Quantum gravity seemed to lack a dam - its effects wanted to spill out all over the place and the underlying reason was none other than special relativity." And all denied the possibility of establishing a well-defined border, common to all observers, capable of containing new quantum gravitational effects. All these paradoxes resulted from well known effects such as length contraction, time dilation, or E=mc^2, all basic predictions of special relativity. THE ROOT OF ALL THE EVIL WAS CLEARLY SPECIAL RELATIVITY. We would meet in cafés in South Kensington or Holland Park to mull over the problem. 250: "Lee and I discussed these paradoxes at great length for many months, starting in January 2001. Pentcho Valev Than the Speed of Light: The Story of a Scientific Speculation, Joao Magueijo Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity." It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. George Orwell: "Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought.

"However, if space-time atoms exist, she said, "the photons would appear to not all travel at the same speed"." Markopoulou is going beyond the crimestop barrier by (involuntarily) suggesting that the cosmological redshift may be due to slowing down of light as it travels through space: T H Ray wrote: "How about some more meat on these bones? :-) Particularly, from Lee Smolin's PI associate Fotini Markopoulou."

If you are aware of an interesting new academic paper (that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal or has appeared on the arXiv), a conference talk (at an official professional scientific meeting), an external blog post (by a professional scientist) or a news item (in the mainstream news media), which you think might make an interesting topic for an FQXi blog post, then please contact us at with a link to the original source and a sentence about why you think that the work is worthy of discussion.
