Mr. AlienScientist, I'm an employee at a large provider of DVR services and I often suggest your youtube channel to our customers. Thank you for all of your continued efforts!

@IcePhixia2000 Gravity is a Wave... Produced by Oscillation.

Hey. Garret. Let's hang out. I'll buy you a freakin beer

@Peralisc *continuation* ... the particles that received an electric charge.

I much rather believe that the "weaker" forces are a reflection of the "stronger" forces. For example the strong force binds the nucleon, lets say that interaction causes a side effect that we call the weak force. So i somewhat believe the structure of the atom itself produces the force of gravity ...

I ve read quite a lot about the LHC and their process of finding particles, but i still cant figure out how they intend to find a graviton ... i cant even imagine how they would make even a step towards this discovery through the LHC

not to mention the higgs boson

It also seems messed up (to me) to think that one is suppoused to give mass and the other to bind those that have mass. It sounds as if one would search for a particle that gives an electric charge and a particle that binds ...

supposedly this theory works in every way other than the reasons they explain here that the missing particles havent been discovered. ALSO!!! a big key factor is that lisi adds bosons and fermions in his mathematics to describe the e8 model to show how the particles correlate with one another. Thats why that beautiful picture is created. Physicists say thats a no no. If thats a nono...well then no beautiful e8 model. But still more power to him..everything is a theory until the LHC produces
