Higgs game is over



{Note (added on April 2, 2015, months before the LHC run II):

There should be a vacuum boson {as vacuum [d (blue), -d (-yellow)] quark pair} transformed into vacuum {u (yellow), -u (-blue)}, see http://www.prequark.org/pq11.htm .


This vacuum boson's mass should be:

{Vacuum energy (about 246 Gev) divided by 2} + {a push over energy (vacuum fluctuation, about 2.46 Gev)}
= 123 + 2.46 = 125.46 Gev.

The above calculation has only one parameter: the vacuum energy. As a vacuum boson, its key feature is having a zero (0) spin.


Three years after the discovery of this new 125.4 Gev boson, the Higgs mechanism is not verified (see article form Nigel Lockyer, Director of Fermi Lab. at http://www.quantumdiaries.org/2014/04/24/massive-thoughts/ ). That is, the Higgs mechanism is wrong, totally nonsense, and of course there is no Higgs boson; it is a Vacuum Boson.
End note.}




CERN did it again, with caveats forever. In the press releases (AMS experiment measures antimatter excess in space, http://press.web.cern.ch/press-releases/2013/04/ams-experiment-measures-antimatter-excess-space  ) on April 3, 2013, CERN said, “These results are consistent with the positrons originating from the annihilation of dark matter particles in space, but not yet sufficiently conclusive to rule out other explanations.
...
said AMS spokesperson, Samuel Ting. “Over the coming months, AMS will be able to tell us conclusively whether these positrons are a signal for dark matter, or whether they have some other origin.
One possibility, predicted by a theory known as supersymmetry, is that positrons could be produced when two particles of dark matter collide and annihilate. Assuming an isotropic distribution of dark matter particles, these theories predict the observations made by AMS. However, the AMS measurement cannot yet rule out the alternative explanation that the positrons originate from pulsars distributed around the galactic plane. Supersymmetry theories also predict a cut-off at higher energies above the mass range of dark matter particles, and this has not yet been observed. Over the coming years, AMS will further refine the measurement’s precision, and clarify the behaviour of the positron fraction at energies above 250 GeV.”


This CERN’s news-hype was criticized immediately by a few prominent physicists. In the article (First results of AMS-02 , http://resonaances.blogspot.com/2013/04/first-results-of-ams-02.html ), it says,  “They say that ‘...over the coming months, AMS will be able to tell us conclusively whether these positrons are a signal for dark matter...’. However this is just a lot of smoke without fire. There's absolutely no way that measurements of the positron spectrum may give us a reliable evidence for dark matter: not now, and not anytime soon."


In the article (AMS Presents Some First Results on Cosmic Rays and Dark Matter, http://profmattstrassler.com/2013/04/03/ams-presents-some-first-results/#comment-51341 ), it says, : "Despite what you may read, we are no closer to finding dark matter than we were last week. Any claims to the contrary are due to scientists spinning their results (and to reporters who are being spun)."


In addition to many objections from those physicists, there is a fundamental method to sort out this issue.


LHC, Planck and AMS are great gadgets, and they produce great facts (data). However, these gadget facts are differentiated truths. Integrating them is more important than those truths themselves (see http://profmattstrassler.com/2013/03/28/hes-not-wrong-the-us-and-science-research/#comment-50470 ). Yet, there are many different ways of integration.

a. Hodgepodge integration --- the similar truths are mixed together to form a hodgepodge, such as with the discovery of electron, proton, quark, …, neutrino, … to construct the Standard Model.

b. Mission-based integration ---  for particle physics, it has, at least, two types of mission.
     i. Public (Pu-) mission  --- the public demands it to make, at least, two applications
         1. How did life arise?
         2. How did universe arise?


    ii. Physicist (Ph-) mission:
         1. How to unify the quantum and determinism.
         2. How to encompass the gravity.


However valid that the Standard Model is in terms of the gadget data, it is only a very small niche truth at this point, without any hint for contacting the life rising mechanism and even failed in terms of the Planck data.  The collect subconscious of the public knows exactly what the truth is. An isolated niche truth is not only with little value but is definitely not a true truth.


Thus, however successful the Standard Model is as gadget facts, it is a junk when it fails on the above missions. On the other hand, if a particle theory is a mission-completed theory, it will definitely be Nature physics, as it has integrated over many gadget truths and fulfilled the required missions. Mission-criteria epistemology (based on integrated facts) is more powerful than any gadget fact based epistemology (as only differentiated truth).


Biological life is an information processing system, that is, it needs a bio-computer. And, we already know that the glider of Life Game (of John Conway) can be the base for building a Turing computer. Thus, in the life-system hierarchies (from elementary particles to atoms to bio-compounds), if we can find a glider-like structure in one tier, we have found the life-rising mechanism.


I have also showed that an iceberg model can wholly explain the Planck data (see http://prebabel.blogspot.com/2013/03/planck-data-last-straw-on-higgs-back.html ).


Thus, if a particle theory can encompass both the framework of a glider and the iceberg model, it is the Public-mission-completed theory.  The Prequark Chromodynamics is, indeed, such a particle theory (see http://www.prequark.org/pq05.htm ).


Furthermore, it is quite easy to prove a theorem below.

Theorem: If and only if Theory A (TA) is public-mission-completed, then TA is Physicist-mission-completed.


Now, with the Prequark Chromodynamics being fully developed, the Higgs game is over.
