What if Gravity Has Memory? — A Falsifiable Physics Discussion

What if gravity does not respond only to the present but also in a subtle and testable way to its past?

This session opens a discussion around a publicly available, falsifiable physics proposal known as the Horizons-as-Dimensional-Interface Framework (HDIF). The framework explores whether spacetime curvature may exhibit causal, non-Markovian “memory” at horizons, while reproducing Einstein’s equations exactly in the zero-memory limit.

This is not a lecture presenting a finished theory. It is a collaborative physics discussion centered on clarity, limits, and testability.

We will focus on:

• The core idea behind curvature-memory coupling
• What HDIF explicitly claims — and what it does not claim
• How it compares to General Relativity, QFT, and holographic approaches
• A single proposed experimental signature: frequency-dependent phase lags in interferometric systems
• Where the idea could fail, and how it could be falsified

No advanced mathematics is required. Concepts will be presented intuitively, with room for questions, challenges, and alternative viewpoints.

Skepticism is welcome. Disagreement is encouraged.
The goal is not persuasion, but shared understanding.

Early sessions of the Fort Lauderdale Physics Discussion Group will use HDIF as an initial case study to explore how new ideas in physics are framed, tested, and critiqued in practice.

Anyone with an interest in physics — students, professionals, engineers, or curious thinkers — is welcome.

We’ll meet in a quiet discussion space inside the Tamarac Library (exact location will be posted the day before).

A limited remote viewing option may be available. Details will be shared with registered attendees.

Note on attendance: Meetup currently limits RSVPs for this event. If the event appears full, you’re still welcome to attend in person, and additional seating may be available. You can also RSVP “Waitlist” or message the organizer for confirmation.
