Default Definitive Tests Of Discrete Scale Relativity

Let me rephrase this. Discrete Scale Relativity makes a falsifiable
prediction. 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,
