The FQXi Inaugural Essay Contest (Summer 2008):
“THE NATURE OF TIME”

Thanks!
I think I will submit an essay too.

I have just posted in my blog “Did the Clock Tick?” https://www.physicsforums.com/blog.php?b=271 10,000 words.
It looks like I will need help to condense this to meet the guide lines.

“Essays must be submitted as PDF documents. The length must exceed neither 5000 words of text, nor 10 pages, including figures and references. Color figures as well as hyperlinks within the document are acceptable. Although FQXi will accept works from anyone anywhere, the essay must be submitted in English.”

You could help and add a part to this essay by looking at the impact on LAMBDA, and other constants if the dimensions of our universe were greater or less than now.

If we won a prize, I would use my part to pay for a “Physicsforum Upgrade”.

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...
