RE: Discussing my own research - hunting for flavorful new phenomena at the Large Hadron Collider

Now my head is spinning from all your quarks ans squarks which are part of your beautiful Supersymmetry. I appreciate your work, but feel like a stupid cow looking up to the priests of modern technology, trying to believe your magic and wonders.

Sort:  

It is not really magic in the sense there are very well-defined theoretical concepts behind that, that can be proved from A to Z on the theory side. what is of course missing is the experimental confirmation, which is why we do these works: to be sure we can't miss it experimentally. Feel free to ask questions for anything unclear. I will do my best to answer.

Thanks @lemouth. I think you are right, there is no magic. I only wanted to show you the huge gap between your complex theoretical knowledge and my layman's understanding. I only hope that we one day can say, what was going on there in Cern served all of humanity.

It already does: anything physicists design for their experiment, is public: no patent. Two important examples: hadron therapy for cancer and the web. Another example that I especially like: we are forming people to work hard on complex problem during three years. They learn how to reason to solve a problem. Such a knowledge is useful in many domains (which is why physicists are very well demanded in many areas :) )

Really good points. Thank you @lemouth.

You are very welcome :)
