The Unified Universe
- pdonis 5y agoI think the claim in the article that "Our observations to date support the idea that a unified theory of subatomic forces can be achieved" is a bit strong. Instead of "support", I would say that "do not contradict" would be more accurate. It is true that not all unified theory models have been ruled out--but the article conveniently glosses over the fact that the models that physicists were betting on (which are the models that underlie the article's later discussion of group theoretic and coupling constant arguments for grand unification) have been ruled out by data from the LHC.
