Can anyone defend string theory against Roger Penrose's pulverizing attack in Chapter 31 of "The Road to Reality"? One possible loop hole is that the...
Bosons give positive zero point vacuum "dark energy" density hence repulsive anti-gravity expanding space with a universal reverse Doppler blue shift. Fermions...
Eric, you may be right. I was aware of this possibility. However, I have some doubt. Does DeWitt do the calculation in detail? Where? Actually he may do it in...

Yes, will let you know. It's an interesting problem. From the POV of the weak field approximation with gravity as simply a huv <<nuv (flat) perturbation what...
An interesting footnote to the cell phone djini post--which cites similar experimentation in Japan and China--is that I received responses from both Japan and...
