This will enable researchers here to move on to their ultimate goal: to find evidence of "new physics", which they believe will lead to a new, more compete theory of sub-atomic physics.
After each impact, giant detectors scour the subatomic wreckage looking for evidence of new physics.
To theorists, the tantalizing promise of the L.H.C. is that it will, finally, supply the evidence of "new physics" that they've been waiting for.
LHCb is an experiment designed to search for evidence of new physics effects through precise measurements of decays of B and D mesons.
Observation of this process would provide unambiguous evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, and can point to new physics beyond the reach of the LHC.
Knowing the mass of the Higgs boson would not only confirm a great gamble on how nature works, Dr. Rolandi said, but also give physicists a clue where to look for evidence of a deeper theory of physics.
The combination of physics, archaeological evidence, satellite imagery of the roads, and human feasibility makes their story compelling, Terrell told LiveScience.
So far researchers who are racing to find evidence of so called "new physics" have run into a series of dead ends.
Another confidence builder would be more support for the theory of inflation, either in the form of evidence from particle physics theory or measurements of the cosmic Big Bang radiation that gave a more detailed model of what theoretically happened during that first trillionth of a trillionth of a second.
A Fire on the Moon is a plea on behalf of the unverifiable, of metaphysics (or a novelist's idea of metaphysics, that is to say, "the fiction of unspoken evidence") over physics.
