For One Tiny Instant, Physicists May Have Broken a Law of Nature

.. was the equally gargantuan magnetic field produced by the plasma — the strongest ever created — that alerted the physicists that one of nature's laws might have been broken..

..so weird and coincidental, brog. Reads just like your BBC article link...

One never knows what one can find if one keeps on looking.

But prof. Otto E. Rossler predicted

a couple of real experts in the field of general relativity, at CERN's request, have already examined Roessler's work (the "scholarly" version with the mathematical details, not the one with the smiley faces and Lampsacus street ballad) and noted fundamental errors of understanding, essentially branding it the work of an novice who hasn't mastered the basics of the theory.

In the early 1950s it was found that the so-called weak force, which is responsible for nuclear radioactivity, breaks the parity law. However, the strong force, which holds together subatomic particles, was thought to adhere to the law of parity, at least under normal circumstances

.since this "law" was known to be broken by a process in the weak force - CPT symmetry..

So now they discovered a process - this time with the strong force - that violates Parity as well, and provides another basis for difference in time direction.

You see - now these clever experts are writting about "violation of Nature's law" - while it turned out, Rossler was right.

Okay, so if this turns out to be a real violation of symetry, then is symetry really a universal law?

Up quarks moved along the magnetic field lines, while down quarks traveled against them. That the quarks could tell the difference in directions suggested to the researchers that symmetry had been broken.

Of course, it must then be noted that Maxwell's FULL 20 equations in 20 unknowns, that describe the fundamentals of electromagnetism, show that symmetry in the complex descriptive of complex fields, does NOT exist,and they are fundamentally asymmetrical.

Heaviside simplified the mathematics so that it could be manually worked on by pen and paper, in order to design working motors. The odd motor would spin out of control (ever heard of a dynamo 'testing' pit? the odd dynamo would spin out to +100k rpm..and levitate, then explode). This is due to the residual asymmetry in the mathematics that Heaviside did not remove.

Lorentz made the math symmetrical, and henceforth we had no problems! Fancy that! HOWEVER...he published it and worked on it, and the work was publicized in a situation where the company

so what did they do to stop the generators from jumping into the air and exploding? what does it prove vis a vis the completeness of the EM theory?

Whereas Otto E. Rossler claimed

a couple of real experts in the field of general relativity, at CERN’s request, have already examined Rössler’s work (the “scholarly” version with the mathematical details, not the one with the smiley faces and Lampsacus street ballad) and noted fundamental errors of understanding, essentially branding it the work of a novice who hasn’t mastered the basics of the theory. They say that he is trying to revive the flattened road-kill of an old conjecture, long since disproved by incontestable experimental evidence.

Morgan even paid to have all the old textbooks ...removed and destroyed.

Quantum sized black holes have never been observed. It stands to reason that if there were at least one stable microscopic black hole in the universe, that there would be a MASSIVE number of them as well. Given that we've never recorded the existence of such an object, it follows that either: there ARE many stable microscopic black holes and that they pose no danger to the earth, or that there are, in fact, NO stable microscopic black holes.

Actually, the notion that dark matter might consist largely of micro black holes (ostensibly created in cosmic ray/star system collisions), fits surprisingly well with our observations.

there might be an occasional microscopic black hole that's dangerous. That will eat its way up to huge size that cannot evaporate. Some of them, might be different in some way.

If dark matter were, in fact, made out of micro black holes, that would fit with the notion of there being "many stable microscopic black holes and that they pose no danger to the earth."

There is absolutely no reason why any specific micro black hole to be any different from any other micro black hole of the same mass.

They're singularities whose event horizons allow no information about their inner structure to directly interact with the external physical world. They'll evaporate to the point of disappearance, or they MIGHT become remnant black holes. This last possibility is not a widely accepted hypothesis, however.

..or, they might not evaporate at all, but only accrete!..

That's not true. Observationally, dark matter poses a danger to ordinary matter. Seriously. Dark matter seems to suppress ordinary matter. In fact, whole dark matter galaxies have been detected with enough hydrogen in them to form billions of stars, yet they remain entirely dark. The same is true of dark matter halos around ordinary galaxies (like ours). The halos apparently suppress ordinary matter. If dark matter does consist of micro black holes, it seems their angular momentums are probably critical for the survival of the galaxy, as a bright galaxy.

It's entirely possible that gravity propagates more like magnetic fields than light.

and we aren't capturing and storing this energy why?

I think you've got yourself a bit mixed up here. The fact is that if there IS, indeed, dark matter, it is almost assuredly the case that there is a large flux passing through the earth in addition to the amounts predicted to be in galactic halos. There's absolutely no reason why there wouldn't be when there is estimated to be so much of it.

Won't gold nuclei traveling at 99.999% speed of light in the collider take years to reach each other in our observation due to SR time dilation? (ie Just like the travelling twin)?

How far does something have to travel away from you before it becomes non-'localised'? The plane test had SR effects didn't it? Is it localised or not?
A person running around the world has relative SR effects don't they? Is it any different if they run around in circles?

This story demonstrates that at high energy an ordinarily firm law of nature can be broken, and this result was (for most mainstream physicists) unexpected.
