Well one out of three ain't bad. :-)

The point is not that you are exploring new dimensions. You would not be able to travel into these dimensions but you would be harnessing and "exploring" the forces of these dimensions.

Do not confuse space time four dimensional physics, or higher dimensional spaces like the proposed 6D and 8D, with alternate realities/parallel worlds. How dimension every came to mean alternate realit is beyond me, but the terminology was an invention of science fiction that has no relation to science fact.

Um, no, you need a new scientist subscription to read the article otherwise. ;)

In the comments on /., which is how I got here (someone replied to my post with a link), not on the front page.

If the link had been FP, I suspect all of LJ would have come to a screeching halt.

If not for the particle mass measurements the guy predicted I wouldn't be very excited.

It may come up every ten years...yet it has never been experimented with. As most know, strange science that bucks known science is scary to the world of scientists. Clearly, hyper-drive (the theory) is unproven, yet it will only be proven wrong or right with a proper experiment.

The mere fact that Dr. Heim successfully proved the order of predicting a particle's mass tells me that there is something VERY important here. He may end up being known as the father of "hyper drive" and intersellar travel. Which would clearly change the course of human evolution.


Yet the theorem has proved surprisingly powerful. The standard model of physics, which is generally accepted as the best available theory of elementary particles, is incapable of predicting a particle's mass. Even the accepted means of estimating mass theoretically, known as lattice quantum chromodynamics, only gets to between 1 and 10 per cent of the experimental values.
Gravity reduction

But in 1982, when researchers at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg implemented Heim's mass theorem in a computer program, it predicted masses of fundamental particles that matched the measured values to within the accuracy of experimental error. If they are let down by anything, it is the precision to which we know the values of the fundamental constants. Two years after Heim's death in 2001, his long-term collaborator Illobrand von Ludwiger calculated the mass formula using a more accurate gravitational constant. "The masses came out even more precise," he says.

Somehow I missed your compliment. Thank you :-)

my thinking exactly. rather unpleasant thought, even if titor has been successfully debunked.

Actually black programs are very secret and involve many people in key positions. Just ask the NSA whistle blower.

I wish I could tell you about it!!
