CERN Start-Up Milestone for Interface Theory
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND – 10 September 2008 – The start-up of commissioning of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is an important milestone for Interface Theory. Once the LHC is fully commissioned, its experimental findings may support or invalidate the predictions of Interface Theory. Interface Theory predicts the non-existence of the Higgs boson, knowable extra dimensions, and supersymmetry.
Interface Theory shows that space, time and energy provide an interface between what is in principle knowable and what is in principle unknowable. Interface Theory shows, for example, that we can know of space and time but we cannot, in principle, know what space and time are made of. As a result, we cannot discover any knowable extra space-time dimensions. Furthermore, Interface Theory shows that we cannot, in principle, know the structure of energy and, therefore, the source of mass (which is a structured arrangement of energy). As a result, the Higgs boson is superfluous.
The interface, which forms the physical basis of Interface Theory, is deduced from the empirical unifying principle “Laws of Nature exist.” Laws of nature are, by definition, constant. But if the laws of nature are constant, then the processes that maintain their constancy must be inaccessible to us. Otherwise it would be possible to interfere with these processes thereby changing the laws of nature - a contradiction. Now if these processes are inaccessible then they are, in principle, unknowable. Therefore, there exists an unknowable domain of the universe. Between the knowable and unknowable domains of the universe is the interface.
“We look forward to the findings from the Large Hadron Collider,” Dr Spencer Scoular said. “Its experimental findings will hopefully give clear directions to fundamental theoretical research. It may even support the predictions of Interface Theory.”
Interface Theory is explained in a recently published book, First Science. Chapters four to six deduce the theory whilst chapters eight to fifteen consider its general implications for physics. The wide-ranging book also addresses fundamental issues associated with the direction of time.
