RIP string theory

[PinchTheBear]

It's been real and the standard model sends its love.

U mad String Theory Physicists...yeah you real mad

[TMac26]

I wonder if they will write this into The Big Bang Theory.

inb4 everyone just looks at the 'God Particle' part/association that doesn't really belong there and starts a religious debate ignoring the awesome discovery CERN has made.


Edit: Happy 4th of July, enjoying a fine summer ale Sam Adams today in Bostonn are we?

One of the most important physical findings in the last 50 years, or more.

This certainly has the buzz at work. We literally have some of the theorists and experimentalists ready to throw down lol. We have a whole center funded by string theorists. Though I already have a
bit of info a few months back when they had prelim data on this. Some of the grad students couldn't stop blabbing about it. Working with some of the Physicists is great, although some that have recently
won the nobel prize are arrogant as fak. Most of the time its complains and few praises form them.

what would alex filipinko think?

what would alex filipinko think?

I haven't heard from him much really on the topic. Though, he's a fabulous lecturer. I've attended several of his lectures and he really gets you into them even if you don't have the background for it. He's primary an astro guy but collaborates plenty with our Physicists. I will dig around to see what people are buzzing about today.


Though, I did get a call from our campus police that there was doors propped open and unauthorized drinking in my building this weekend. Turns out it was a bunch of the faculty having a drinking party to celebrate. Thanks for the call at 2am guys!

Whatever will the G-Man say.

On spread buddy! lulz

[wakingmalice]

"Imagine the universe as a party"

I do.

[ajvitan]

If anybody is interested, our Physical Sciences Dean as well as faculty and board members will be doing a talk on Monday here on campus.
I'll see if I can find the link on the live feed.

Is the Higgs Boson like the Anti Matter in Angels & Demon's lol?



Also, how does this impact the String Theory?

Awesome video, definitely going to read up more on it!

No, antimatter is different.

[PinchTheBear]

Discovering the Higgs proves God exists according to the second law of thermodynamics. Commence shitslinging.

Lots of lab coats ITT

The standard model and string theory are essentially antitheses. Of course m-theory, which I'll never fathom, dies too, and with the death of brane theory comes a huge hole in theories concerning cosmology viz. our origins. Arguments that refute creation in one form or another collapse on themselves (no pun).

lullllzz call me a **** but don't call me religious

just speaking strictly in terms of logic **** makes a lot less sense without string theory (albeit counterintuitively because it's so complex).

Here's the saved telecast from the campus panel on discussion for any interested people.
