Fort Lauderdale Physics Discussion Group

This group is an open, discussion-driven forum for exploring foundational questions in physics, with an emphasis on clarity, falsifiability, and respectful skepticism.

Early sessions will focus on a case study: a publicly available, falsifiable proposal called the Horizons-as-Dimensional-Interface Framework (HDIF).

HDIF explores whether spacetime curvature may exhibit causal, non-Markovian memory at horizons — leading to small, testable deviations from General Relativity while reproducing Einstein’s equations in the zero-memory limit.

Rather than presenting a finished theory, discussions will focus on:

• What the proposal actually claims (and what it does not)
• Where it differs from GR, QFT, and holographic approaches
• A single experimental signature: frequency-dependent phase lags in interferometric systems
• How the idea could be falsified

No advanced math is required. The goal is serious but accessible discussion.
Skepticism is welcome. Disagreement is encouraged.

The work is available as a public preprint, and sessions will emphasize conceptual clarity, experimental relevance, and open questions rather than persuasion.
