- Scientific American has a special feature to celebrate the 100th anniversary of General Relativity, and I wrote a contribution about Thought Experiments.
- Believe it or not, but together with the awesome Naomi Lubick I wrote this week's feature article for New Scientist. It is about the research by Glenn Starkman et al summarized in this paper.
- I was interviewed by a NYC based radio station for a program called "Equal Time for Free Thought". You can listen to the recording of the full interview here. (They cut out a lot of additional explanations I gave, I suppose it was too technical.)
- I am presently attending this conference about Hawking and his radiation, which I'm sure will be a very interesting event.

"Thought Experiments" General Relativity postulates the Equivalence Principle, then unfalsifiable within GR (doi:10.1088/0264-9381/29/18/184002; arXiv:1407.0090). Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama gravitation ignores the EP. EP = true gives GR.
ReplyDeleteEP = false offers unobserved EP violations through chiral spacetime curvature: ferrimagnets for electron spin and orbital angular momentum (10.1103/PhysRevD.78.092006); relativistic spin pulsar binaries with neutron stars (PSR B1913+16), white dwarfs (PSR J0348+043), solar stars (PSR J1903+0327).
"Thought Experiments" Chiral spacetime curvature (a left foot) differentially acts upon chemically identical enantiomers (opposite shoes). Six different tests have at least Eötvös balance sensitivity, single molecule racemates to enantiomorphic space group single crystals. Think about it.
