Cosmology: The World According to Heim - (long post warning)
There has been a genius alive on this planet who is only well known to the few initiates who speak German good enough to follow complex quantum-theory in that language.
As most of us, including me, probably dont fall into this category, it may be moot to discuss his finding where it not for the implications of his findings for everyday life.
This man, born in 1925 and died in 2001, lived his entire life in Germany and was for the bigger part of his life almost blind, deaf and had lost both hands - in an accident in his early 20s.
He studied under Werner Heisenberg, discussed with Pauli and Dirac and he was on the "explaining end" when it came to discussion with those giants of contemporary physics.
Those who are not able to understand German have very little chance to grasp his work in any depth because his major work, published in 2 volumes, is only available in that language.
Bits and pieces have been translated and I will do my best to offer a few links that help.
But first, why is he important or even interesting?
- consider the mathematical proof of an afterlife and, at least in part, of the hypothetical "density" model of RA (law of one)
- consider antigravity explained as well as superluminal flight
- consider the funky support-constructs of the current model like dark matter & dark energy laid to rest for good
- consider the age of the universe to be extended MUCH longer so that evolution could actually have happened (if you insist )
- consider gravity included into a unified theory (and in a way that explains why galaxies move the way they do WITHOUT dark matter)
- and many other perks we as galactic humans would certainly appreciate
A brief overview taken from the web:
--quote--
Heim´s Theory is defined in a 6-dimensional world, in 2 dimensions of which events take place that organize processes in the 3 dimensions of our experience. A very small natural constant, called a “metron“, is derived, representing the smallest area that can exist in nature. This lead to the conclusion that space must be composed of a 6-dimensional geometric lattice of very small cells bounded on all sides by metrons. The existence of metrons requires our usual infinitesimal calculus to be replaced by one of finite areas. The unperturbed lattice represents empty vacuum. Local deformations of the lattice indicate of something other than empty space. If the deformation is of the right form and complexity it acquires the property of mass and inertia. Elementary particles are complex dynamical systems of locally confined interacting lattice distortions. Thus the theory geometricizes the world by viewing it as a huge assemblage of very small deformations of a 6-dimensional lattice in vacuum. The theory also has significant consequences for cosmology.
--end quote--
In fact Heims extended theory includes 12 dimensions, of which only 6 are consequential for us in 3-d, the other's qualities are, in his words, "known to god only", although mathematically described by Heim.
the quote is taken from this site which goes into some depth discussing his theory, and by people who are mostly qualified to do so. I would suggest to go there and read all of it before arguing for or aginst it based on physical/mathematical arguments.

The more cursory interested will find some articles in NEW SCIENTIST easier to digest

The reason most physicists take Heim seriously is that he predicted the mass of elemental particles with much more precision than the standard model can
see: Heim’s Theory of Elementary Particle Structures here:

That alone is proof that he is a real genius and not one of the fringe guys who go on big lecture tours with new cosmological theories any advanced physics student can debunk.
For those who do speak German, there is a very enlightening lecture series available where Heim and an interpreter (who dumbs it down for the audience) speak for about 14 hours. I listened to it 4 times now and maybe have a ROUGH idea now what he is talking about. Its advanced stuff. He not only talks to quantum physicists, also speaks to a Zen master. Its very very deep stuff.

There is a research group which publishes also in English, but I dont think they got very far since their inception:
http://www.heim-theory.com/Contents/contents.html
My strangest personal experience happened in 2007 when I attended a week long lecture of "The trouble with physics" quantum expert Lee Smolin, who was invited to Hamburg to speak at the physics faculty of our University on the quality of time.
I had a chance to ask him if he had any opinion regarding Heim. His reply was, and I cite from memory, that he once was asked by nature magazin to write about Heim and was paid for a period of time to check his work (cant remember how long that was, but it wasnt only few days)
and he did not understand it. He didnt say it was wrong, he said he didnt get it.
Thats saying something coming from such a high calibre.
I could as time permits and if there are requests for it expand on this further.
pls let me know.

Re: Cosmology: The World According to Heim - (long post warning)
I am amazed that Burkhard Heim does not elicit any response whatsoever. Particularily in the light of the pseudo-genius new-physics-guy who has quite a fanclub here. Must be the language barrier.
