One in a Billion

LHCb, an experiment within the LHC, has further proven that the standard model is correct. (Much to my disappointment.) They have watched B mesons to determine how many decay in which manner. Their data lined up with what the standard model dictated so it seems as if the standard model is gaining validity.

  1. Aww come on. You can still hold out hopes. The standard model is wacky after all. :-)

  2. True. It may yet be torn to shreds by the search for the Higgs or by antimatter.
