One such exploration is my recent publication entitled
"Gravity and Quantum Non-Linearity"*. Based on the
application of complex numbers to the mathematics of
probability and diffusion - processes that cunningly
mask asymmetries and parsimony in the construction of
nature - it short cuts the war of attrition that
fundamental physics has become and uncovers a slight
non-linearity in quantum physics, a non-linearity
which implies that wave components subtly respond to
one another's presence .. Is this Gravity?
Whether its thesis is right or wrong, this
mathematical autobiography is testimony that even in
these days of highly institutionalized science, new,
strange, and wonderful things can still be chanced
upon by intellectual drifters. This fascinating
adventure in physics and mathematics can be accessed
by typing "quantum+non-linearity" into Google and
picking up the top link.

A large community of physicists awaits the arrival of
the 21st century mathematics that, like the cavalry
coming over the hill, will end their unequal struggle
with the complexities of String Theory. "The theory is
brighter than we are", complained one Internet
correspondent. For some however, it has become the
de-facto theory of Quantum-Gravity. But unsupported by
observation, we cannot yet be sure if this theory is
any more than an interesting excursion into the vast
outback of pure mathematics. It seems, therefore, that
the holy grail of Quantum-Gravity is still up for the
grabs. Whilst the brightest guys in the world are tied
up with String Theory, intellectual mavericks can take
advantage of the space they have left behind and less
congested routes into Quantum-Gravity can be explored
and virgin territory staked out.
