Another Crisis in Physics!

"Most theorists working in particle physics are in a state of confusion"

June 6, 2015

Standard Particles constitute the known "stuff" of matter and force.
SUSY (supersymmetry) is extra "stuff" that physicists desperately believe MUST exist.

A wonderful thing about science is that the greatest and best take time off to write popular books and articles, conduct seminars, or go on lecture tours to take science to the people, especially school and college kids. Einstein and Edington popularised Relativity from early days. The former’s "Relativity: The Special and General Theory", was in the words of the author, "intended to give an exact insight into the Theory of Relativity to readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but not conversant with the mathematical apparatus" and was written in December 1916 just 13 months after presenting General Relativity to that historic meeting of the Prussian Academy in Berlin. From 1920 to 1927 Edington wrote five popular books with titles like "Space, Time and Gravitation", "Stars and Atoms" and his acclaimed "The Theory of Relativity and its Influence on Scientific Thought".
