    Graduate What Is Frank Wilczek's Vision for Understanding Quantum Gravity and the Grid?

    Seems to me as the container is the grid. Massless. And the grid/container is dynamic, and only energy. Where by a kind of entanglement the grid "makes" massless gluons and nearly massless quarks. They combine to protons, neutrons.

    Graduate C, P, and T of Braid Excitations in Quantum Gravity (Song He, Yidun Wan)

    Kea, are electrons in your opinion gravitationally clustered in your system? IMO, attraction - the only real everlasting principle - should be included in each analysis. dirk

    Graduate New stuff happening in Quantum Gravity

    Riemann originally used a crumpled paper sheet (becoming a multilayered ball) to explain hidden and added dimensions. You can interpret this as folded subsets (local origami), not just spheres. A 2D-membrane can create that way - locally - 3D-subsets. The 3D-subsets are however still...

    News Why do terrorists target civilians?

    That strategy versus Ira: That was 1980-90 but with Internet everything changed. You really think Aljazeera will stop talking about brutalities of occupying forces, and only will report futilities like that a waterpipe was fixed in the small village xyz, and stop reporting about carbombs, etc...

    Josh, your bring string theory in a religious perspective. Is that intentional? ;-)

    Graduate Blog Wars: Woit and Smolin vs Motl

    BW, Maybe it's very good marketing. Look how much is published. Every string expert published at least one book, to become mainstream popular, gain status and make extra money. Brian Greene had his own TV show. Interviews. It's big business; yes maybe playing on the human need to have some...

    Graduate The Trouble with Physics-Woit's review

    Yes superconductivity is very interesting. Some materials have superconductivity properties, even ballistic conductivity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_conduction" . Electrodes or wires can be deposited with graphene (sp2) or combined with sp3 (industrial diamond, glassy carbon). sp2...

    Graduate The Trouble with Physics-Woit's review

    Thanks Marcus. Very interesting article Now to go one step further. Quote for the article: "Smolin, Markopoulou and Bilson-Thompson have now confirmed that the braiding of this quantum space-time can produce the lightest particles in the standard model - the electron, the "up" and "down"...

    Graduate Lee Smolin's LQG may reproduce the standard model

    That is still too complicated. You can do it more easy. Starting from only one giant string/brane of spacetime.

    Graduate What Are the Hidden Properties of Spacetime in Cosmology?

    OK Marcus I will translate this night some parts and later the others. Indeed I believe "plooien' is related. We also use 'plooien' in the curtain or dress. Very similar toe 'plooien' is 'vouwen' (like folding something as an action, but also the ripples in the elbow or skin.)
