I will be able to post about the updated result on MSSM h into tau pairs in two or three days, but while you wait, why not looking for hints in the wine and cheese talk on the Hb->bbb search by Thomas Wright of last September (which I linked already somewhere else, but here it is:
http://theory.fnal.gov/jetp/talks/wright.pdf ) ?

Cheers,

thank you for your interesting comment. I was unaware of the research you mention, and although I find it more imaginative than solid, I salute any off-stream attempts at understanding the structure of our universe with an open mind.

I will look up the work you point to. Anyway, winning a nobel prize is not a guarantee, a certification of seriousness of one’s research. And, people change. We are not the same as 10, 20, 30 years ago.
So, my evaluation of the recent works of Dehmelt would not consider his past achievements.

Cheers,
T.

And, I just emailed John to see when they will present their findings publically.

Cheers,
T.

And glad to find this site for the advanced knowledge shown.

One exception: Hans Dehmelt Nobel Prize (circa 1998) conjecture that the electron is a flat equal lateral triangle (felt) with each vertex a 1/3 charge triplet with an origin “Cosmonium” subsequently in which each vertex itself divided into triplets that today reached a kth level.

Visualize the Cosmonium as a mobile attached to the ceiling, each of the initial three, n=0, next dividing n=1, dropping under force of gravity or gravity related to separation from an anti-cosmonium, and say at n=k, we have today’s touching surface electron, so we can be considered at the zero position of the whole number line for the unitary everyday electron with (1/3)^n, where n=0,1,2,3,4,…k.

Even add local spreads for the powers of (1/3) for mixing.

Heuristic is futuristic, assuming we humans survive.

Dehmelt used a Penning Trap, a vacuum chamber resonating in an electromagnetic field of some 60 mega hertz and a static magnetic field such that the “electron” would gyrate in moving up and down.

His lab measured the gyromagnetic ration (mass rotation axial force to magnetic rotational force) out to 16 decimal places, i. e. 2.000….[16].

This was done with relatively inexpensive laboratory equipment.

Last time I checked, he is still at Univ. of Washington, Seattle, and appears to switched fields to ancient diets, that is, amounts of essential food types. Recently another U of W, Seattle professor announced that based on three high energy collision research the neutron has a negative charged edge and center, with a positive charged between.

Thus constructing rows of wafered triplets and Higgs pentlets has kept me somewhat energized to construct pictorially possible ways to track the Internet literature.

I pounder why Dehmelt switched fields of study.

I find very few people even appreciate his electron triplet conjecture that also included that each vertex 1/3 e+ charge (a single positron oscillated in the Penning Traps for over a month) had an energy some ten billion times that of the at-a-distance electron, which is some 1/1820 the mass of the proton.

So ever since my son at Univ. of Michigan showed me Dehmelt’s Nobel Prize paper I have been pursuing the triplets.

The first obvious connection was that the quark charts gave the “down~strange~bottom” as a triplet of e-/3s. So why not start there?

Next the connect between the regular triplet based polyhedron and polyhedra and elemental chemical nuclei. Classical Greek Polyhedrons.

Then connect the polyhedra to mathematical descriptions.

Recently, arXiv:0709.34509.3450v1 [hep-ph] 21 Sep 2007

“Fermion Masses and Mixing from Dihedral Flavor Symmetries with Preserved Subgroups”

Still studying this essay, excellent, actually kind of fun to study for most of the material resides within the 25 pages. Group Theory.

To the polyhedra consider that the triplets can be stacked into wafers and these can be the basis of crystals.

Also the near 100 GeV thresholds offer plenty of opportunity for single brain analysis. Have inches of printout, one sided, to study.

So thanks for your collaborative efforts.

Best, rmuldavin

Main Entry: grain of salt
Part of Speech: n
Definition: skepticism, reservation
Etymology: Latin cum grano salis, based on antidote to poison needing a grain of salt to work
Usage: used with ‘with a’

“Pinch of salt” can only be a derivative.

I guess I will use ” a pinch of salt” because I have in fact heard it in the past. I’m however still happy to know that “a grain of salt” is possible too…

Cheers,
T.

no, no updates – I will contact John Conway to hear if they have presented already their stuff. Stay tuned.

As for the bet, 1000$ is whatever the exchange rates.
Cheers,
T.

but the English expression is a ‘pinch of salt’ as in when you cook or want to put salt on your food, you take a ‘pinch of salt’ between your thumb and finger (certainly more than a grain) and sprinkle it on.
Hence the expression to take life or a statement with a pinch of salt.
Oh, and don’t forget to throw some over your shoulder, just for luck.

However … to see the universe in a grain of sand
I guess a ‘pinch’ of sand could give us a multiverse, though perhaps not quire 10^500 universes, unless it is very ‘fine’ sand.

On the other hand the saying “not having one grain of truth” implies it is absolutely false.

All the best.

Cheers,
T.

indeed I never said there is a signal in the new data… Let’s wait for the authors to speak though!

Quasar, about dark energy… there is a nice guest post, check the tab above.

Cheers,
T.

PS – I think the expression is “a pinch of salt”

Cheers,
