The problem is not funding per se, but the will to test a claim.
Even Shawyer had more recognition than this, even though the concept was less viable and arguably had been way less popularized than Aurigema and Buhler.

Why has Heaviside been so forgotten when he was so important? I’m starting to think maybe there is a group of people trying to suppress the ideas of men like him. Perhaps, a (((conspiracy)))?

Sorry, haven’t read the thread so far but wasn’t Heaviside a big pusher of the failed “vortex theory” along with Lord Kelvin and Peter Tait? They did huge damage to physics by pushing a speculative theory of fundamental physics for decades and probably halted its progress for that entire period by dogmatically adhering to a particular vision of fundamental physics. It took a while before outsiders could debunk their theories and come up with the low-hanging fruit that they managed to obscure with physics dogma for a long time.

I think the historian Helge Kragh has made a convincing story for why the Vortex Theory community is a direct historical analogy for the String Theory folks of today
>>
>>17039262
Heaviside's reformulations of Maxwell equations obscured electromagnetic field momentum, which got rid of vector potential A and scalar potential V. These are things you need if you want to make free space force fields for manipulating matter. You all learned the lorentz force, but that is really just a major simplification of the forces you can impart using em fields. Study up on the Maxwell stress tensor, it sort of opens up em force field technology in a way that you wouldn't have learned in an engineering class.

uh, I don’t know what engineers learn in terms of E&M4Engies… but are you claiming that the Maxwell’s equations I learned from Griffiths are wrong? I’m pretty sure they’re right but let me know. picrel
>>
>>17042996
Well, thats correct. My bad, we didn't have very much time to cover them, it was at the very end of the semester of my em waves class, and we hardly had any time for them.
But what you should take away, is that there is more to force production using em fields than 'lorentz force law'. Research traveling wave MHD forces to find out about that.
Your em fields class also probably didn't cover Ponderomotive force and Dielectrophoretic force, which are really cool and worth studying, especially in relation to traveling wave field effects. Maxwell stress tensor gives you a broader understanding of how to make forces with electromagnetism.
>>
>>17043005
I think you maybe have a small chance of being legit but I am very highly sceptical right now that you are a pseud. I apologize if i am wrong but electromagnetism discussion on the internet has been forever harmed by people like the “Thunderbolts” idiots who promote the “Electric Universe” and deny all of modern physics since the days of Maxwell.

it is really frustrating to me because E&M and Maxwell’s equations are such a beautiful intellectual domain and the basis any physicist needs to master to understand modern Field Theory, but unfortunately any time a discussion comes up on the internet about this field it devolves into arguing about whether or not Tesla was right about his silly scan tower on Long Island

i hope people do get better at classical Maxwell E&M because we really could use better technology from that era like fucking cellphone towers that don’t have dead spots on my way to drive to work. But sadly the Thunderbolts retards make it impossible to actually discuss the topic online

Oooooh, so it looks like everyone is taking it take each frog INDIVIDUALLY counts as a jump. Whereas, I count after BOTH frogs jump.

Ok yeah, so everyone is answering 36 cause it's double counting mine. It's not like they can land on each other on an odd number of jumps given the not-my definition. So my answer is basically matching what the others are saying in a sense. I mean, you can change the matrix so now that it isn't 4 dimensional but 7 dimensional, but uh, nah. And again, it ain't like you can ever get an odd number state anyway.

This is OP's head theory. It blows when he inhales weed and then gradually shrinks into small crumbled ball.

Every collider search for the graviton is implicitly a search for evidence that RS1 or RS2 is a literal description of spacetime, not theoretical. If we take this seriously, there is a genuinely dangerous consequence I have never seen addressed.

The AdS5 bulk in both models is non-supersymmetric. Non-SUSY AdS vacua are metastable against decay to lower energy AdS vacuum. Nothing in the RS construction protects the bulk constant from this... So... the RS bulk itself is a false vacuum by default, independent of a stabilizing scalar. This gives us two serious issues.
>RS2: a blackhole with mass relative to the bulk planck scale rather than the brane is no longer confined to the brane and enters the bulk, seeds nucleation of a low energy bulk-bubble that expands and physically collides with the brane generating a big bang: this is the Gen-Ishibashi-Tanaka model run backwards.
>RS1: the exact same blackhole bulk-bubble generation here instead causes the radion to destabilise, collapsing the geometry of the entire bulk

If the graviton is discovered RS becomes literal and we inherit a false vacuum in the higher dimensional space, these then become immediate dangers that the graviton hunting community has ignored because they have never calculated them before. I have done it backwards. RS2 requires 100-1000 TeV for bulk-bubble generation. RS1 only requires 1-10 TeV for radion collapse.

The exact answer fits easily into a 4curry post. Nevertheless, I'm quite sure that no AI jeet will be able to output that answer, because AI can't actually create any new, unpublished math.

Um, so this is false. LLM’s have already solved 400+ open math problems within the last year. But even if it were true, it would not mean that LLM’s are useless. It’s simply a matter of time to train them on what they can’t do, and since they think much faster and make connections among larger data sets (such as among dozens of research papers), then in some ways they are clearly superior to humans. You may find an example of something that LLM’s currently can’t do, but how about all the things that you can’t do, but an LLM can?

You can absolutely tell if sonebody is infantile (like Epstein) and other defects, but that tells you little else about their personality, or what crimes they commited. (it's possible that infantile men AMONG CRIMINALS tend to be pedophiles) Healthy face with no specific defects tells you absolutely nothing.
