Dr. Hadley's Quest: Parity Conservation in Nature

Dr. Hadley at Warwick has been trying to describe elementary particles by general relativity. He's had a problem that he ends up with something that conserves parity. So, naturally, he's questioning whether parity is or is not conserved in nature.

Now his idea is basically that the true parity should also include charge. And that way, the famous cobalt experiment that proved parity was violated actually didn't prove it. Here are some slides on the idea:

And here is an arXiv paper:

Any comments?
 

Thread 'The "electroweak eta meson"'

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 came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...

Thread 'Discussion of "Two-Time Physics" (I. Bars) and its potential cosmological implications'

Hello everyone, I am seeking to better understand the conceptual foundations and potential consequences of "Two-Time Physics" (2T-physics), as developed by Itzhak Bars and others. My interest was sparked by a recent paper that attempts to explain anomalous results in particle physics (apparent superluminal propagation of virtual photons) within the framework of 2T-physics: Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.02696 Key quote from the abstract: *"...the problem... can be solved naturally...
