Update RE: The Hyperspace Drive

Remember my entry about the hyperspace drive? I have an update:

Hey, just wanted to mention that Newscientist ran this as their cover story this week. The theory its based on has been used to predict the mass of subatomic particles, and the results they get match experimental data from colliders to within the margin of error (the currently accepted model doesn't perform even slightly so well). And its not just a hyperspace/subspace theory either...its an attempt at a Grand Unified theory wedding the quantum and the relativistic.

Plus the guy who developed it was pretty interesting. He was a German guy working on explosives in his basement during WWII. He had a terrible accident and lost both forearms along with most of his sight & hearing. Despite that he came up with this theory, which we probably would have heard about by now except for the fact that the guy (Heim) refused to learn English. So his work languished in obscurity, confined to a single German only publication.-zibacco

Quantum theory and Relativity might finally get married and have a bunch of babies toghether? There might really be something to this, after all.

Excuse me while I run off to do the Snoopy Dance.

technology, science
