" A beautiful but unproved theory of particle physics is withering in the harsh light of data.
For decades, many particle physicists have devoted themselves to the beloved theory, known as supersymmetry. But it’s beginning to seem that the zoo of new particles that the theory predicts —the heavier cousins of known particles — may live only in physicists’ imaginations. Or if such particles, known as superpartners, do exist, they’re not what physicists expected.
New data from the world’s most powerful particle accelerator — the Large Hadron Collider, now operating at higher energies than ever before — show no traces of superpartners. And so the theory’s most fervent supporters have begun to pay for their overconfidence — in the form of expensive bottles of brandy."

Super Symmetry
It predicts a partner particle for each particle in the Standard Model. These new particles would solve a major problem with the Standard Model – fixing the mass of the Higgs boson. If the theory is correct, super symmetric particles should appear in collisions at the LHC. Oh that stuffed it....still I doubt it will keep me awake...it is all totally beyond me anyway. You seem happy science has failed again Zorro.....you are wrong you know to do that |

Think what we have from science....
In the medical field anaesthetic, antiseptic, antibiotics, cures vaccinations for everything.. do you want a world without these things? Look what the discovery of electricity has done to our world? innumerable other things Zorro There may be some draw backs, but even so. You should have watched Neil's Oliver's programs on early life in Britain.....grim was not the word  |

Science did not help me at Crayford today
 It is not only super symmetry that is in trouble  |

science says that trap 1 normally runs the shortest distance in a dog race,hope this helps.

And science also proved that trap 4 has a disadvantage in every dog race.

T4 won 3 races, T1 won 2 races Brassneck

I do not think super symmetry applies round Crayford, in fact I am not sure what does.

One 'theory' down boys... it had such a snappy sound to it too?
DARK FLOW is the new Big Bang? Sounds like luke skywalker - 'DarK FloW' vader, why they never name their theories after less dynamic stuff? curly whirley theory.... poato pottatoe theory ... cheese monger theory.  |
