Beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics

Posted by michael on from the twice-as-good-as-regular-symmetry dept.

tanmay writes "As time moves on, the case for supersymmetry keeps getting stronger. Physicsweb is reporting about an experiment that measures the relation between the spin of the muon and its magnetic moment, called the g-factor. The latest experiment is described as the most significant deviation to date between experiment and theory in particle physics, thus offering the clearest hint so far of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. We will know for sure if supersymmetry holds it's ground by 2007, when the Large Hadron Collider will commence operation."

    All this supersymetry makes me want to dance,

    quark dance that is.

    Quark Dance!

    we can learn what happened before 10^-17 seconds a.b.b. and what is realy happening on Planck scale. It is pleasant worrying about problems like these.

    I doubt that we will ever figure out - and I suspect that even if we did figure out we couldn't do much about it

    As we here at Brookhaven celebrate having found the value of the G-factor, we would like to enlist the help of Slashdot readers in a related problem, namely, finding the exact coordinates of the G-Spot.

    Oops, wait, this is Slashdot....

    ... then shouldn't we be able to see her right breast as well?

    The faster the velocity of the left breast, the less attention we have to locate the position of the right one... also known as Heisenberg's Wife Principle.
