Scientists have finally figured out a way to connect the dots between the macroscopic and the microscopic worlds. Their magical equation might provide us answers to questions like why black holes don't collapse and how quantum gravity works.
Edit: The paper is total nonsense. Sorry for wasting people’s time.
I had my suspicions but I wanted to see what others made of it. The headline was obviously dodgy, but that might just have been the reporting rather than the paper. And I glanced at the paper but didn’t dig through. Since then I had a slightly more careful poke through it, and sentences like this ring some pretty loud alarms:
The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.
Anyway, I appreciate your comments and the comments of the person you replied to. I should have recognized this for what it was.
Nah, you’re doing the right thing: getting input when not sure. That’s the way of learning!
Only one request: add the thoughts from this answer to the OP the next time please! Would make reading it a bit easier and better framed, at least for me.
(I.e. “I’m an authority in this field, look at this exciting news!” VS “my bullshit sensors tingle but I don’t know enough. What are your thoughts?”

That’s a good suggestion, thanks.
