ohwilleke reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Gravitational self-interaction: another attempt to replace Dark Matter with Like.
Um, that's the paper this whole thread is about. I already compared it to Deur's work in post #4.

Personally I'm skeptical of Deur's claims, but his work doesn't look to me like handwaving.

Tim: at 38 pages, this is a big paper. Apologies, I've only looked at the abstract and the discussion, with my historian hat on. It...

I'm not sure I said that. A sufficiently accurate numerical simulation (i.e., one that included all of the terms whose magnitude is...

It is. On an initial read this paper looks like nothing more than handwaving. That's the general opinion that Deur's work was trying to...

Yang-Mills is just ordinary quantum field theory; the strong and weak nuclear force are both Yang-Mills forces. But the reference to a...

This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper...

Informative.
Just to be clear, I claimed the problem was that chiral gravi-GUTs want to use SU(2)R as the gravitational gauge group, but in... -
It was actually P-violation (discovered in 1956). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP_violation#P-symmetry
