Cat gut ping.
Now, this is cool.
I was wondering when we’d get some interesting results from observational testing into whether time and space were themselves quantized.
IMHO, No one has ever assumed that Einstein’s gravity calc is perfection but the number of forces is so great that it is impossible to get closer than Einsteins “basic”.
No, no, no ... there was “consensus” so there’s no room for new data.
ESA’s Integral gamma-ray observatory has provided results that will dramatically affect the search for physics beyond Einstein. ..... According to calculations, the tiny grains would affect the way that gamma rays travel through space. .... High-energy gamma rays should be ....High-energy gamma rays, should be; LEFT ALONE!
Go to the LHC in Geneva and make a Black Hole or some Antimatter. But kindly stop messing with THE MOST dangerous thing in the known universe. So leave GAMMA RAYS alone, dammit.
Sheesh, give these idiots enough money and they'll kill us all.
Getting hit by a gamma ray burst is #2 on my ways of how I'd like to 'croak'.
#1 is crossing the Event Horizon and falling into a Black Hole.
When I first started reading this article, I was thinking it was too bad we'd never, ever be able to detect something that small.
And now the fact that we've established the graininess to be at least 10 trillion times smaller than the Planck scale?...
Just, wow!
Sure is nice having been created in His image, which, it appears, may include an infinitesimal scintilla of His infinite understanding. Perhaps because of that, nothing is beyond Mankind's understanding as well -- except we are "condemned" to comprehend His Infinite Creation one Planck-scale factoid at a time, while He grasps the Whole of it, all at once, with ease. It is nonetheless another priceless Divine gift that I think is vastly underappreciated.
