is the fact that EH gravity on the lightcone (see ref 61 of 't Hooft in the Mannheim paper) as well as the dirac equation for massless fermions (see http://www.dwc.knaw.nl/DL/publications/PU00017567.pdf !), both are conformal...

I am curious if we have already seen influences of this triality for the normal point particle view. Allthough I cannot find it explicitely in the paper, I suppose that Heisenberg's p-x uncertainty relation as well as the Born probability both need modification. If this would require some...

Try this for a start: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1410.6675.pdf from one of my favourites, Gerard 't Hooft berlin

Hi Garrett, Do you have an opinion about the SU(8) papers of Stephen Adler? It looks like he succeded in squezing in the SM, including the three generations, into this group. Opening a path to E(8). Remark from Stephen: “SU(8) gravity” multiplet has 128 boson and fermion helicity states, and...

Curious whether this would imply an explanation for all sorts of duality things between the 'two wings of the buttefly', like holography, EPR=ER, AdS/CFT? Berlin

It is amazing that Rovelli gets us thinking with every single paper he writes. Very original thoughts to me. The responses here however, seem weird to me. Why talk about 'Who we are' or what 'IT' will be? Don't we already know that we, defined as the known particles and energy in the universe...

New version of Adlers paper appeared. Happy to see his added hint about E(8). A faint proof that he actually reads this forum :) berlin

Today there will also be an announcement that the BICEP2 experiment include an anti-inflation effect for planet earth. Slowly but surely (!) the Earth is deflating with a gas identified as dark matter. You can see the daily effect of this deflation at every crossroad where the asphalt is...
