This looks to me horribly ugly and yields only the flat metric after all. Heim and followers assume 6 (8- or even 12-D) space-time in Kaluza-Klein spirit. <br /><br />In TGD space-time is 4-D surface in 8-D imbedding space: a generalization of string world sheet in 10-D space if one wants something familiar to start with. TGD relies on induced sub-manifold geometry and induced spinor structure allowing to geometrize elecroweak interactions. Color fields are geometrized classically as something analogous to Kaluza-Klein fields. At quantum level particles correspond to "space-time quanta": topological inhomogenities in space-time. <br /><br /> Induction is completely standard mathematical notion about which theoretical physicists have however managed to remain essentially ignorant for some mysterious-to-me reason. Maybe the messenger has been wrong;-). <br /><br />%%%%%%<br />Concerning mass calculations of Heim. As I already mentioned, I don’t understand how the mass formulas emerge because there are no clearly formulated principles. In TGD a generalization of super-conformal symmetries and p-adic thermodynamics are used. Apart from p-adic generalization the thermodynamics and p-adic length scale hypothesis: p= about 2^k, k integer - having now justification at the level of basic principles - the approach is rather conservative at formal level. <br /><br />The errors are few per cent after k has been chosen. The convergence of series in powers of p-adic prime p is extremely fast: 2 non-trivial lowest orders give practically exact results since the p-adic primes involved are so large: M_127=2^127-1 =about 10^38 for electron. Therefore the errors are essentially due to the inaccuracy of physical assumptions. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the success has been used to label the calculations as numerology or fitting although the results are exponentially sensitive to the choice of integer k in the p-adic prime p=about 2^k! The basic problem has been the considerable mathematical ignorance of colleagues and maybe also too strong desire to see me as a crackpot.<br /><br />Matpitka6@gmail.comhttp://tgdtheory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10614348.post-62893644629998092822016-03-26T06:47:24.156-07:002016-03-26T06:47:24.156-07:00Comment to the work of Heim and followers.

I have commented already earlier the metric aspects of the theory in some other context.<br /><br />The idea is to modify Einstein's metric theory of gravity and generalize it by introducing 3 metrics which somehow would give rise to all interactions. I cannot comment on this.<br /><br />The basic starting point is a map M^4-->M^8-> M^4 which is claimed to give curved space-time metric. The formulas used give however by chain rule just the flat metric so that the outcome is totally trivial. It is very tragic that the theory fails already in its first formula. It is not much use to continue further.<br /><br />The following links gives detailed formulas about the failure:<br /><br />http://www.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/~bruhn/IGW.html . <br /><br />%%%%<br />Heim has done also mass calculations. I must admit that I do not understand them at all. He does not use standard approaches - usually strongly based on symmetries. <br />Matpitka6@gmail.comhttp://tgdtheory.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10614348.post-6982728400697589062016-03-26T06:27:12.576-07:002016-03-26T06:27:12.576-07:00I received the email below as a comment to this ...<br /><br /> I received the email below as a comment to this posting. For some reason it was not as a comment however. So that I take freedom to add it here and make a short comment.<br /><br />%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%<br /><br />Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Direct evidence for Z' a la TGD and M89 J/Psi": <br /><br />Dear Dr. Pitkänen,<br /><br />in February of this year, an English translation of Illobrand von Ludwiger's book on the physics of Burkhard Heim was completed and made available online. Since it seems to us that your own TGD theory has some things in common with Heim's largely unknown contributions, and that you would be in a position to understand and evaluate his ideas, we here attach links to some relevant .PDF files, should you be interested in perusing them:<br /><br />http://heim-theory.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/I-v-Ludwiger-The-New-Worldview-of-the-Physicist-Burkhard-Heim-160321.pdf<br /><br />http://heim-theory.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Selected_Results.pdf<br /><br />http://heim-theory.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Heims_Mass_Formula_1989.pdf<br /><br />Best regards,<br />ProtonMail, LHC, CERN, Switzerland. <br /><br />Matpitka6@gmail.comhttp://tgdtheory.com/noreply@blogger.com
