It Is By Logic We Prove. It Is By Intuition We Discover.“

Cemetery of Dead Science on our floor this week!

I’m permitted to use terms like ‘clearly,’ 'obviously,’ 'it is self-evident,’ and 'it can be shown’ and skip over vast quantities of information to leave you wondering how it is 'clearly’ the case.

Ways I Am Like the Standard Model

Clearly flawed, but with no obvious path to improvement

Can go from a top to a bottom under the right circumstances

I too have a problem with hierarchy

Influenced by Richard Feynman

Too weird to be widely understood

If you froze my body and shattered it down the middle that would arguably be symmetry breaking

Lots of self-coupling

Many of my interactions are weak

Incompatible with gravity (I fell out of bed the other day)

Will break down under extreme conditions

All of my friends describe me as a gauge quantum field theory containing the internal symmetries of the unitary product group SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1)
