CERN Confirms Hints of Hypothetical Particle Have Disappeared (arstechnica.com)
John Timmer, writing for Ars Technica: Toward the end of last year, the people behind the Large Hadron Collider announced that they might have found signs of a new particle. Their evidence came from an analysis of the first high-energy data obtained after the LHC's two general-purpose detectors underwent an extensive upgrade. While the possible new particle didn't produce a signal that reached statistical significance, it did show up in both detectors, raising the hope that the LHC was finally on to some new physics. This week, those hopes have officially been dashed. Physicists used a conference to release their analysis of the flood of data that came out of this year's run. According to their data, the area of the apparent signal is filled by nothing but statistical noise. The search for new particles in data from the LHC starts with a calculation of the sorts of things we should expect to see at a given energy. The Standard Model, which describes particles and forces, can be used to make predictions of the frequency at which specific particles will pop out of collisions, as well as what those particles will decay into. So, for example, the Standard Model might indicate that two electrons should appear in five percent of the collisions that occur at a specific energy. Looking for new particles involves looking for deviations from those predictions.
Once the real purpose of the LHC is revealed, everyone will see that its true purpose is evil. The real goal is to open a portal to Hell and make contact with Satan, to free him and obtain his power and immortality. All of these supposed new particles like neutrinos are fiction and basic education teaches us as much. All matter is composed of three basic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The other supposed subatomic particles are works of fiction, to keep secrets the true purpose of the LHC until it is too far along to be stopped. The LHC exists for an evil purpose and must be stopped before Satan and his demons are released back into the world to torment mankind. Turn to Jesus and pray that this evil plot is stopped before wicked men can be allowed to literally bring Hell on Earth. There will never be any hypothetical new subatomic particles, just pure evil. God help all of us, forgive us, and stop us before we destroy ourselves.
Must be hiding behind all that dark matter & energy that comprise most of existence but which we conveniently can't find anywhere.
Shut up, you Republican dildo-brain.
Look we know you're anti-science, but considering ALL the times you've been wrong about shit, from the Great Biblical Flood to "vaccines is dangerous!!", just shut the fuck up. If it was up to Republican we'd still be looking at the lights in the sky and hoping that Gawd wouldn't strike us down for wondering what they were. So just shut your dickhole and go build your wall.
