TL;DR
What would be some experiments that could falsify Barbour's Shape Dynamics?
Shape Dynamics implements nicely Mach's principles. But how well does it fare when it comes to Quantum Mechanics? How can it be experimentally distinguished from other theories?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Do you have a link explaining Barbour's Shape Dynamics?

I think this one is a good introduction https://arxiv.org/abs/1105.0183

I also really like this talk by Gomez, one of the founders:

I thought of posting this under Particle Physics, but it does go slightly beyond standard model, and in a way that could point to some larger theories, so I post it here. "A path to confine gluons and fermions through complex gauge theory" (Amaral et al 2020) "New picture on the mesons mass relations" (Amaral et al 2025) I'll try to summarize. There is a conventional explanation for the masses of the pions, kaons, and eta mesons. Eight of them are Goldstone bosons of the broken chiral...
