If the critic refuses to play that game, that is neither evidence for Christianity, nor is it evidence of the critic's moral or intellectual turpitude. <br /><br />Woit's fantasy seems to be that the SM will be obtained from a twisted form of N=8 supergravity.

But if he picks 2, then he looks like a bad guy. So it's a no-win situation for him, so he just deletes the comment.<br /><br />I think I even asked him how he would feel if evidence for string showed up in the LHC and he didn't reply.

SUSY is discovered, leading the way to a better understanding of what's happening beyond the standard model<br /><br />and<br /><br />2. Nothing is discovered, nothing at all, other than a plain SM Higgs<br /><br />and he always deletes my comment. I'm guessing because he doesn't want SUSY to be discovered (that's, after all, one of the main themes of his blog - that SUSY is not gonna happen) and because he doesn't want people to know that he wants only the SM to be at the LHC and doesn't want to appear like he's against progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846514233477399562.post-45297173095231527202015-04-02T01:32:40.248+01:002015-04-02T01:32:40.248+01:00Distiller is no Oscar.
