<p>If you believed my Mom, I wanted to be a garbageman just like...well, the garbageman.</p>
<p>As I grew I wanted to be a rocket scientist but then I fell in love with the sea, so I became a sailor. It was wonderful but when my boat sank, I then turned to being the rocket scientist I always wanted to be.</p>
<p>Now I am retired and can fulfill my Mother's vision, the only thing I do anymore is ... take out the garbage.</p>

<p>This really has nothing to do with your story other than its about Princeton NJ. I live about a halfhours drive from there and when I was still active in the Carpenters Union I worked out there a few times. The last job I worked on was an addition to Palmer Hall. One day there was an elementary class trip that was at the building next to the construction site where we were working.

One day there was an elementary class trip that was at the building next to the construction site where we were working. The teacher pointed at the building they just came out of and said something we could not hear over our tools and generators etc. She then pointed straight in our direction saying something else. A friend of mine whom was working with me said "What do you think she just said?". I really had no clue but told him "When she pointed to the other building she said if your parents have alot of money you can come to the University, then when she pointed at us she said, If your parents dont have alot of money that is what you will be doing".

<p><span>The theory of supersymmetry has been widely supported because, in addition to being an essential element of superstring theory (it's the "super" part), it neatly explains how electromagnetism and nuclear forces are united, and it provides an answer to dark matter.

<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>However, the LHC hasn't debunked superstring theory directly. The theory maintains that everything in the universe is actually made up of extremely small vibrating strings. The strings, if they exist, would need to be much smaller than even the smallest particles that are known, and it's impossible for current science to probe such tiny scales. That's where I am and have been for what its worth :)</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Which means a couple of things. It could mean that the simplest version of supersymmetry is wrong, but there are more complicated versions of the theory that still allow for the existence of sparticles, but don't necessarily require the B-mesons' decay to show the influence of them.</span></p>

<p><span>Most of us could have guessed since ~1980, it sure was expensive to put it to rest.<br/> <br/> <em>"Recent findings have dealt a significant blow to the theory of physics known as supersymmetry. At the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, researchers have detected one of the rarest particle decays ever seen in nature. Many have hoped that the LHC would confirm the presence of supersymmetry using these particle decays. Unfortunately, it seems the opposite effect has happened.</em><i><br/> <br/> <span class="textexposedshow">Supersymmetry(or SUSY for short) is the theory that connects the two basic types of particles seen in nature - fermions and bosons. In a nutshell, fermions are the constituents of matter and bosons are the carriers of fundamental forces(like a photon in the case of electromagnetism). SUSY paints a picture of every known boson having a heavy 'superpartner' that is a fermion and every fermion would have a heavy partner that is a boson. This beautiful composure would stitch the Standard Model into more a complete picture of our reality. This would go on to solve mysteries of particle physics, like what the heck dark matter is.</span><br/> <br/> <span class="textexposedshow">In order to attempt to prove this theory, researchers measured the decay between a particle(known as a Bs meson) into two particles(known as muons). The team has calculated that for every billion times the Bs meson particle goes through decay, it only decays in this special way a measily three times. If the superparticles were to exist, it would require the special decay to occur much more frequently. This experiment would have been a huge win for this theory, but has resulted in a failure.</span><br/> <br/> <span class="textexposedshow">The LHC has been the home of very exciting news for some theories; it can result in failures with other theories. But with every door that closes, a new one opens. If supersymmetry is not the answer for dark matter, then physicists will continue to hunt for alternative ideas to fill in the gaps of the Standard Model. But let's not give up complete hope on SUSY just yet - that door still remains slightly ajar."</span></i></span></p> Just go to Dr. Neil DeGrasse…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2012-12-30:1991841:Comment:14316262012-12-30T18:13:53.795ZLarry Scott Draperhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/LarryScottDraper
