Four-dimensional unsubtraction from the loop-tree duality

Researchers at the universities of Valencia and Florence propose an approach to the experimental data generated by the LHC that solves the infinity problem without breaching the 4 dimensions of space-time. The theories currently used to interpret the data emerging from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which have so far most notably led to the discovery of the Higgs boson, are poorly defined within the four dimensions of space-time established by Einstein in his Theory of Special Relativity. In order to avoid the infinities resulting from the calculations that these theories inspire, new dimensions are added in a mathematical trick which, although effective, does not reflect what we now know about our Universe.

Now though, a group...
