CONFIRMED: Particle physicists just making shit up at this point

The Standard Model only has one Higgs "doublet". Although we tend to think of the Higgs boson as one particle, it actually comes in a package of four, explained Dr Martin.

"In the Standard Model, you only see one of them because the other three are absorbed into [other parts of the scheme] such as the W and the Z bosons. There's only one left," he told BBC News.

"So if you want to add another Higgs doublet - you actually have to add four more particles."

smells like a retcon.  this is making about as much sense as LOST.

If I were a particle physicist I'd feel confident in everything I said I could retcon by claiming the lesser intelligent misunderstood me.

You, too, can do SCIENCE, now from the comfort of your own home. NO investment required.


1) Take the tiniest particle you can observe.
2) OK, take the tinies particle someone else has observed.
3) Hypothesize that this tiny particle is composed of other tinier particles.
4) Cite the humpback whale as proof.
5) For each tinier particle, go to step 3.
6) This step has been highlighted as unreachable.

It's like music, you can't even hold it!   weeeeerrrrddddd.

Particle physics is a marketing scheme hatched by New Age syndicates in order to sell books.

Fuckin' bosons, how do they work

Wasn't it only after particle accelerators were made that they could really test their theories?

Wasn't it only after particle accelerators were made that they could really test their theories?

And I'm sure the smiles on their smug little faces will be big and wide when they prove themselves right the split second before we all fall into one of their mini black holes.

smh at people in this thread. A bunch of creationists the lot of you.

 The Bible says that God made Adam out of dust. It just didn't tell you how small that dust was.
