- XorNot 4y agoGonna have to ask you to show your work here: who specifically made an LHC prediction and is now asking for as bigger LHC?
- sanxiyn 4y agoMany did, but Gordon Kane is a standard example because he is kind of more brazen about it than most. In 2011: "This is a profound turning point in the quest for a fundamental unified theory of the physical world. The properties and mass of the LHC's Higgs boson suggest that physicists will soon find superpartners for particles, and that we have begun to connect string theory to the real world." from https://www.nature.com/articles/480415a https://www.nature.com/articles/480415a. We didn't find superpartners. In 2019: "One important lesson from studying such models is that we should not have expected to find superpartners at the LHC with masses below about 1500 GeV." from https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.3.20190314a https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.3.2019031.... I mean, yes, you should not have expected that, but you totally did, so why should I believe when you say the next LHC will find superpartners?
