So they're trying to bend light with magnetic field or something? How is that going to work since light has no charge or mass?
I've read their article and i've noticed few weird things.
>Perhaps the reader is still struggling with the concept of how a toroidal positive energy density develops a spherical region of negative pressure. The short answer is that is what the math predicts.
Are they fucking serious?
>Since we know how to make a large spacetime expansion boost value
Care to explain?
This whole thing looks like pseudoscience, prominent use of buzzwords like "dark energy" only makes in worse. We don't even know what that is and they act as if everyone does.

In general relativity energy density can act as a source for gravitation.

It probably is, or perhaps it's better to say it's """fringe"""

would a strong enough magnetic field produce light in a vacuum?

Has this been verified experimentally? I mean, I guess that's where the mass of a proton comes from?

I'm not sure directly, but GR as a whole is incredibly precise.
>I guess that's where the mass of a proton comes from?
No, the photon doesn't have a mass.

Oh yeah. That makes even less sense.

Any articles about this stuff? I'm just curious about the experiments.
Just don't link me general relativity books, i'm no theorist and don't want to fuck up my brain with this crap.

Then don't ask for critiques of articles involving said crap.
That's like saying you don't want taint your gray matter with Anime, but want to know why Asuka and Misato are better waifu material than Rei.
What are you, some sorta closet theoretical physaboo?

Nah I just heard the fields of the quarks give rise to most of the mass of the proton and not just the valence quarks or something. I don't know why I just don't buckle down and learn it. It'd take less than 2 months.
