james randi sits in a very special position in my life
( i apologise for the gratuitous bio
but it has been brought to my attention lately
that i have narcissistic personality disorder
so i am excused of blame! )
when i was in sixth grade
the teacher taught debate by picking controversial topics
and randomly assigning students to the sides
always bivalent
oui ou non
at this point in my life
i had a very clear goal of what i wanted to do
i wanted to be an archaeologist
in particular an egyptologist
people in my family
had claimed seeing ufos and ghosts
and i was fascinated about stories
of mummy curses
the bermuda triangle
esp
my favorite book of the time
was madeleine l'engle's
" a wrinkle in time "
with her witches tesseracting and it
the teacher assigned me to a debate on the existence of esp
on the side contraire
and drove us to a local university library
this one very smart boy got assigned the pro side
and we were both very despondent
because we weren't on the side we wanted
and begging the teacher to exchange had not helped
i tried to give him a bunch a books i was excited about
and he found this one book he wanted me to read
it was randi's book on geller
i went home and was shocked by all the details in the book
as you know
he goes through many of the phenomena called esp
telekinesis
remote viewing
not just uri's claims
and shows how they all could be lies
--
i was humiliated
and angry that i could be so fooled
i dragged my mom to another local library
and looked up anything i could find
about a new word i was obsessed with
debunking
ufos
bermuda triangle
i did not want to be a fool
when the debate came
i had mechanisms
and refutations
and confidently tore apart all oposition
the teacher really made me feel very good about my performance
shortly afterward i picked up a time/life
science publication on atoms
with full color action representations
and learned words like quarks
that propelled me
towards a teenage obsession with pop physics and math
i became a ***** about my skepticism
overly confident that as i studied physics
i was building a wall of "truths"
so i would never be the fool
i started reading ayn rand
0000000000oo0000000
but as i became more interested in quantum mechanics
the newtonian explanations of skeptics
started making less sense
as i started looking for my certainty in logic
which all of the skeptics pretended allegiance
i made a misstep
instead of studying the edifice of classical
because of the chance arrangement of books at the library
i was instead reading the polish logicians
i was reading about ontology building
model testing and bisimulation
i started finding nonclassical logics
quantum logics
constructive logics
...
how propositions were to be tested
in these new and varied descriptions
was nothing like the skeptics described
eventually i chanced upon robert anton wilson
and his descriptions of the activities of psicop
and their purposeful ignoring of data
indicating differences in personalities across birthdays
and other very antiscientific behavior
by randi and others
i felt cheated all over again
...........**^
so i understand your list here
i understand the need to revert to experience
as the foundational impetus of science
but i hope you understand
that as with the modern rewriting logics
of quantaloidal agents
future experience may cause reinterpretations
that invalidate the assumptions
of any of the items you list
particularly the first 5...

"the higgs mechanism has always been intimate
to explanations of matter and mass
and it has been a regular source of quantum gravity speculation"
Too vague. I am showing exactly how the two key objects
of Einstein-Cartan theory emerge from the Goldstone phases
of the Higgs fields of the physical vacuum in analogy to the
velocity of superflow in helium.
and i think this is a very promising approach
the tendrilmind of modern speculation
has been feeling out many sakharovian possibilties lately
and they do appear to be converging on similar formalisms
let me follow your recent reference to
http://qedcorp.com/APS/EinsteinCartan.pdf
and the basic curvature form
ab ab a cb
R = dS + S /\ S
c
for a spin connection
(a, b)
M
which describes the coordinate flow
now i like starting with curvature
because it is what links directly with fluid approaches
so i can see why sakharov has as well
but you are correct that it is more the goal
than a beginning
and the because it is termed to be emergent
it is implied it is a result
of the more fundamental zero modes
the fundamental point of all emergent gravities
is that fluid interpretations exist
for physical symmetries of action
this is also key to torsion gravity
most simply seen in the teleparallel equivalence theorems
so you choose the goldstone coordinates
of a coherent higgs field
ie. you take the boost orbit
i i i
x -> x + a
as generated by the near induction fields
in virtual coherence
and utilise the isomorphism
between the diffeomorphism group
and the group of local translations
i agree with mark that this may be a hidden affine approach
but you are using the full perturbation term
C Lambda d(Theta /\ Phi)
where Lambda encodes the spatial flow of the zeropoint
in place of a more explicit per-degree expansion
as is more common for affine expansions
and i think this choice of yours
helps make some calculations tractable
normally
i'd expect to see the boost symmetry
in terms of the exponential generators of translations
i x_i T^i
sigma = e
used to break global translation symmetry of a premanifold P
( basically the n-dimensional group of diffeomorphisms )
down to its quotient P/P_0 by the
homogeneous subgroup at a point
but then the parameterisation usually explodes
into a complex product of exponentials
over the localisation algebra components
and it gets hard to extract meaningful information
and in particular
if one takes the maurer-cartan 1-form
in some affine sigma model
the naive curvature vanishes
and one must work in the physically relevant
curvature of the broken subgroup
which makes it hard to interpret the coordinates unambiguously
h dehnen, h frommert, and associates
showed that any excited higgs field
can be viewed as mediating
a scalar gravitational interaction
but their mechanism gave a massive (yukawa) form"
Interesting. However I have shown how the
c-number tetrad and spin connection 1-forms
emerge from the Higgs vacuum itself. The
excited Higgs particle states are not relevant.
I do propose a Salam strong short range
tensor gravity in addition to the weak long
range component. I do get spin 2, spin 1 &
spin 0 excited quanta on mass shell from
entangled pairs of spin 1 A^a tetrad quanta.
These are small zero point corrections -
quantum noise - off mass shell, and far-field
radiation on mass shell I suppose for the
excited states you allude to above.
some use excitations
some use condensations of various vacuum modes
some use pure flow interpretations of coordinate fields
my purpose here was to contrast and delineate
your theory from the background in the hope of
just these kinds of explanations from you
( and discussion from others )
"v alan kostelecky and others have interesting papers
on the spontaneous breaking of lorentz and cpt symmetries which are also generated by a typical gamma matrix term that can be found in extended standard models and string theory"
Good, why don't you write a detailed review
paper on all this? :-)
actually
kostelecky's work was the reason behind my undergrad work
on simulating three-body recombination for antihydrogen
it was his work on cpt violation that motivated cern
and much of the writeup of the background theory
ended up a review paper... :p
however
what is strange is that at the time
i was known around the department
as the crazy punk girl
who argued bohmian mechanics with all the professors
or used to claim there would never be gravitons detected
so why my advisor gave me this crazy project
that would introduce me to even stranger theories
instead of something respectable like sonoluminescence
i could never figure out
last year i revisited my advisor
and saw a copy of
" speakable and unspeakable in quantum mechanics "
on his shelf...
"in particular
lorentz violation may provide a mechanism
for a massless graviton
and naturally seem to describe some of the features
of dark matter and dark energy
and the cosmological constant"
Please explain this. "Lorentz violation" to me has
two possible meanings.
1. Locally gauging the global 6-parameter Lorentz
symmetry of all non-gravity actions. This gives
the independent "torsion gap" dislocation defect
field to 2nd order of Einstein-Cartan theory. It
also adds new curvature disclination defect terms
beyond what is in Einstein's 1915 GR that is
simply from the local gauging of the 4-parameter
translation group.
2. Spontaneous breakdown of the global/local
Lorentz group in the physical vacuum i.e. hiding
the symmetry in the actions of all the non-gravity
fields (Sidney Coleman, Erice Lectures, 1970').
it is the latter that they study
in particular they study the spontaneous breakdown
of the local lorentz symmetries
in the vacua of string theories
and other standard model extensions
it is an interesting alternative view
of gravitons as nambu-goldstone modes
as feynman once remarked
the adventure of our science of physics
is a perpetual attempt to recognise
that different aspects of nature
are really different aspects of the same thing
"there are many approaches to quantum gravity
that explore higgs-like mechanisms"
That may be, but none of them make testable predictions,
except for my model as far as I know. Also mine is
simpler - Occam's razor with the least amount of formal
excess baggage. What is good for pure mathematics is not
generally good for theoretical physics. There is a creative
tension between their primary objectives. They go in
opposite directions. Math seeks generalization getting rid
of physical concreteness.
"similarly
gasperini, hehl, and sardanashvily
have shown the emergence of various gravities
with actions coupling to
torsion
curvature
and other connection-derived terms"
Good, where is the physics? What do they predict
and explain from real phenomena and data?
that is very much like you
jack
you have always had an engineers approach
at one time
this use to be a hallmark of american science
in stark contrast to the more abstract mathematics
of european and asian sciences
( where such generalisations apply
ie. to populations and institutions, not individuals )
of course
that means putting more reality-claims on the line
which has become anethema to modern physics
for some strange reason
"additionally
there is the holographic programme
seeking to explain the surface terms in the hilbert action
in terms of a fundamental description of information"
That's already in my model from the git-go.
My model is holographic. Primacy of spacelike 2D
nonbounding cycles enclosing point defect nodes
of the 4D world crystal lattice in the 3+1
projection down from 9+1.
exactly
and this is one of the reasons why
ghost modes are so useful here
boost transformations in the broken theory
can generate negative pressures
that do not dissipate upon expansion
just like the cosmological constant
given constraints on the pressure-to-density
easily derived from ghost condensates
one finds holography emerges automatically
"the whole point is of course
to avoid the divergences and ontological difficulties
of direct quantisation of the metric field"
I have solved that problem. My coupling is
dimensionless and the basic gravity fields are
spin 1 warped "tetras" A^a fields, a = 0,1,2,3
- note in non-commutative geometry the Lie
algebra is Yang-Mills non-abelian, as it is
already when you go to the full 10-parameter
Poincare group Lie algebra, but even the T4
part has new structure constants in Connes's
noncommutative generalization.
from what i have seen
the issue is solved for all
symmetry-breaking emergent gravity mechanisms
but i am not as familiar with the calculations
as i'd like to be
also
i must admit that the last time i investigated
the noncommutative programme in gravity
they were having some difficulties formulating a gauge theory
i got lost instead in studying
the general hopf-bialgebra background
and their relations to basic (q-) hypergeometrics
and never returned to the meat
it can be so hard sometimes
to wrap one's head around all these new developments...
"barcelo, visser, and liberati
have proven a very general result
that linearising a classical scalar field
( or indeed any hyperbolic second-order equation )
can always be interpreted as a lorentzian geometry
affecting particle propagation as gravity"
I don't believe that. They must be mistaken.
How do they get tensor fields from a single scalar field?
basically
they expand the field
into linearised fluctuations around some background solution
ignoring the higher order terms
2
phi = phi + epsilon phi + O(epsilon )
0 1
following the work on acoustic models of analogue gravity
they basically define the metric as
del^2 L 1/(d-1)
g (phi ) = (-det { ----------------------------- })
uv 0 del(del_u phi) del(del_v phi)
del^2 L -1
x {----------------------------- }
del(del_u phi) del(del_v phi)
where both terms are taken at phi_0
they then derive equations of motion
which interestingly are hyperbolic wave-like solutions
whenever the metric above has lorentzian signature
" so these emergence results are very general
