That's what it says on his website but how is getting published in a "conference proceedings" demonstrating any peer review? It's not. He wrote a paper, submitted it to the conference, and it was published in the conference proceedings.

I just got a posting from Facebook that Nassim Haramein's paper "The Schwarchild Proton" has just passed peer review and is being published in the American Journal of Physics.

Zules, where did you get the idea the proton paper has anything to do with a unified field theory? I haven't even seen Haramein claim that, did I miss it?
He is claiming that his theory substitutes gravity for the strong nuclear force. The electric force has already been unfied with the magnetic force into the electromagnetic force, which now is being unified with the weak force, into the "electroweak" force. Gravity has always been the rogueedit on 3-12-2010 by 4nsicphd because: quotes in wrong place
Lisi claims to have a unified field theory/TOE based on E8 which took 120 years to solve according to this:

The mathematics involved in the TOE are beyond our understanding at this point, as for our best theory, M-theory, they do not even have an understanding of the basics.
I heard if we stay at the level of mathematics we are at now that it would take over 400 years to figure out the equations.
But doesn't he claim the protons are traveling at the speed of light? How does that affect the equation? That's the part of his theory that it seems to me that even non-physicists should understand, whether protons can travel at the speed of light or not, and how we know about this from particle accelerator work accelerating protons to relativistic velocities.

He also has his fairy tale protons orbitting each other endlessly. Won't work. Rotating black holes emit gravity waves causing a decrease in orbital radius according to the equation delta r/delta t equals 64/5*G^3/c^5*(m1m2)(m1+m2/r^3. www.eftaylor.com... When the event horizons of the orbiting pair touch, the 2 black holes merge into 1.
Then why do you like it? I thought you were more discriminating than that? I can't find anything to like about something so deeply flawed and fictitious.

I like this concept, however I fear just like string theory, all the pieces of the master jigsaw puzzle can be made to fit together... but the issue is the picture is all messed up.
Thanks for the blog link.

* Mass of an actual proton: 1.67 trillionths of a trillionth of a gram
* Mass of Schwarzschild proton: 885 million metric tonnes
These aren't particularly close.
How does Haramein deal with this discrepancy from reality?
He doesn't.

At the speed of light, they'd have infinite momentum, right? That's what follows from Haramein's argument, unless he also rewrote relativity, which I haven't seen.
No, he is trying to unite the fields of the forces using relativity but that train left the station without him. And no, a proton can not travel at the speed of light, particularly since he posits a mass of 855 tons for each. If you look at the equation above, you will see that velocity of the body is not a term. The orbital decay varies with the masses of the objects and the radius of the orbit. By the way, the term "relativistic velocity" is used to mean a velocity at which the Lorenz transformation equations become overridingly important, not necessarily c.

Thanks for the reply, responses from someone as knowledgeable as you are greatly appreciated!
