Do not herald a theory that makes a pseudo prediction about a clean unification prediction and then crashes and burns on a prediction like the Higgs. In other words, you have no response ti Son Goku's argument that the Higgs is inessential to Big Bang cosmology. But you are going to pretend not to concede the point by criticizing particle theory. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Except that the Higgs is missing, (I have very good reasons to say this). We've seen your reasons. They involved quoting someone saying that the data in favor of the existence of the Higgs does not "quite yet" constitute an "ironclad discovery".

In other words, you have no response ti Son Goku's argument that the Higgs is inessential to Big Bang cosmology. But you are going to pretend not to concede the point by criticizing particle theory. Son Goku has yet to protest about this but I believe my argument was a "missing mechanism" for several processes in universe evolution, like the electroweak epoch. Son noticed this and proposed the Technicolor hypothesis. This is kind of a save for a logical string of processes leading to the appearance of mass in the universe. If I am wrong in this, I am sure Son will correct me. Now what is your question again?

JonF my friend.
I take it you have no response? I simply do not accept the authority of a commentary over peer review in this case. I believe I answered all other objections and corrected the misunderstanding of several misused quotes.

Dr. Adequate My friend
We've seen your reasons. They involved quoting someone saying that the data in favor of the existence of the Higgs does not "quite yet" constitute an "ironclad discovery". Not quite all my reasons, my personal reason is as follows: It is my opinion that the ranges that are now being touted by CERN have already shown no results except some lepton activity (which is now the fading hope).
As I had mentioned before the smaller accelerators already covered the lower energies (114Gev-150GeV), there was a little excitement around (145GeV). That one never panned out; telling me that the boson will never be found. By the way I believe Stephen Hawking will be 100 dollars richer in November.

Now what is your question again? I did not ask you a question. I made an observation about your participation here.
Son Goku has yet to protest about this but I believe my argument was a "missing mechanism" for several processes in universe evolution, like the electroweak epoch. An argument that has been addressed. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

The current Standard model has long passed the promised simplicity zaius137 - can you please point me in the direction of where the Standard model, as you describe it (or indeed any science) ever promised you simplicity ?

I take it you have no response? I simply do not accept the authority of a commentary over peer review in this case. Don't accept the authority. Address the challenge. But you have no response because you're just paper-bombing. You have no understanding whatsoever of the math of "quantized" red shift.
I believe I answered all other objections and corrected the misunderstanding of several misused quotes. You haven't answered or even addressed a one of 'em. But I certainly understand why.

I agree the Quantum field theory has made amazing predictions such as the discovery of the Higgs Boson, its exact mass and particle interactions.
Let me be very explicit about this: The electroweak theory has two compoenents:1. The electroweak force that interacts with matter, because matter carries an electroweak charge. The basic electroweak force consists of the three A bosons and the single B boson interacting with various matter (fermion) particles. At some point in the universes history the electroweak force separated into the elecromagnetic force and the weak force. The bosons were than the two W-bosons, the Z-boson and the photon. 2. The mechanism for what separated the force. There are several proposed mechanisms. The Higgs is just the simplest mechanism and in fact a lot of physicists do not think it is correct. Even if something like the Higgs is discovered at the LHC, there will be years of analysis to find out if it is the basic Higgs or some of the more complicated versions that have been proposed. The basic idea is that some field (whose particles must have no spin, that's practically the only thing we know for certain), settled down, that is went to zero energy. However, unlike most fields, even at zero energy it still had its charge "switched on", this lead to empty space constantly having an electroweak charge, which separated the electroweak force. Now, only the physics in 1. is relevant to the Big Bang and all of this physics has been matched to experiment. We are currently debating 2., however no matter what is going on, 1. works out the exact same.
You will never catch me criticizing Einstein’s field equations because they seem to work regardless of how bad the theoretical framework is that utilize them, namely Big Bang and the Quantum field theory.
Quantum field theory does not use Einstein's field equations.
An after the fact theory can always be shown to hold some transient truth but a real predictive theory holds consistently to reality.
The electroweak theory matches the detection rates at the Tevatron and CERN for over 2,000 different particle interactions across huge range of energies. Every single prediction holds at well over the 95% confidence level. How is this a "transient truth".
It has been proposed that the quantum interactions we observe are mere shadows of a deeper reality.
A proposal means nothing on its own and there are several issues with theories that propose such a "deeper level", like Bell's theorem and the Kochen-Specker theorem.
The current Standard model has long passed the promised simplicity and has become a patchwork of inconveniences.
Promised simplicity? Who promised this?What inconveniences do you mean? Do not herald a theory that makes a pseudo prediction about a clean unification prediction and then crashes and burns on a prediction like the Higgs.
What unification are you talking about?Also for clarity there is the: 1. Electroweak theory as discussed above. 2. Quantum Chromodynamic, the theory of the strong nuclear force. 3. The Standard Model is the combination of 1. and 2. with extra terms to join them together. The biggest train wreck in scientific history (the Higgs) is simply because the theorists have fallen asleep at the throttle.
What do you mean? I don't see how the Higgs is a train wreck.

If anyone is interested here are some direct cites that, show the decay channels that are being searched and the results.
New Quantum Diaries Sign in to CERN Latest runs CMS Physics Analysis Summaries - CERN Document Server The total confidence stands at about 2.1 sigma for a range of 2.4Gev. There is some discussion that scientists will put forth an announcement for the discovery of the Higgs at this confidence level. This is exactly why current science is in the state it is in; the confidence level of 5 sigma should be the standard.

Could I have an example of this discussion, because I certainly haven't heard that anybody is going to announce the discovery of the Higgs at 2.1 sigma as the rest of the physics community would never trust such low confidence results. What is being discussed is combining results from different colliders to get 5 sigma "globally". This wouldn't be the best thing to do, it would be better to obtain two separate 5 sigma results, but it's hardly an Earth-shattering collapse of scientific standards.

5 sigma is the standard. Edited by Son Goku, : No reason given.

That one never panned out; telling me that the boson will never be found. Isn't that a wonderful double standard. We DO have results demonstrating the W and Z boson and the electroweak interaction, and yet you deny that as well. I don't see how you can complain about a lack of results at a given energy when you ignore those same results.
