Things become infinite near the Planck scale. Killer?
 
BTW notice that their theory is not yet quantized.

There are a lot of variants of DSR (as you know!) and they
predict different things, but two features they all have in
common is they are not quantum theories
and they happen in flat space.
The bridge to General Relativity and then on to
Loop Gravity (quantized version of it) has not been
constructed yet.

I think it is about time for DSR to put out a feeler into curved space, and blend into some quantized model.

I don't know what Planck scale singularities could be
smoothed out during quantization.

If I had to choose with incomplete information I would
pick Kowalski-Glikman brand DSR over Magueijo brand. And
KimKimRimYee brand might not even get carefully considered.
But I am not making the choices! So I was glad to see their paper.
 

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...
