We use the numbers in all our theories, but we don’t understand them – what they are, or where they come from. I believe that from a fundamental point of view, this is a very interesting and serious problem."
Solve the mechanisms of gravity and you will also solve the mystery of mass.

Now Heim was not an artist, as far as I know (but I am). However, his theory tied up a theory of gravity and the other forces with an explanation of mass. The fact that his mass formula gives values of the particle masses to a relative accuracy of 1 /10,000 is confirmation that his theory, like no other, goes to to the heart of mass and gravity. It all boils down to 6-d interactions of the metronic lattice that forms the fabric of space or the aether or whatever. And tomorrow, July 13th, the AIAA will award two scientists who wrote on space propulsion applications of Heim's theory with a best paper award of 2005. I believe Burt Rutan will present the award.

http://www.uibk.ac.at/c/cb/cb26/heim...raumfahrt.html for letter announcing award. SO: this isn't just another crackpot theory then, but achieves some recognition.
