SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Richard Hoagland's theories regarding torsion fields and their implications in hyperdimensional physics. Hoagland references experiments conducted by physicist Bruce DePalma, who demonstrated that a spinning concrete disk at 8,000 rpm affected the timekeeping of an Accutron watch and the tuning of an FM receiver. Despite these intriguing results, both Hoagland's and DePalma's findings remain controversial and lack widespread acceptance in the scientific community. The conversation highlights the need for published research to validate such claims.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torsion fields and their theoretical implications.
  • Familiarity with hyperdimensional physics concepts.
  • Knowledge of experimental physics, particularly involving rotation and mass.
  • Experience with timekeeping mechanisms, specifically Accutron watches.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of torsion fields and their applications in physics.
  • Study Bruce DePalma's experiments and their methodologies in detail.
  • Examine the effects of rotation on timekeeping devices and related experiments.
  • Look for peer-reviewed papers on hyperdimensional physics and torsion fields.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in experimental physics, and anyone interested in the intersection of rotation, time, and theoretical physics will benefit from this discussion.

I was watching a show about 2012, and someone named Richard Hoagland was giving theories about torsion fields. He was talking about mass changing due to rotation, and he could measure this by measuring frequency of the tuning fork of an accutron watch. He performed an experiment similar to the one below (taken from an interview with him, BTW):

One of the keys to hyperdimensional physics is rotation. Bruce DePalma, a physicist, experimented about 20 years ago with rotation of massive systems. He did an experiment with a 30- pound concrete disk spinning at 8,000 rpm, shielded by mu-metal to prevent EM interference. Suspended over the disk he had an Accutron watch. The Bulova specs say that the watch gains or loses about 1 second per year. When Bruce brought the watch near the disk, it lost 1 second in 20 minutes. He repeated the experiment with an FM receiver, tuned to a station. When the radio was brought over the spinning concrete disk, the radio de- tuned.

His experiment was similar except it involved the rotation of the earth. Even though they are both getting results, they are still not believed. Why is that? Does anyone have knowledge about this topic? Do you believe this or do you see flaws in the theory?

Since this claim could easily be reproduced and tested, without a published paper, any discussion is a waste of time and energy.
