they go out to a volcanic island in the Atlantic, everybody takes off their normal professional clothes, and they run around having fun, guzzling cocktails of speculation.

sounds OK to me :biggrin:

You have a point about Dan Oriti's talk, and maybe also about Florian's.

I will guess that Daniele's Azores talk is the same one that he gives tomorrow in Beijing (7 August, invited plenary session). It is a serious well-prepared presentation of something he has taken the lead in developing.

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...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
