God hates the Higgs!

LHC at Cern

A major research goal of the large hadron collider is to detect the Higg’s particle, or the ‘God’ particle. In an interesting proposal; Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, Japan, have developed the idea that the Higg’s particle has rippled back in time to destroy its creator. Nielsen and Ninomiya argue that the Higg’s particle is so detrimental to nature that nature itself has gone back in time to prevent its destruction. Their main evidence of this is in the terrible amount of trouble scientists have had getting the large hadron collider up and working. In a sense this theory is similar to a man going back in time to his conception and forcing his father to use effective protection

Assuming for a minute that the Higg’s particle exists and does give all elementary particles their mass, why would its detection be so offensive to nature. Currently, the particle just cannot be detected – it is already out there. This is where the man going back in time analogy falls apart. The LHC would not create a novel particle; rather simply allow this particle to be readily detected.

I’m not an expert in this field, but this seems to be a major flaw – among others – of these physicist.

Furthermore by their logic, Cleveland sports teams winning a championship must also be so detrimental to the order of the universe that it has rippled back through the cosmos to prevent Cleveland from winning (God hates Cleveland sports!).

What does Real Projective Plane mean?

March 8th, 2009 Jake 1 comment

A real projective plane is a mathematical ‘shape’ that can not be embedded in 3 space without intersecting itself. But it is my favorite shape and hence why I have named this site RP2. RP2 is short for Real Projective Plane.
