The photos of the “researchers” are very revealing. It looks more like a frat party, than a government research lab, but perhaps I’m confusing the two.
- The Big Bang Theory will always need technical consultants
- This is what happens when you discard that pesky unreal root
- They can cut their losses and put the LHC on Craigslist
Science is this wonderfully self-correcting enterprise,
Translation: Science is always guessing
“Of course, it is disappointing, Shifman said. Were not gods. Were not prophets. In the absence of some guidance from experimental data, how do you guess something about nature”
Well I guess they’re just going to have to go back to some of that Religious business again to get more ideas without actually crediting God for their inspirations...(sarcasm on)
Scientists need to get a clue...they need to include this equation into their algorithms if they ever want to get anywhere new and mind blowing... alpha=omega “the first and last”.
Then, someone won the race and all the losing physicists turned to other pursuits such as day-trading. Applying their minds to the trivial problems of moving money, stocks, bonds and derivatives around, they crashed all world markets in mere days creating the current eternal recession!
When the supersymmetry physicists move on, they possibly can get into some field that will reverse the recession!
Of note, the internet appears to have eaten away at all the potential blue laser profits, and is busily carving up cable TV
They can calculate the correct thaw time of a 100% all beef pattie by separating the heat equation in cylindrical coordinates.
What's that mean? Physicists are supposed to look like Willard Romney?
Scientists are people.

ROTFLMAO ~ too much man, too much ~~~ I say send ‘em back to the stock market ~ my hamburgers gotta’ taste like hamburgers ~
That's what science is.
Men trying to understand the beauty of God's creation. We see through a glass, darkly.

Best line I've heard / read all day!!!
If they all looked like Romney then people would really get suspicious. They should all keep their own faces, but just change to his body-type - pressed jeans, an open button-down collar blue or white shirt with a Navy sportcoat would be fine.
Yes. And they ought to dress like him too!
Except, of course, those that work around rotating machinery that could grab hold of their silk ties and drag their faces into sharp nasty gears.
Above all else, they should protect their fabulous smiles.
Yes, except for Bad Science where they accept "consensus."
Keep banging the rocks together, boys.
Some darklier than others.
Second, yes I have.
How much you want to bet he isn't wearing a greasy t-shirt under his jacket?
I just gave a Shifman look-a-like $10 as he sat under a railroad bridge in Chicago just a week ago.
Third, despite the hair Einstein is well groomed. Shifman's baldness isn't the issue, his sloppiness in an official photo is. Especially since he's wasting money getting it wrong.
Falkowski supplied that photo himself. It's his personal "official photo". He doesn't look like he's serious about his taxpayer subsidized stint at CERN.
Dear Taxpayer, Thanks for all the free money to hang out in Geneva. Europe is a blast, dudes. The trains are cheap on the student pass, chicks galore and they serve beer by the liter stein!. Awesome!!!
His photo makes his comment on the future of his profession especially rich: Falkowski says, the field will undergo a slow decay: The number of jobs in particle physics will steadily decrease, and particle physicists will die out naturally." He'd not survive in a normal competitive system.
Last, somebody who hangs out around super colliders on the taxpayer's dime is as bad as a welfare queen in front of a big screen TV. What have he or Shifman produced to make the world a better place?
BTW, if you're Shifman or Falkowski no harm meant.
;-]
This is a great book, required reading.
Dude, I'm a cook. The closest I get to science is H6C2O (arrange that to suit yourself).
If you think physicists are a mess, you should see 'em after closing and they hang out with the cooks. ;)
