Desperately seeking SUSY

Quote from saxon:

And SUSY is beyond the Standard Model?

ok an extension of... not an invalidation of.

Right,

This would be Physics unexplained by TSM. SUSY would probably be the strongest evidence for something that is far more general than TSM, String/M-Theory, the implications of which would have as much Philosophical implications as Quantum Mechanics and Special/General did at the turn of the last century.

The speed of light appears to not be constant, also pointing to new Physics beyond SR and GR.

When the LHC comes back online at 12 TeV, it better find some hint of SUSY, or it may go to the dustbin of history.

It would seem that some sort of theory that treats matter and forces on the same footing is correct, but maybe nature doesn't work that way.

I think "C" is still the speed limit for anything moving through space-time; but space-time itself can also move (like when it's being sucked down a black hole), at unlimited speed. The best analogy I've heard is that of a canoe on a river approaching a waterfall. Canoe = spaceship. River = space-time. Waterfall = black hole. If the canoe is on the river at the point where the river is flowing toward the waterfall at a rate equal to or greater than the speed of light, it is doomed, since the canoe has a maximum speed over water of < C. So inside the event horizon of a black hole, space-time is flowing toward the singularity at > C. I think. :)
 
I mostly drop by anonymously to browse the news section. There are lots of threads that I loved posting in like this one and the chess thread or the books thread.

Sadly I have become more utilitarian with my time as I get older, and my time is now more "accounted for". I think you have to be some sort of idealist to continue to post on ET, or on the internet in general. I don't post anywhere except stackoverflow, mathoverflow, and I like to read zerohedge from time to time. I got very encouraged to post in the chess thread recently, but I just couldn't get excited about it enough to do it.

I hope you guys keep up with this subject matter. There is definitely a crisis in physics, and the next couple of years will bring that to a fever pitch.
