The Higgs Boson weight issue

"A recalculation of the mass of an elementary particle, the W boson, has increased the tension between measurements from competing particle collider experiments."

• W boson mass of about 80,360  MeV  -  CERN Alice 
• W boson mass 80,434 MeV  - US Fermilab

 -  James R. Riordon

I suppose everyone is looking for a constant in a chaos universe that fits into the standard model. The speed of light seems to be a Constant that we most identify, E=MC squared it works for everything that we have observed so far, but is it that in all the Universe or Universes. 

With the Fermi Lab being shutdown now its hard to perform the measurement again. However as the article stipulates that all of the documentation of how this measurement at Femi was completed and at the CERN Alice this has not been published to compare procedures. I am sure that we are going to discover new and conflicting data that does not always fit into the standard model. 

Look just happened with the James Webb telescope, galaxies appearing where there should not belong in time/space according to the Big Bang theory or at least we think they are galaxies.  

I am just a fan sitting on the sidelines amazed at all of it. 

 

Alittle Sick

 I know that you are feed up with all of  media frenzy over war and nations and politics, think of what we could accomplish, if we believed we belong to the tribes of humans/neanderthals that transcended across the globe. Humans are species much like the whales and dolphins of this planet. Image if we destroy almost all living species, they are just forks in a long road of evolution. The Big Bang or the beginning of the universe and billions of years of cosmic and planetary evolution has forged this moment in time. 

We as a species are still tribal, even the belief in same God across religions forges pagan battles fighting over the lands and resources for the last 10,000 years while time ticks on the nuclear clock. 

Our Science has been the one thing where we are progressing by leaps and bounds some say the technology will surpass humans or merge with humans as the neanderthals did. I don't know the actual figures but the money spent on military out spends our investment in science, unless the science is for the military. 

The problem is too much historical hate.

To those that say

To those that say, 'We can not say our minds."  Miles gives it all away. 

Earth is waving through me and around me while sit and look at blue skies. 

Fields of wild flowers sitting still soaking up the days sun. 

The trouble with the zoo's these days its pouring rain. 

We walk by the chess nut tree.

Blast from the Past

 A Blast from the Past  

Above is a picture of Mrs. Louise LeRoy, my grandmother. She passed in the end of the 1960's the exact date I am not sure of. Her maiden name is Louise Wagner. I never met a lot of the Wagner's except her sister Betty and her sister Bertha. Betty would come over periodically and take her to lunch in her 1950's automobile. I don't believe my grandmother's from either side of the family drove a car. My mom did not either for many years to come.

The picture appears to me as though she is watering her rose garden, I spent most of my time out doors in the yard. When I was very small and the world around me seemed big. 

 2023 comes in like a blast.

The new year is here again with all of its hope and glory.  2022 brought me to Amsterdam, had a great time wondering all over the city going to museums and coffee shops, and drinking at the outside cafes long the way. I saw my old friend Bjorn and his family doing well in their new house in Issjelstein.  I will post some pictures of 2022 and some of the travels soon. 

Clouds through the screen

 

Watching the clouds roll through the soft blue sky.  listening to old Neal telling stories about seeing Judy Garland below the stage in a red dress carrying music sheets, he says you don't need to believe me but I did. It's a quiet day in recovery, doing laundry and drinking coffee waiting for the one I love. The screen shot is a little weird but I like it. Been a tough month, but one that helped me find some direction got a chance to settle down get some peace of mind.

ALL THE NOISE

 

The advantages of multi-media in the post industrial age, of high speed communication and physical confinement of the new pandemic age, I find myself listening to background political babble speak for the share of air time conversation of like group thought. Wavelengths of opposing thoughts. The virtual worlds of media projecting arbitrary views claiming truth flagged with party loyal behavior while it's real world subjects are cemented in situational life and death reality in the physical world. 

I have associated these to the propaganda machines of the cold war. Both sides claiming victory and superiority, a better way for society to exist. In some cases claiming the other side is involved in the new cold war propaganda machines and funded by cold war opposition. 

It is no wonder why the Justice System seems be the Oracle of wisdom and calm. While science and math is debated over analysis of opposing data. 

The new premise of alternate facts is associated to the new virtual reality group speak that is communicated even in the highest of political offices, a detachment from the physical reality of the poor.
