I LOVE reading articles like this, even though I don’t understand a word of it.

Einstein is stupid

But does it explain why the climate models don’t predict global cooling?

[dila813]

I am reading this and honestly am thinking this is too simple, I can’t believe they overlooked this before.

It seems an obvious thing to test.

Maybe the problem was, group think prevented someone from presenting it because they were afraid of retribution from other scientists?

I wonder what these guys talk about when they get together on Super Bowl Sunday?

Along with Sergei M. Sibiryakov, also at EPFL, and Oriol Pujolas of CERN near Geneva, Blas has reformulated Hořava gravity to bring it back into line with general relativity. Sibiryakov presented the group’s model in September at a meeting in Talloires, France.

Sounds like Michael Mann and his bunch's approach.

Gia Dvali, a quantum gravity expert at CERN, remains cautious. A few years ago he tried a similar trick, breaking apart space and time in an attempt to explain dark energy. But he abandoned his model because it allowed information to be communicated faster than the speed of light.

“My intuition is that any such models will have unwanted side effects,” Dvali thinks. “But if they find a version that doesn’t, then that theory must be taken very seriously.”

Oh, geez. Let's make sure that it doesn't result in telling us something that we don't want to know or believe or is different from what we expected, like experimental results that demonstrate the speed of gravity is many times that the speed of light.

The picture is exactly correct. Time is a human perception and has been assigned a value by humans. Consequently time is an imperfect tool to use to try and understand space. While time does reflect a measure of change the universe may not care about our efforts to assign it a value that may or may not be relevant to understanding space. Einstein seemed to be obsessed with time and therefore his projections are probably skewed.

>>>paper published in the August Physical Review D, then the universe didn’t bang—it bounced. “A universe filled with matter will contract down to a small—but finite—size and then bounce out again

About five years ago there was a calculation discussed that suggested the temperature of the “universe” would make sense only if there had been a series of prior “big bangs”. By their arithmetic, something like five prior progressively cooling universes would be required to form the current state of physics.

Maybe they were on the right track.

But now Petr Hořava, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, thinks he understands the problem. It’s all, he says, a matter of time.

It's About Time!

Still trying after all these years to understand the secrets of the Universe.

Whoops. I just sent the ping to the keyword, which also happens to be a FReeper's name. My apologies.
