If this a physics 2.0 kind of thing? Or just a small patch?
It’s nothing that would upend the Standard Model, but would define some new interactions and processes.
new physics dlc about to drop?? poggers
Announcing the Horace-Armour particle!
It ain’t cheap but it’s worth every penny
I assume the scientists got a sense of pride and accomplishment from this.
I haven’t even caught up with old physics, slow down, people.
irately:
physics is physics!!!
Science journalism try to be accurate and non-clickbait mission impossible
The number of kaon to pion and neutrino/antineutrino decays the team observed is higher than the 8.4 per 100 billion predicted by the Standard Model, but it’s still within the uncertainty parameters.
So then how the fuck does that hint at new physics? Idiots.
The basic procedure at CERN is that in order to be certain about something that’s super random is to conduct the experiment trillions of times until you get a couple thousand events and you get to beat down your error. If they startseeing something, it’ll still take them a couple of years of data to prove it past their uncertainty requirements.
Whatever particle physicists are, idiots they’re not
It’s a HINT, not a certainty 😘
They demonstrated the event to five sigma certainty, which is significant, but it’s within the uncertainty in the standard model. If they can demonstrate the same or similar things to greater exactness, it could guide research that changes the standard model
Finally… Science 2
Science 2: Electroweak Boogaloo
I REALLY need to finally sit down and watch this damn movie.
Huh.
I thought it started with the Pikachu thing. TIL.
“…all of Physics is wrong!”
“Ultra-rare” means
The number of kaon to pion and neutrino/antineutrino decays the team observed is higher than the 8.4 per 100 billion predicted by the Standard Model, but it’s still within the uncertainty parameters.
CERN confirms ultra-rare particle transformation.
Three Body Problem:
Scientists commit suicide.IRL:
Scientists get super stoked about “new physics”.Wasn’t the whole thing about the scientists in the Three Body Problem that they recognised that their work was being sabotaged by something enormously more powerful?
