Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?

      Physics threads on HN can be so entertaining.

        Any HN thread where real thought is required devolves into insanity quickly.

          Sir, this is a Wendy's.

      What if you half spin the other direction?

        Why would it matter?

        A torsion to the right, a torsion to the left mate in circular momentum.

        Sounds like complementary spins.

        Like matter verses anti-matter? If so I think this has actually been considered by physicists hence we tested to ensure that anti-matter responds to gravity in the same way as matter.

        If anit-matter had shown anti-gravity effects then gravity may have been just some imbalance of forces in the universe, but it doesn't appear to be that way.

      > Sub-atomic particles may then be discrete spin lock configurations and not distinct in any other way.

      Using a spin lock is wasteful and not the best move in times of rising energy prices. Use a mutex to put the waiting thread to sleep.

      This is an interesting theory, but I think it has less explanatory power than the Sugon framework for gravity.

        This is not a theory.

          You are half spin torsioning my subatomic particles right now
