  • I witnessed this bet lol, that was a fun time in center camp.

  • I assure you, the bet is the other way around. If we find them, Sean and I win. If we don't, he wins.

    If we find sparticles, it will rule out his E8 theory, as well as provide good circumstantial evidence that string theory is on the right track. He's hoping that we'll find the particles that his theory predicts instead.

  • m. I guess all that shitty trance music confused me. Tell me, do you think the KATRIN experiment has the ability to entirely rule out TeVeS, the relativistic extension of MOND, by proving the electron neutrino mass is <2eV, thereby indirectly proving cold dark matter must be something neutralino-like?

  • It's already known that most of the dark matter is not neutrinos. As for MOND/TeVeS, I consider it already ruled out as an alternative to dark matter (it could be there in addition to dark matter, but I see no good motivation for it). I'm not familiar with KATRIN, but <2eV doesn't sound like a terribly interesting bound... I think there are enough other upper-bounds that show us it's smaller than that already.

  • sorry, I just noticed you said neutralino-like, not neutrino-like... that makes a lot more sense :)

  • Five bucks? I've made a USD 1000 bet on SUSY at the LHC. ;-) Good luck, guys, anyway.

  • eh?
