- re: New Physics of The Force of Star Wars
- hidden 249 is an important summary of status of quantum connection
- communication up to the moment. It is alive and well as a plausible
- falsifiable model of the world that involves an minimal generalization of
- standard quantum mechanics to non-standard quantum mechanics that violates
- unitarity but still conserves probability.
-
- It also suggests that putting in the quantum gravity cut-off into Feynman's
- formulae for QED suggests that the bare mass and charge of electron are zero
- rather than infinite and that the observed values are all vacuum fluctuation
- finite self-energy and screening effects. There is a simple classical model
- of point electron including gravity via equivlaence principle that gives a
- finite self-energy as well.
