The W boson caused a particle mystery — but scientists have cracked the case

[Admin]

A puzzling discrepancy in measurements of the mass of the W+ and W– bosons, which are fundamental particles that carry the weak force, has been resolved by the Large Hadron Collider.

electroweak theory, neutrinos experiments, ecc are so weak and contradictorial that all of this mass of false math should be dismissed immediately by anyone with common sense

It is a nice achievement!

But for new physics the neutrino sector seems more promising, since their mass oscillations doesn't fit withing the standard model and could explain matter/antimatter asymmetry. And e.g. a sterile neutrino extension is a WIMP candidate.

Quantum Loop Gravity

QLG is like MOND, they were non-relativistic proposals in a relativistic physics universe and so has left the competition. Yet they are still mentioned, perhaps for nostalgic reasons.

Physics is based on observations and tests, math is merely a tool for quantifying them.

In any case, the article describes observations and tests that show they are correct. One gets away with the impression that these Nobel Prize winning achievements (electroweak theory, neutrino discovery, et cetera) gets the personal goat of the poster.
