JTB and Essene origins edit

John the Baptist may have been the first leader of the Ebionites[2], with Jesus initially amongst his followers.[3][4][5] The Ebionites, through the leadership of John the Baptist, shared many doctrines and practices with the Essenes[6], including, possibly, those at Qumran[7][8].

In the Gospel of the Ebionites, as quoted by Epiphanius, John the Baptist and Jesus are portrayed as a vegetarians.[9][10][11][12][13] It is a matter of debate whether John was in fact a vegetarian (a notion reinforced by the "Slavonic version" of Josephus[14][15]) or whether some Ebionites (or the related Elchasaite sect which Epiphanius may have mistaken for Ebionites) were projecting their vegetarianism onto him.[16]

St Paul edit

Patristic sources agree that the Ebionites rejected Paul of Tarsus.[17] Epiphanius claims that some Ebionites gossiped that Paul was a Greek who converted to Judaism in order to marry the daughter of (Annas?) a High Priest of Israel, and apostasized when she rejected him;[18].

SUSY edit

Lee Smolin: The Trouble with Physics: pg 77 Meanwhile, a great many theorists appear to believe in supersymmetry......... no wonder that so many theorists cannot imagine the world is not supersymmetric..... 78... The possible choices for a quantum theory of gravity would not be narrowed, because the leading theories are all consistent with the world's being supersymmetric. If the LHC does find supersymmetry, this would be one of the greatest achievements in the history of theoretical physics.

LHC purpose edit

It is anticipated that the collider will either demonstrate or rule out the existence of the elusive Higgs boson, the last unobserved particle among those predicted by the Standard Model.[1][2] Experimentally verifying the existence of the Higgs boson would shed light on the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, through which the particles of the Standard Model are thought to acquire their mass. In addition to the Higgs boson, new particles predicted by possible extensions of the Standard Model might be produced at the LHC.

More generally, physicists hope that the LHC will help answer key questions such as:[3]

Of the discoveries the LHC might make, the possibility of the discovery of the Higgs particle and supersymmetric partners have been keenly awaited by physicists for over 30 years,[6] although neither of these can be considered certainties.[7] Of the Higgs, Stephen Hawking said in a 2008 BBC interview[8] that "I think it will be much more exciting if we don't find the Higgs. That will show something is wrong, and we need to think again. I have a bet of one hundred dollars that we won't find the Higgs." Of supersymmetry it has been said "If the LHC does find supersymmetry, this would be one of the greatest achievements in the history of theoretical physics"[9], which Hawking says "would be a key confirmation of string theory" and adds that "Whatever the LHC finds, or fails to find, the results will tell us a lot about the structure of the universe."[8][10]

The expectation that the Higgs boson will be discovered at the LHC is reinforced by the impressive agreement between the precise measurements of particle processes at the LEP and the Tevatron and the predictions of the Standard Model (formulated under the assumption that the Higgs boson exists).[7] Moreover, there are strong theoretical reasons leading physicists to expect that the LHC will discover new phenomena beyond those predicted by the Standard Model. Referring to the so-called hierarchy problem, namely the fact that the Higgs boson mass is subject to quantum corrections that — barring extremely precise cancellations — would make it so large as to undermine the internal consistency of the Standard Model, Chris Quigg writes: "Physicists have learned to be suspicious of immensely precise cancellations that are not mandated by deeper principles. Accordingly, in common with many of my colleagues, I think it highly likely that both the Higgs boson and other new phenomena will be found with the LHC."[7] He then goes on presenting supersymmetry as a leading candidate for physics beyond the Standard Model, together with composite-Higgs models and large extra dimensions.

A generic property of inflation is the balancing of the negative gravitational energy, within the inflating region, with the positive energy of the inflaton field to yield a post-inflationary universe with negligible or zero energy density.[13][14] It is this balancing of the total universal energy budget that enables the open-ended growth possible with inflation; during inflation energy flows from the gravitational field (or geometry) to the inflaton field -- the total gravitational energy decreases (becomes more negative) and the total inflaton energy increases (becomes more positive). But the respective energy densities remain constant and opposite since the region is inflating. Consequently inflation explains the otherwise curious cancellation of matter and gravitational energy on cosmological scales which is a feature of a zero-energy free-lunch universe, which is consistent with astronomical observations.

As shown by John Savard, using the common official definitions of the mile (1609.344 metres), the yard (0.9144 metres), the foot (0.3048 metres) and the inch (0.0254 metres) the speed of light can be expressed exactly in imperial units as 186,282 miles, 698 yards, 2 feet, and 5+21⁄127 inches per second or 186,282+39937⁄100584 miles per second. To verify the latter, note that 39937⁄100584 miles is 25157+21⁄127 inches.
