They may not have found the Higgs Boson at ...Roger,<br />They may not have found the Higgs Boson at 125 GeV. A monte carlo random sampling and Gaussian sum filter was used to sift for a detection (a sign or desperation), which they claim found a large particle, which they are claiming is the 'Higgs'. I don't buy this for Three main reasons:<br /><br /> 1. The entire reason for the particle's existence is fudged bullshit. The reason the Higgs Boson exists at all is because gauge math predicted particles to have no mass, which was being shown not to be true by particle accelerator experiments. Purely mathematical (not physical) breaking of symmetry ensued, voila, you have any number you want now instead of zero. Problem was, a paper needed to be published about this new magic trick, and to do that, a prediction had to be made. Voila, a magical large particle that bestows mass (even to particles far smaller than itself) was born. <br />.<br />2. Lets say you found a massive particle. Why is it the Higgs and not just a large (and very temporary/unstable) particle? This is much like saying, I am looking for planet X, Planet X is large. I found a large planet, ergo sum, I found Planet X. This is horrible reasoning.<br />.<br />3. When was the Higgs supposedly discovered? Years ago(circa 2012). How much more do we know about the secrets of mass and the universe and everything...yada yada yada. Not a damn thing. I have heard not one revelation or a single breakthrough about the magic Higgs particle and how it conveys mass (outside of mathematical fudging), or some minute demonstration of it actually doing so to prove they actually caught the right guy. So, a claim is made that a goose that lays golden eggs has been found. But the goose lays no golden eggs. Hmmmm. Why again are folks so certain they caught the golden goose? The evidence is ...well, not actually there. <br />.<br />Before you go telling me 'how could this kind of ruse be possible?', How could so many well educated experts mislead people?! Because Roger, They had to, their entire field's (HEP) livelihood literally depended upon a discovery. If you just spent the last ten years bullshitting up a storm to sell a multibillion dollar erector set and you promised a magic golden goose that would answer all your magic eight ball questions, by golly you would find one. Sounds a lot like the same kind of overblown promises made by hucksters for Quantum computers and Green Energy scams. My only question about this kind of blatant nonsense is this: Why do they expect not to get caught? CFTnoreply@blogger.com
