|content=But, of course, The Matrix wasn’t about The Architect. It was about Neo. Neo was protagonist, not the Architect.

And the Higgs isn’t a mere differential geometric anomaly. Nor is it unnatural. It’s just not *understood* as geometry. Yet, that is.

Do stay tuned…

Happy 4th all!

|content=It’s worth reflecting today on the oddity of Higgs sector within the Standard Model.

Three weeks ago, I heard Nobel Laureate David Gross single out the Higgs field/particle/sector/mechanism  as “unnatural”, but what does that mean? Why single the Higgs out?
Herein lies a puzzle.

|content=Oddly, sectors that gives us the four fundamental forces are not considered fundamentally unnatural. Nor are the sectors that given us matter. They seem like natural structures, that at worst were “defaced” with mysterious graffiti (internal quantum numbers, multiple copies..).

|content=So why is the Higgs still under suspicion well after it has been found? It’s hard to say exactly. In some sense, you can see the rest of the field theory of the Standard Model as being differential geometric in origin with our best comparison of the Higgs sector being Yang-Mills.

|content=If I started talking jargon about a “sector governed by relativistic second order Euler-Lagrange equations, subject to quartic interactions, and coupling to matter fields…” you wouldn’t be able to tell if it was the natural  YangMills sector or supposedly unnatural Higgs sector.

|content=Thus the unnatural nature of the Higgs sector cannot be coming from its analytic description. It is simply that we have learned to see force as coming from geometry we know, while the supremely geometric seeming Higgs comes not from differential geometry, but from our *desire*.

|content=To quote the Architect’s speech, you would think he was describing the life of the Higgs Sector (as Neo) within the Standard Model of Particle Theory (as TheMatrix). The Higgs Mechanism is the remainder of an unbalanced (chiral Weak nuclear force) equation forbidding all mass.

|content=@martinmbauer Wait. You added a claim. String theory does not predict a 1,3 spacetime. You can make the usual Post-diction argument. But that wasn’t right.

|content=Physics in 1980: “I’m trying to grasp why nature has 3 generations of chiral fermions with SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) internal symmetry.”

Physics Today: “Remind me again what the internal quantum numbers are? I do quantum gravity so it’s not something I’ve worked with since my QFT class.”

|content=A) High energy physics of real particles became the no-energy physics of toy models.

B) Quantizing Gravity was substituted for unification or extension of the Standard model.

C) Other research programs were obliterated because ST claimed it had it all rapped up.

D) Hype won.

|content=E) Focus shifted to mathematical structure of abstract field/String/M theory. Not our particular world’s choice of thy.

F) Standards of scientific progress were rewritten to disguise failure.

G) Differential application of standards became the norm.

It ended physics culture

|content=String Theory isn’t the problem. String culture is poisonous to science.

String theory, like love, means never having to say your sorry. Or mistaken.

It’s the January 6 problem…but in science. But where the physics versions of Mike Pence often got fired for not going along. 🙏

|content=P.S. “It hasn’t even failed” because it can’t fail. So far as I can see, it can never fail. In the minds of the faithful, It’s unable to fail because it *has* to be the way forward. It’s hard to explain what’s wrong with that to the enlightened who see its infinite power &amp; glory.

|content=@martinmbauer And I agree with everything you said with the exception of “dramatically overemphasize” (and a tiny bit with “by-far”). But you should go down my list and explain if you want me to understand you substantively, keeping in mind that we aren’t at odds over your assertions.
