Science Festival About to Start in Cambridge, MA

It’s a busy time here in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as the US’s oldest urban Science Festival opens tomorrow for its 2015 edition.  It has been 100 years since Einstein wrote his equations for gravity, known as his Theory of General Relativity, and so this year a significant part of the festival involves Celebrating Einstein.  The festival kicks off tomorrow with a panel discussion of Einstein and his legacy near Harvard University — and I hope some of you can go!   Here are more details:

  1. How long is it going to be before mainstream realizes ’empty’ space has mass?

    How long before mainstream physics realizes spacetime has mass?

    Spacetime has mass = dark matter

    Matter curves spacetime

    Matter displaces dark matter

    Curved spacetime = Displaced dark matter

  2. ‘Empty’ space has mass. Spacetime has mass.

    The Milky Way moves through and curves spacetime.

    The Milky Way moves through and displaces the dark matter.

    The Milky Way’s halo is the state of displacement of the dark matter.

    The Milky Way’s halo *is* curved spacetime.
