SUMMARY

The Heim theory, discussed in the forum, is positioned between string theory and relativity but lacks experimental backing, leading to skepticism within the scientific community. Critics argue that it violates established experimental results, categorizing it as fringe science. The discussion highlights the need for more rigorous research and data to substantiate any claims related to Heim theory. Participants emphasize the importance of feedback and data in forming informed opinions on this controversial topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of string theory concepts
  • Familiarity with general relativity
  • Knowledge of scientific methodology and experimental validation
  • Ability to critically evaluate scientific theories
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of string theory and its implications
  • Explore the fundamentals of general relativity and its experimental confirmations
  • Investigate the criticisms of Heim theory through peer-reviewed articles
  • Learn about the scientific process of theory validation and falsification
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, theoretical researchers, and science enthusiasts interested in the intersection of advanced physics theories and their empirical support.

So after browsing through the internet I stumbled upon something called Heim theory.
To me it seems like something between string theory and relativity.
But there seems to be a significant lack of information considering the details, recent development or basis of a criticism (well apart from fact that it has no experimental backing at all, but that could be because no one did serious research).
Also I would like to ask about your opinion on the matter because there is never too much of a feedback.
Also please put some links regarding data you used to reach your conclusion, in your opinion posts as that would me help a lot during forming of my own stance on the matter.
Thank you a lot for your posts and remember: More data never hurts!

No, it's more between crackpottery and insanity.

It is in gross violation with many different experimental results, so is not taken seriously by anyone. You can search PF for specific examples.
