The actual probability is one in 13 million squared, he said.

I think this is a bad quote, I think it is two to the thirteen millionth power. Physicist do you know ?

I suspect you are correct. Sure don't know, though!

Rather a large number, this. But, wth, I'll take a couple of lottery tickets.

If I recall, supersymmetry also posits the decay of the photon...is it 10³² years? There's been some study of this in neutrino detection tanks of pure water at deep mines both here and in Japan, the idea being that with ~10³² protons about, by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, one might expect to see perhaps one decay/year. Negative results, so far, it seems. But if and once the proton goes, boys and girls, we're all done.
