* Is the popular Higgs mechanism for generating elementary particle masses in the Standard Model realised in nature? If so, how many Higgs bosons are there, and what are their masses?[10]
* Will the more precise measurements of the masses of the quarks continue to be mutually consistent within the Standard Model?
* Do particles have supersymmetric ("SUSY") partners?[1]
* Why are there apparent violations of the symmetry between matter and antimatter?[1] See also CP-violation.
* Are there extra dimensions indicated by theoretical gravitons, as predicted by various models inspired by string theory, and can we "see" them?
* What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy?[1]
* Why is gravity so many orders of magnitude weaker than the other three fundamental forces?

OK!If you can't answer those:

Why'd the chicken cross the street?

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!
 
The answer is "No" - currently no one can answer at least some of those questions.

Yet, at least.

In some cases we haven't found the data to answer them.

In some cases (superstring theory) we don't even know what data we should be looking for (or even if there is any meaningful data we could look for) to answer the questions.

Not only that, but why doesn't Newton's theory of gravity hold up in calculations related to satellite slingshot orbits? I saw on the news the other day that Stephen Hawking may be moving to the Kitchener area. If he does, I'll invite him over for coffee and get his opinion!

If you do, please tell me when I can come over with some Louisiana Beignetes from Cafe le Monde on Decatur. :)

Actually you are 100% correct!But there is hope that in a couple months,when the LHC starts to do what it was designed for,they might get answered.

Yes, the large hadron collider should open many doors. Even with the delays it should prove phenomenal in research areas. Wonder what gem will be the first to be unlocked!

Yep!Lederer has been searching a long time for an answer!

So long as we don't end up producing strangelets and converting the mass of the planet into a small quark star :p

But I'm not really worried about that.
 
Wait until tomorrow, when member Shawk signes on.

Sounds like somebody is looong over due for a good blow job!:cool:
