- thfuran 3y agoSo no experiments have happened because I don't have a lab, and CERN is just an elaborate ruse?
- kergonath 3y agoIt’s a bit more subtle than that. Not all papers are equal and I’d trust an article from a large team where error and uncertainty analysis has been done properly (think the Higgs boson paper) over a handful of dodgy experiments that are barely documented properly. But yeah, in the grand scheme of things if it hasn’t been replicated, then it hasn’t been proven, but some works are credible on their own.
- tnecniv 3y agoAh yes, if I can’t run the LHC at home, none of the work there happened
