    Heim theory

    My own personal favourite is Heim theory, as it seems to be able to predict elementary particle masses. Heim started this quantum gravity thing decades before the term became popular.

    Ciao,

    Red face Address of good site

    Good web site on this is http://heim-theory.com/ - alternatively check out the Wikipedia pages I started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burkhard_Heim and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heim_Theory . Have fun,
    Hugh.

    Hugh;
    Welcome to ToeQuest. Can I assume you are an enthusiast of Heim's mathematical treatment of QM?

    I have browsed the text of this site, much of it appears familiar but I'll save my comments until after I finish it or if I can finish it.
    Best regards;
    Dave

    When I got to know about this theory it inmediatelly occupied in my head what string theory used to.

    I'm so interested about the theory, that because I didn't find enough information about what the theory says in cosmology, I had contact by e-mail with one of the members of the research group.

    Indeed he was the first one to use the term "quantum gravity".

    Hi Dave & Guille,

    Yes, I am an enthusiast of Heim's method. Not only the mass formula is fascinating, but also the nature of the extra dimensions and the way he quantises General Ralativity. It may be complex, but certainly no way near as complex as String Theory. And it makes many testable predicitions. I'm leafing through volumes 1 and 2 of "Elementarteilchen", just conifrming that it all looks consistent and rigorous - and I haven't been disappointed yet. So yes, this seems to be the biggie.

    Ciao and let the Sith not be with you!
    Hugh.

    Burkhard Heim is the name of the creator of the theory, he died in 2001 (there is info about him on the oficial heim theory website).

    This is a site that show a pdf file of Heim's theory of structure for elementary particles

    http://www.americanantigravity.com/d...uerbachJSE.pdf

    when reviewing this file, I found many similarities to my own mass equation using Hadamard matrices.

    But does your theory give such a neat expression for the fine structure constant, in terms of only Pi and small integers? This comes from the fact that Heim uses a differencing method instead of conventional continuous calculus, which didn't make his work popular with Hawking - it takes a while to get into that way of doing the calculations. Presumably playing around with Hadamard matrices would also be purely digital and might potentially yield such integer ecpressions for Alpha. The mass formula itself is also a nested series of equations containing different small integers.

    Antonio,

    What are the hadamart matrices used for?

    hdeasy,

    Does heim theory also predict the fine structure constant? or any other constants? (pi, planck, grvitational, c...).

    By the way Antonio, in the paper you give, the name Illobrand von Ludwiger, he wss the man with who I exchanged e-mails (mentioned before).
