Comment on Scientific unprogress...
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoI don’t want to downplay some of the amazing things in this list but i dint think the standard model of physics as made by humans can ever be completed.
What did happen is that something like HB must exists in order to make most of other things work. Now that we know HB is verifiably real we tied up a major loose end.
But there is still many stuff unanswered and a “complete model” would require constant revision.

The standard model of physics is not implying it has the answer to everything, or that there is nothing new to discover. The standard model of physics is the periodic table for fundamental particles. The bits that make up all the other parts.

How are you certain there are no undiscovered fundamental particles involved to quantum gravity and dark matter?

The periodic table is predictive. From a few elements, the rest could be projected and expected, like the Higgs-Boson. The table makes no predictions for things we cannot measure and are in fact theoretical, like dark matter which lacks any empirical evidence. Would be awesome if it did because then it wouldn’t be theoretical anymore.

Periodic table is for atoms. I think you are mixing it up with the standard model, which is for subatomic particles.

Whats the difference between expecting and predicting here?
BH was theoretical at first. The new breakthrough was empirical evidence.
