We've been doing nuclear fusion since the 50s and 60s. Just not sustainable, practically applicable fusion.

physics students are mostly morons who don't know much besides QFT. For those drones, if there is something incomplete from a theory, then it means there is a new particle somewhere. Those idiots have made up hundreds of particles so far and they are still looking for more. That's the entirety of their intellectual framework. LOL. And btw, the job is shit. hep is really just computing feynman diagrams to some retarded orders in terms of h_bar. It's just computer stuff and 0% physics.
Since the LHC is the biggest DUD in the history of physics, those morons fear they got exposed. So what did they do? they said they wanted 100 billions this time to build a bigger LHC, and to achieve what? discovering new particles LOL.
It is just putting ones head in the sand at this point

even on a global scope, theoretical physics is pretty much dead. Zero innovation since the discovery of the CMB.
All the atheists crave for a new scientific revival with biology, AI, and biohacking but it wil be an even bigger dud. And even worse, they are even less a science, because the side effects are even more complicated to predict in general, and with respect to the particularities of such and such genetic population.
And people will scream about ethical stuff since testing on living beings will be even more mandatory sooner or later...
Even on the level of the daily life, you can see the scientific decay with videogames. video games coming out today basically look like the games they were releasing on 360 and PS3 ca. 2005-2007 when I was in middle school. Compare a pixelated N64 game from the late 90s with a 1080p HD Xbox 360 game from the mid 2000s and the difference is astonishing. Compare a 360 game like CoD4 from the mid 2000s with the latest version of the same game 15 years later, and you will find very few differences. If 3D graphics were progressing at the same rate as in the late 90s and early 00s, then we would have photorealistic videogames by now.

Higgs boson i suppose, i would like more information on it besides "causes mass". Like what even is symmetry breaking? Why would a fundamental force of nature have a temperature or a phase transition? I get the analogies with magnets but how is this explained on its own merit without analogies?
Also what other effects are caused by the Higgs? Can a higgs boson be directly detected with a physical device like a bubble chamber or only inferred by its effects on other particles?

>> No.14805466

There was some interesting stuff coming out of the Baksan Experiment for Sterile Transitions (which has to be the BEST acronym I have seen) earlier this summer. They have been blasting gallium with electron neutrinos to transmute it into germanium, and have found that it consistently produces 20% less germanium than the standard model predicts. So it may be creating sterile neutrinos (which would also count as a form of dark matter), or some other weirdness may be going on. Definitely something that is worth looking into further.

For me, it's the "Well why don't you come up with better Theories/Models then? No, not like that, that would completely invalidate my Thesis I worked so hard on!"

The BEST project has nothing to do with any medical experiments. Not quite sure where you are getting that. The physicists are merely using discs of a radioactive chromium isotope to hit some gallium with electron neutrinos, and seeing how much of it turns into germanium.

Now, I suppose one day it could lead to some sort of medical scanning device, like other particle physic projects have, but I would hardly call something like a PET scan or MRI a "manmade horror".

What I'm getting at, is that there are Thousands/Millions ongoing, nonconsensual, extremely unethical/illegal "Human Experiments" being conducted on select few, and the entire population. And any attempt to discuss such activities is met with Lies and Deceptions to convince people that "Nothing is going on, don't worry about it".

Not important at the moment. Main priority is getting rid of the lying, cheating, thieving, traitorous Sociopaths that are ingrained in Business Administration, Government, Academia, and Social Propagandists.

They ARE the plague that needs to be handled with extreme prejudice.
For over a Decade I've been submitting all kinds of Science Theories and Research Projects all around, and they don't even send a "Oh cool, looks interesting". They just Steal mine and many others' ideas and pretend they dindu nuffin.
People do not understand how absolutely rotten the the scum who call themselves le-ites truly are.

But if you want to check out any cool Science Projects that (((they))) refuse to acknowledge, come check out:
