Hi,

No flames plz, I'm not claiming to believe in any of the following, but
was simply just seeking some enlightened answers.

As you know, a couple of speculative theorists named Hauser and
Droscher have presented a paper proposing some faster-than-light
"hyperdrive" based on the speculations about "quantum gravity" or
"electrogravity" by a fellow named Burkhard Heim. Apparently his
speculations favored the belief that electromagnetism and gravity can
be directly interconvertible, via particles he called "gravitophotons".

One of the more notable features of the equation he came up with, was
that it is apparently able to calculate the masses of fundamental
particles to high accuracy. So that's what I'm posting here to ask
about -- does Heim's formula indeed do this, as is claimed? If so, then
how does it do this when no other mainstream accepted framework exists
to do this?

Has Heim somehow cheated by arbitrarily contriving a formula to force
it to come up with values already known from measurement? It's just
that it seems extraordinarily unlikely for a formula to be able to
calculate a variety of known fundamental particle masses to high
accuracy, if it was just randomly cobbled together.

Is there perhaps even just a portion of his formula that may posssibly
have merit, while other parts should be discarded?

Hauser and Droscher have conjectured that it should be possible to
prove whether or not gravitophotons exist, by performing an experiment
which involves rotating a toroidal mass above a superconductive coil
generating a powerful magnetic field.
