On your new position at Harvard. Via notevenwrong ("All you have to do is snip out the snark").
 
Physics news on Phys.org
impressive appointment. 5 years, eventual promotion to tenured full prof,
Harvard (possibly the string-world's best)

the last time I looked at Lubos personal homepage it said
he was a space alien
so I am naturally wondering if the appointment at Harvard
conforms with their stated Equal Opportunity policy
(women and space aliens are especially encouraged to apply)
or whether it was entirely based on merit.

congratulations Lubos!

also I'm impressed by the speed news travels

which I guess is around six my time
and selfAdjoint had already relayed the news to PF by a little before eight
less than two hours lagtime
 
Well, I got up late this morning, or I would have been quicker!.
 

Thread 'Gravitational self-interaction: another attempt to replace Dark Matter'

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...

Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'

A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...

Thread 'Twistors and celestial holography'

Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
