I thought that this deserved its own thread. To Steve Carlip: Re: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/GR/grav_speed.html Carlip, you are either a crackpot or a fraud or both. You claim (see link above) that a moving body, by some unknown and unfalsifiable magic, broadcasts information about its position and velocity out into space. This information travels at c. Somehow, by some other unfalsifiable, pseudoscientific magic, a receiving body can use the information to calculate the actual position of the source regardless of how far apart the two are. This way, relativity can agree with the Newtonian result even though Newton assumed instantaneous gravity. This is one of the stinkiest pile of crap I have ever seen from Big Brother physics. No moving body can know its velocity or position relative to anything else so as to broadcast that information at the speed of light. This crap contradicts the very theory (GR) that you are trying so hard to defend. Your crap is thus falsified by simple logic. You, Carlip, are not a physicist. You are a pseudoscientist, a mental midget, a jackass, a crackpot and a gutless criminal. You should be in jail. Fuck you. LOL You assholes in the physics community who are preaching these lies ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You are a bunch of con artists and you should be in jail. It's not nice to fool the whole world to the tune of billions of dollars. It is not nice to use Big Brother government to force the world to pay you in order to preach your lies. Fuck all of you, and the mules you sleep with. Your time is coming sooner than you think. ahahaha...AHAHAHAHA...ahahahaha... PS. To physicists who knowingly lie to the people and steal their hard earned money to practice crappy physics. It's sackcloth and ashes time for you assholes. It's almost at the door. Repent from your shit now. You've been warned. ahahaha...AHAHAHAHA...ahahahaha...

More from STEVE CARLIP for you, mapou001, fall down and worship him, now!;
My Research
"Quantum gravity is notoriously a subject
where problems vastly outnumber results."
-Sidney Coleman
One of the deepest problems of modern physics is that of reconciling our
well-established theories of fundamental processes at very small scales,
as described by quantum field theory, with those at very large scales,
as described by general relativity. Efforts to formulate a consistent
quantum theory of gravity date back to at least 1930 -- here is a nice
history -- but despite eighty years of work, we still seem far from an
answer. While such a unification is probably unimportant at laboratory
scales, it is vital for understanding the physics of strong
gravitational fields: in the cosmology of the very early Universe, for
example, and in the formation and evaporation of black holes.
But the study of quantum gravity is difficult, and the main thing we
have learned in these years of research is that the obvious approaches
don't work. The difficulties are partly technical -- general relativity
is a complicated, nonlinear theory -- but we face deep conceptual
problems as well. According to general relativity, gravity is a
consequence of the geometry of spacetime. That means that when we talk
about quantizing gravity, we really mean "quantizing space and time
themselves." We don't know what a completed quantum theory of gravity
will look like, but we will surely end up with a picture of the Universe
quite unlike anything we now imagine.
In the past few years, two promising new approaches to these problems
have emerged. The first is string theory, a model in which elementary
particles are not treated as pointlike objects, but instead as extended
one-dimensional "strings." (Here is a nice nontechnical introduction.)
The second is a reformulation of general relativity in terms of new
variables -- "self-dual connections" or "Ashtekar variables" -- that
behave more like those of conventional quantum field theories. This
approach is now often called "quantum geometry." More recently, a new
method, "causal dynamical triangulations," has also shown promise. Gary
Au has written a nice nontechnical paper based on interviews with
physicists working on string theory and quantum geometry, and I have
written a more technical review of a variety of approaches to the problem.
An alternative general strategy for research is to explore simpler
models that share the underlying conceptual features of quantum gravity
while avoiding the technical difficulties. For example, general
relativity in 2+1 dimensions -- two spatial dimensions plus time -- has
the same basic structure as the full (3+1)-dimensional theory, but it is
technically much simpler, and the implications of quantum gravity can be
examined in detail. Similarly, quantum black holes may be simple enough
to allow us to learn concrete lessons about the full theory.
For the past few years, I have concentrated on four areas of research:
Looking at (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity as a sort of testing
ground for approaches to the full quantum theory;
Trying to understand the quantum gravitational basis of black hole
thermodynamics;
Investigating other "windows" into quantum gravity, such as causal
dynamical triangulations -- relatively simple settings, models, and
approximations that may offer insight into quantum gravity without
requiring a complete theory; and
Exploring a variety of other issues involving quantum gravity and
"low dimensional physics," including string theory.
I have also run a seminar on career prospects and options for physics
graduates.
(2+1)-Dimensional Quantum Gravity
General relativity in 2+1 dimensions -- that is, two spatial dimensions
plus time -- has proven to be a very useful model for exploring the
conceptual foundations of quantum gravity. In three spacetime
dimensions, general relativity has finitely many physical degrees of
freedom, and there are no freely propagating gravitational waves. As a
result, quantum gravity reduces to a special instance of ordinary
quantum mechanics, and problems such as nonrenormalizability that are
associated with quantum field theory disappear. But the model is still a
coordinate-invariant theory of spacetime geometry, and most of the
conceptual issues of the full theory remain.
In all, roughly 15 different approaches to quantizing (2+1)-dimensional
gravity have been developed. Most of these are discussed in a book I
wrote in 1998 for Cambridge University Press. The model has offered
insight into such issues as the nature of time in quantum gravity, the
source of black hole entropy, and the question of whether the topology
of space can change. Here is a paper I wrote with Jeanette Nelson
comparing two interesting approaches.
A recent review article I wrote on general relativity in 2+1 dimensions
for the on-line journal Living Reviews in Relativity can be found here.
Another review is here, this one discussing what we know about the
microscopic "statistical mechanics" that presumably underlies
(2+1)-dimensional black hole entropy. An older and more general review I
wrote on (2+1)-dimensional black holes is here. For some research papers
on the statistical mechanics of the (2+1)-dimensional black hole, look
here and here.
In some ways, ordinary (2+1)-dimensional gravity may be too simple.
Recently, a number of physicists have become interested in a slightly
more complicated version, topologically massive gravity, which has a new
propagating "graviton." I have been involved in this work; two papers
are here and here.
Black Hole Thermodynamics
Thanks to the work of Hawking and Bekenstein, we have known for 25 years
that black holes are thermal objects, with characteristic temperatures,
entropies, and radiation spectra. But we still do not really understand
why black holes behave this way -- we don't know what microscopic
quantum states are responsible for the "statistical mechanics" that
leads to these thermodynamic properties. This problem serves as a key
test for any attempt to quantize gravity: a model that cannot reproduce
the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for a black hole in terms of microscopic
quantum gravitational states is unlikely to be right.
An important focus of my recent work here has been an attempt to
understand how much of the statistical mechanics of black holes can be
determined purely from general symmetries, independent of the details of
quantum gravity. I have shown that a symmetry mechanism is at least
plausible. (Here and here are some papers, and here is a review.) This
idea would help explain one of the mysteries of this field, sometimes
called the problem of universality: the fact that very different
approaches to quantum gravity, with different starting points and
different underlying degrees of freedom, all seem to give the same
answer. This overview won the 2007 Gravity Research Foundation essay
prize; here is a less technical summary.
Another interesting issue is whether "quasinormal modes" -- the damped
oscillations of a disturbed black hole -- can tell us anything about
black hole quantum mechanics. I've written two papers on this subject,
one on (2+1)-dimensional black holes and another on the
higher-dimensional black holes that are understood in string theory.
"Windows"
When faced with a question that seems too hard to answer, a physicist's
first reaction is likely to be, "Let's find a simpler question." In the
absence of a full-fledged quantum theory of gravity -- a complete,
self-consistent theory that agrees with observations -- a natural
strategy is to look into simpler "windows" into quantum gravity that
might give us useful clues without requiring a complete answer. Black
hole thermodynamics, for instance, offers a simple setting in which to
probe complex problems; (2+1)-dimensional gravity provides another
simple model.
Lattice quantum gravity may be another such window. The basic idea of
putting a continuous theory on a lattice, approximating it by a simpler
discrete theory, has had considerable success in quantum chromodynamics
(QCD). The gravitational version is similar, but unlike QCD, where
fields live on a fixed lattice, gravity is the lattice: just as the flat
triangles in a a geodesic dome approximate a sphere, varying edge
lengths or patterns of connectivity in higher dimensions can approximate
varying curved spacetimes.
In particular, several of my students and I have begun to work on a
promising lattice approach known as causal dynamical triangulations, in
which a causal structure -- a "direction of time" -- is put in from the
start. We have found the first independent confirmation of the
pioneering results of Ambjorn, Jurkiewicz, and Loll, who showed that the
method gives a sensible semiclassical limit that really looks like a
four-dimensional spacetime. With the code now running stably, we are
starting to look at new questions, such as the renormalization group
flow of the cosmological constant and the predicted patterns of quantum
fluctuations in the early Universe.
One intriguing prediction of the causal dynamical triangulations method
is that while spacetime appears four-dimensional at large scales, it
undergoes a "dimensional reduction" to two dimensions at very small
scales. If this is a general feature of quantum gravity, and not just a
peculiarity of this particular approximation, it could be telling us
something very important. A lecture of mine on this topic may be found here.
Other Research
I also work on a variety of other issues involving quantum gravity and
"low dimensional physics," and on other areas in which geometry and
topology are important to physics. Some of the questions I have studied
include:
Can quantum fluctuations in spacetime solve the "cosmological
constant problem"? See here and here for two papers, and here for a
write-up in the American Institute of Physics newsletter, Physics News
Update.
Can quantum fluctuations cause the topology of space to change in
time? Here is a paper written with a graduate student, Russell Cosgrove,
that gives some answers in (2+1)-dimensional spacetime.
What does the "wave function of the Universe" really mean? In this
paper I address some issues involved in interpreting the "no boundary"
proposal of Hartle and Hawking. Here I work with a bunch of
mathematicians to try to understand whether quantum fluctuations in the
topology of the early Universe can affect that wave function. (The
answer seems to be "yes" -- they might even help explain how inflation
got started.)
Can string theory be related to three-dimensional topological field
theories? This paper with Ian Kogan discusses some of the problems in
making such a connection.
A few less technical areas I've worked in are the following:
Debunking "creationist" cosmology: in this paper, Ryan Scranton and
I demolish an article by Robert Gentry, a well-known "young Earth
creationist," that is, a person who believes on religious grounds that
the Universe is only about 10,000 years old, and who attempts to
shoehorn science into that picture. (For more on the struggle to keep
"creation science" out of the science classroom and to defend the
teaching of evolution, see the National Center for Science Education Web
pages. I am proud to be one of the early Steves in Project Steve.)
Weighing kinetic energy: in this paper I discuss the experimental
and theoretical foundation for the statement that "a hot brick weighs
more than a cold one."
Investigating the "speed of gravity": in Newton's theory, gravity
propagates instantaneously. This is testable: if one puts a finite
propagation speed into Newtonian gravity, the forces between two
orbiting bodies no longer point toward their center of mass, and this
"aberration" would lead to observable orbital instabilities. In general
relativity, on the other hand, gravity (like everything else) cannot
propagate faster than light. In this paper I show how this light-speed
propagation can be reconciled with the observed lack of aberration, and
correct some errors in the literature. Here I weigh in on the question
of whether a recent observation of deflection of quasar light by Jupiter
gives us observational information about the speed of gravity.
Looking at "varying constants": there is an old idea, dating back
to Dirac, that fundamental "constants" such as the fine structure
constant may actually vary in time. Here and here are two papers in
which I look at the question of whether black holes can tell us anything
about the allowed variations. (Probably not much, unfortunately...)
Answering Frequently Asked Questions: I have written portions of
the Usenet Physics FAQs and Astronomy FAQs.
