Light may arise from relativity violations

Thanks, doc . . . It's an amazing place we live in!

As I recall reading their experiment neither proved or disproved the existence of ether, rather that there was no ether wind. Pro and anti-neutrinos are just itching to interact.

[spinestein]

Whatever the means by which light arises it cannot be a 'violation' of something which doesn't exist, even if it were recently thought to exist. That assumes the experiments bear out this theory.

That's what I was thinking. A poor word choice.

[Nick Danger]

The instruments are made from large, resonant cavities.

Let's see if we can get Teddy Kennedy's skull when he croaks.

[furball4paws]

I actually understood some of the words with more than 4 letters.

Man. I hope Physicists have as much trouble deciphering molecular biology as I has with this.

In the meantime, I will have to defer judgment to Senor Physicist and his ilk, but it will help when some experimental data are generated.

Now my head hurts.

[AntiGuv]

Why wait? The advancement of humanity is at stake..

[spodefly]

Help me! See #36.

What exactly is supposed to be violating relativity? It certainly isn't the speed of light, b/c it seems hard to think that that could be the source of light itself? Is it areas of space-time which don't have the curvature that one would expect under special relativity?

WARNING: Relativity Violations are known to the State of California to cause cancer.

[JusPasenThru]

What I think is fascinating is the concept of interdigitating supersymmetry and it's implications for quantum gravity. I thnk it could easily lead to a new hermaneutic with certain heuristic properties.

I could be wrong, though.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

It wouldn't be a very stable mount for the optics; soft and mushy in some parts, too thick in others...

[boris]

A ten-kilowatt laser would seem to be a bit more than a "shimmering"; let alone the output of a star.

[skinkinthegrass]

"Light may arise from relativity exceptions" or perhaps "Light may arise from relativity distortions"..

..given the amount of "light matter" vs the amount of "dark matter" out there...Interesting article. and the "mini maglite as a relativity violator" :^)

[grey_whiskers]

Naah. Not Darkons, Hardons.

Full Disclosure: Back in the dark ages (reference to Darkons, there, get it?), I first ran across the term hadron and misread it as "hardon".

Being an immature adolescent I couldn't stop giggling for *days*.

Naturally, this is the kind of thing that I couldn't explain to anyone at the time...

Cheers!

slow vectors down? Vectors are only a form of expression for multiple-dimensional forces and whatnot.

[GregoryFul]

"a shimmering of ever-present vectors in empty space"

Now that makes it perfectly clear!

[Bratch]

Bush's fault.
