Like.
The problem with negative energy is not just "blasphemy", it is that you can have endless creation of something from nothing. You can go... -

The main problem is how to define probability density for particle positions. QFT avoids that problem by saying that the theory at the...

Good point. I have noticed that many anomalies have been resolved over the years. But two puzzles have stood the test of time -...

ohwilleke replied to the thread Undergrad What upcoming experiments hold hope for physics BTSM?.The reason that I don't feel like that is very promising is that there are many examples of big differences between inclusive and...

Skeptical.
One puzzle, possibly indicative of BTSM physics, that I was hoping would be mentioned in this thread, is the neutron decay anomaly. In... -

There's a paper from Shandong University in China which I think will be my approach to the neutrino masses going forwards, at least when...

An anonymous string theorist ("Stringmaster") showed up at Peter Woit's blog to state an abbreviated version of what they think this...

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...

ohwilleke reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Gravitational self-interaction: another attempt to replace Dark Matter with Like.
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...
