PARTICLE PHYSICS Particle physics suffers from at least three deep problems which its scientists dare not acknowledge. ----------- This "science" takes atoms - of gold or silver or hydrogen or anything convenient - accelerates them in fields which strip the atoms down to basic protons then smashes those into other `particles' coming the other way or at rest at one end of the tunnel (which is typically used for this type of experiment). They carefully watch / film the resulting effects and then decide which "new" particle has been discovered. I.e. as a "component" of the original protons. ----------- Problem #1 is - this is equivalent to arranging a plane crash, picking up the resulting shreds, and then announcing that these shreds are "components" of the original plane. Say they found a piece of melted plastic and metal, fused into a ball [it was part of a seat arm-rest]. They then look for ways that "ball" of plastic and metal could interact with other previously examined shreds to make up an operating airplane. Here's the whole problem - that "ball" didn't exist before the crash. Although the material was indeed part of a greater whole - a seat arm-rest (a proton say), the metal-and-plastic ball was "manufactured" by the conditions of the crash! So when particle physicists announce "discoveries" you know one thing - the new particle is *not* a component of ordinary `real' matter which we, you and me, are made of. Although somewhere in the universe, where conditions might be exactly like in that tunnel, shreds of matter could exist that look exactly like that newly "discovered particle". ----------- Problem #2 is - the `particle physicists' have had to invent a language and logic which doesn't really apply to the real world - for the reasons outlined above. So new students are trained (indoctrinated) in that `languge & logic' and believe it's true - but each time they make a very expensive experiment, they'll "find" new particles which don't fit their carefully contrived Standard Model. [For reasons which you've seen above - also see "Blind Science" item # 17] ----------- Problem #3 is - they've promised the politicians ultimate power will be found by their "particle experiments" - and the politicians, always greedy for new ways of killing people, have invested billions, maybe trillions by now, in these very expensive particle-collider tunnels. So the "trade" of particle physics is riding a tiger - and daren't stop, for obvious reasons. They would have to tell the politicians - and eventually us - that it's all twaddle. ----------------------------------------------- FURTHER REFERENCES GO - "search perceptions" - in SEARCH-ENGINE file-ID www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/parts.txt
