|content= | |content=And as per the Renormalization Revolution, a non fundamental result can unlock further fundamental ones as we saw after the late 40s. YM [[Quantum Field Theory|QFT]] wasn’t built in a day after all. | ||
But my point stands along side your point. We don’t seem to be able to push the fundamental physics. 🙏 | But my point stands along side your point. We don’t seem to be able to push the fundamental physics. 🙏 | ||

|content=Today May be Considered the 50 year Anniversary of the Stagnation of Particle Physics. | |||
Today Feb 1 marks the appearance of Kobayashi & Maskawa's englargment of the Cabibo Angle to the three generation 3x3 CKM matrix. | |||
That should be cause for celebration. So let us celebrate! | |||

|content=Hard to tell whether this is good faith, honestly. Some grains of truth buried here, but you have to ignore many developements to end up w this view. | |||
I'll leave this here | |||

|content=I am trying an experiment. | |||
Every day in December, I will post 1 result from the past 40 years (ie 1983-present) that fundamentally changed my corner of (fundamental) physics | |||
Here are my rules</br> | |||
- Nothing already earning a Nobel prize</br> | |||
- Not a ranking, just my preferences | |||

|content=Thanks for the shout-out @martinmbauer | |||
I suspect the response will be that the items on my list "aren't fundamental". A common trend is that people want revolutionary ideas, but demand that the next revolution must look like the last one (and hence isn't revolutionary at all) | |||

|content=I actually really enjoyed your list. It was quite varied. It included changes in the understanding of the techniques (e.g. RG) and other advancements. And, as you hint at, it dovetails with my point about the stagnancy of fundamental theory. I do not think all physics stagnated. | |||
