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."

    This one makes no mention of Janet Jackson's breast.... er. oops.

    How 'about that G-factor?

    Actually, in a sense, it was Bush. Bush the Elder that is. Though it was a Democratic Congress at the time that actually killed the bill if I remember correctly.

    I had a dream that they are gonna find intelligent beings inside of atoms, and that companies will start outsourcing to those beings, ruining yet more tech jobs. Stop the colliders before it is too late!

    Maybe I should've cut down on Dr. Suess as a kid. That and those supersize spicy barritos result in some funky dreams.
