(Warning, extremely jargon heavy, particularly the comments.)
- kadoban 5y agoCool! From my layman's read of that, the odds are good for new physics and/or a new particle, and it sounds like said new particle is actually in a soon-detectable range. That's pretty ideal!
- hutrdvnj 5y agoYes, but "soon" in experimental particle physics means something like: probably within the next 20 years.
- kadoban 5y agoYa, physics does seem to require quite a bit of patience. Anything that could possibly get figured out during my lifetime I count as a win :)
- exmadscientist 5y agoAnd keep in mind that these are theorists, the eternal optimists. Or think of your (least?) favorite group of sports fans, just before the season starts, talking about how awesome it's going to be. That mental image isn't too far off... (In case it wasn't obvious, I'm on the experimental side of things. There's a reason Jester says we're i brutti, and he isn't wrong....)
