No need to involve the trinity or other tri-vialities :) That is right, w for weird is already in the W boson, but quarks get a lowercase, so I see no real conflict... Actually, I think I will post my proposal for this naming convention, it might work! As for the LHC effects, yours might be the best way to take the other side of my bet, indeed! "a 5-sigma effect will be found by the LHC at some point, but only for as long as it takes to check it". Hell, _I_ would take the other side then! Cheers, T.

I used to think the same about the number of generations, but sometimes I'm not so sure. You're thinking along the lines: three forces, three colors, 3 volumes Lord of the Rings, 3 parts of Matrix, etc? I like weird and nerd :-) Just that the 'w' is already in use. Best, B. Hum.

As you certainly well know, we bloggers are very sensitive to adulation ;-) So about the fourth generation. I think we should call them weird and nerd. It would fit the bill: uctw, dsbn. No, I do not think there are four generations. My gut feeling is that there is something really magical about the number three. But I might be a strict minority among my peer... I personally also think there is no SuperSymmetry, and that the LHC experiment will see nothing new except the Higgs. As you might know, I bet 1000$ on that with Distler and Watts. Cheers, T.

Do you think there is a generation heavier than top/bottom? And if, what would shell we call it? Apple and Orange? Hope and Faith? Kind and Queen? I like your blog btw, pretty high quality. Best, B.
