Heim theory, the next big thing?

Name: Anonymous 2009-07-22 3:06

Hi

I am here to let you know that the current standard model of physics is, if not utterly false, then subject to extreme scrutiny.

However another standard model has recently come to light. Physicsfags, take a good look at this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heim_theory
Bukhard Heim was a physicist who, through a cruel twist of fate, lost most of his hearing and eyesight in a chemistry lab accident in college. He retreated to a life of almost total seclusion until his death a few years ago.

Recent translations of his notes and papers have revealed something startling; using his revised standard model of the universe (that all matter and the fundamental forces are determined by 10th dimensional geometric patterns made by the "Smallest unit of measure", somewhat akin to string theory). He was able to predict (to within about 6 digits of accuracy) the existence and EXACT properties of OVER 17 SUBATOMIC PARTICLES, all of which were experimentally discovered years later, agreeing with his predictions almost perfectly.

In addition, his standard model explains the expansion of the universe and the apparent stability of galaxies, that gravity becomes a REPULSIVE force at some large distance. Even more exciting, his model seems to include a combined theory of everything. There are already rough designs for a machine that could create an artificial gravity well with the ability to influence roughly 1 ton of matter. Gentlemen, put bluntly, anti-gravity.

Even stranger, there is the suggested possibility of a heim "hyperspace", a kind of pocket dimension woven within our own where the speed of light is roughly one BILLION times faster than it is in our current spacetime. Meaning, you could slip yourself into this pocket dimension, alter your spacecraft's mass by manipulating heim's "smallest unit" and rocket ACROSS THE MILKY WAY IN LESS THAN A SECOND.

Let your physics buff friends know about this, spread the fucking word.

oh, some corrections;
for one, i miscalculated, it's across the galaxy in less than an HOUR (about 53 minutes to be exact).

second;
it looks like the "machine" i mention has already be developed and produced some strange results. Unfortunately the guy who made it was immediately labeled as a crackpot and ignored.

Cool story bro

Given how accurately the standard model predictions can be measured, it's impressive how close this guy's theory got.  However, they're still off by ~100 std deviations, so it's almost certainly wrong, even if sort of close.

Bukhard Heim didn't wear his safety glasses.


Now he's dead.

It's impressive though that he seems to predict EVERY number so accurately.  From that alone, I'd say there has got to be something to it.  I dunno shit about physics really, though, so I'll let the people who do figure it out.  It looks interesting, I'm glad there seems to be a group of people paying close attention to it now.

I don't know shit about physics so I can't really make a good judgement on this myself, but can someone give me one or two examples of someone who was widely labeled a crackpot (by experts in the field, not just the uneducated) and later vindicated by history?  Not trolling, I'm genuinely curious.

Well, you could talk about Galileo (I think) who got mocked for believing the earth went around the sun, but he wasn't really a crank.  There's a difference between someone who has a crazy idea and proceeds to carefully investigate and research it to see if it's any good, and someone who has a crazy idea and immediately starts writing his Nobel Prize acceptance speech.  Heim seems to be the former type, even though I guess he wasn't at a university at all.

Fun links I found through random googling:

funny story, Galileo was kind of a dick, really sure of his theory and kind of tried to smear it in everyone's faces. The pope tried to keep him under a lid so he wouldn't make himself look like an idiot and make himself a bigger target.

Most physics crackpots are engineers. More than 95% of my sample boast engineering degrees, or combine an undergraduate maths/physics degree followed by an engineering PhD or equivalent. This is not too surprising, as this may be the only kind of cursus that provides one with enough math background to understand the equations and formulae in the textbooks without actually studying maths and physics - which would show the crackpot why he’s misguided.

i was talking about the crackpots he was examining

Don't change these.
