Intergal result and quantum cosmology

In summary, the article from ScienceDaily claims to rule out "some" string and loop models, but there is no elaboration on this claim and it cannot be found in the original paper. There is a discussion about this on a separate forum, where it is believed that the article may be completely fabricated as the claims are not mentioned in the original paper. The origin of these claims is unknown.

claims to rule out "some" string and loop models but doesn't really elaborate, I couldn't find that claim in the original article:
http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.1068
anyone care to discuss?

There is already a thread elsewhere in the forum on this ScienceDaily article. The consensus is that the article is ENTIRELY made up, at least in terms of the original paper. That is, the claims made in the article are nowhere even mentioned in the original paper so where they came from (and the extreme granularity # seems totally bogus) no one knows (well the Science Daily article is just a copy of one in the European Space Agency's site but that just pushed the problem back the them)
 

Related to Intergal result and quantum cosmology

1. What is the difference between intergalactic results and quantum cosmology?

Intergalactic results refer to observations and data gathered from studying the interactions and behavior of objects and phenomena between galaxies. Quantum cosmology, on the other hand, is a theoretical framework that seeks to explain the origins and evolution of the universe at a microscopic level, using principles of quantum mechanics.

2. How does quantum cosmology explain the beginning of the universe?

Quantum cosmology proposes that the universe began with a quantum fluctuation, a tiny fluctuation in the energy of empty space. This fluctuation then rapidly expanded and evolved into the universe we know today.

3. Can intergalactic results help us understand the fundamental laws of the universe?

Yes, intergalactic results can provide valuable insights into the behavior of matter and energy on a large scale, which can then be used to refine and support theories in quantum cosmology. However, intergalactic results alone cannot fully explain the fundamental laws of the universe.

4. How do scientists gather intergalactic results?

Scientists gather intergalactic results through various methods such as observations using telescopes, satellites, and other instruments. They also use computer simulations and mathematical models to analyze and interpret the data.

5. What are some potential applications of intergalactic results and quantum cosmology?

Intergalactic results and quantum cosmology can have numerous applications, including helping us understand the origins and evolution of the universe, predicting the behavior of matter and energy in extreme environments, and potentially leading to the development of new technologies based on quantum principles.
