Editing Heim theory (section)

==Development==
Heim attempted to resolve incompatibilities between [[Quantum mechanics|quantum theory]] and [[general relativity]]. To meet that goal, he developed a mathematical approach based on quantizing [[spacetime]].<ref name=newsci>

 |journal=Journal of Scientific Exploration
 |volume=6
 |pages=217–231
 |quote=So far Heim has not succeeded in finding a criterion which would limit the number of excited states to those actually observed. Despite the insight gained into particle physics, the theory is not entirely equivalent to modem quantum theory. This enables [Heim] to derive logically precise statements about the process of life, the origin of paranormal phenomena, and the structure of realms far transcending the 4-dimensional world of our experience.

Heim claimed that his theory yields particle masses directly from fundamental [[physical constants]] and that the resulting [[mass]]es are in agreement with experiment, but this claim has not been confirmed. Heim's theory is formulated mathematically in six or more dimensions and uses Heim's own version of [[difference equation]]s.
