anyway that I can loose 20 lbs from this?

[martin_fierro]

No need for that "Fat Tax" after all, as I don't weigh as much as I thought! <|:)~

Those hidden extra dimensions are probably misunderstood parts of one dimension.

My husband loves to laugh at me because I once told him that one of these days they'll prove there is no such thing as "gravity," or "gravitons," that the force we feel as gravity is a vector, a resultant force from several forces affecting the neighborhood.

Sometimes I wonder if there were many big bangs, and there are waves of universes in front of us and behind us, so to speak.

Funny how the New Scientist announces biweekly that the laws of physics have been overturned.

Variations in the earth's gravitational field and surface gravitation have been known for some time. Gravitation is the result of mass and mass density. This varies at different places within the earth.

Wonder what ol' Ted would've made of this one.

New Scientist might have passed this by Brian Greene at Harvard. He's the leading scholar on Calabi-Yau syndrome (dimensions folding upon one another and spontaneously releasing) and string theory.

This sounds like something akin to precision and accuracy conflict. I would suggest team A and team B swap locations, measure, swap equipment, measure, swap locations again, measure, swap equipment again and perform a final measurement. See what drops out.

Screech!!

In a paper submitted to Classical and Quantum Gravity and presented at a meeting of the European Astronomical Society in Porto, Portugal, the researchers calculated the values they would expect G to have at different locations around the world.

I subscribe to this journal. They send the entire year once a year in a box, so I will look for this article sometime in the next few months. It's going to be hot if they get published.

Hidden extra dimensions are causing measurements of the strength of gravity at different locations on Earth to be affected by the planet's magnetic field, French researchers say.

I suspect this has something to do with making my wife's butt look fat in jeans.

Not that her butt looks fat to me, no siree, it's the same size as when we married 25 years ago. Yep, she looks just fine in those jeans. In fact I think the French had something to do with that initial comment.

[SunkenCiv]

Note: this topic is from 2002.

Their work is based on theories such as string theory that try to unify all the forces, including electromagnetism and gravity, by invoking the existence of several extra spatial dimensions.

Somehow the keyword got added, but I seem to not have posted the standard message. Thanks VadeRetro.

This is a controversial claim because no one has ever provided experimental evidence to support either the existence of extra dimensions or any interaction between gravity and electromagnetism.

That simply is wrong, at least the second part of it. The ESA basically replicated the basic Podkletnov experiment in 06. The problem physicists are having with that is being wedded to Einstein's idea of gravity as some sort of a four dimensional differential geometry thing and Einstein clearly was wrong. You can't reconcile the two.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

This would imply force coupling at low energy states? Interesting potential uses.
