So, if these X-ray sources turn out to be normal stars and not Kerr-Newman black holes, Discrete Scale Relativity is falsified, right?- Hide quoted text - Discrete Scale Relativity unequivocally, uniquely and definitively predicts that the galactic dark matter is primarily composed of Kerr- Newman objects in three populations with highly discrete mass ranges: 8 x 10^-5 solar masses, 0.145 solar masses and 0.580 solar masses. It is the ONLY theory to make such a prediction. The halo of the galaxy is the best place to test the Standard paradigm, which is committed to unspecified particle-mass dark matter and Discrete Scale Relativity, which is committed to stellar-mass ultracompact oblects with very well-specified properties. If Discrete Scale Relativity is the correct paradigm, and only one of the two paradigms can be correct, then the galactic disk will contain sizeable populations of the Kerr-Newman ultracompacts. I cannot know how many of the 473 discrete X-ray objects identified by Revnivtsev et al are the putative Kerr-Newman ultracompacts, so this is a poor choice of falsification tests, if one is looking for a convincing and unbiased falsification test. The point is that Discrete Scale Relativity predicted discrete stellar-mass X-ray emitters, predicted that their luminosities would be in the 10^29 to 10^30 erg/ sec range for galactic disk sources, and offers this as a candidate for what Revnivtsev et al found. It is possible that the Kerr-Newman population is the much larger population of X-ray emitters with lower luminosities [= 10^29 erg/sec] that must underly the observed discrete sources at 10^30 erg/sec. Hopefully the Gamma-ray properties of various populations will offer some guidance. If you, like me, want a definitive falsification test of Discrete Scale Relativity, then you will have to wait for a definitive identification of the galactic dark matter. When that happens, one of the two paradigms will be shown to be right, and more importantly, the other paradigm will be shown to be dramatically wrong. Hope that helps, Robert L.
