AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on speculations about future discoveries at CERN, particularly regarding the Higgs boson and its implications for physics. Participants express a mix of hope and skepticism about the potential findings, with some suggesting that discovering nothing could be more exciting than confirming existing theories. The conversation touches on the significance of the Higgs boson in relation to the Dirac Sea and the Standard Model, with references to historical experiments like Michelson and Morley, which shaped scientific understanding. There's a playful tone in discussing hypothetical outcomes, including humorous takes on particle roles, but the underlying theme emphasizes the importance of new discoveries, whether they align with current theories or challenge them.

This is a what does the future hold question and its also an opinion based question, although please trying keep the guesses educated at least.

I hope it's going to turn up a Higgs Bosun just because its a neat solution, what about you. I am well aware the whole focus is not even remotely just on this issue it's just an example, so what's your pet theory or "theory" and will it be proved or disproved by CERN, or will it just become more likely.

Keep it real people, of course CERN is not going to find God staring back at them or the holy grail unless of course you mean the God particle or a GUT. :-p

It'd be nice if we could find the Higgs boson.
 
Does the Higgs Bosun help navigate across the Dirac Sea?

Would a higgsino then be a Bosuns Mate?

I think it'd be far more exciting if they found nothing.

Think of how boring things would be if Michelson and Morley detected the flow of luminiferous aether.
 
A black hole.
 
I would be happy with CP violation.

Aye with fair winds and canny navigation we should find where the holy grail lies.

I don't think it would kill the standard model certainly but it would need to be revised assuming they manage to reach the upper limits.

Yes and the whole Earth will be destroyed. :-p

Meh the weak force is CP variant.

I presume the graviton would be the cabin boy..?

M&M didn't find "nothing", they answered a question. Higher energy experiments will yield something new (in terms of answers to questions) whether or not it matches expectations.

I never New Marshall Mathers was a theoretical/experimental physicist, he kept that one quiet. :wink:

well, it's a terrible image for the hip hop market; especially for a scrawny white boy.
