And the new generation has the backing of an old hand - Professor George Smoot, Nobel prizewinner for his work on the cosmic microwave background and one of the world's most respected physicists.

"Supersymmetry is an extremely beautiful model," he said.

"It's got symmetry, it's super and it's been taught in Europe for decades as the correct model because it is so beautiful; but there's no experimental data to say that it is correct."
… "beautiful" ??
.. What is that ??

Just once I'd like to see a real ugly one be demonstrated to be correct !

.. just once … even then I reckon some poet would paint a story around it to make it look "beautiful".

Why can't reality look ugly ?


Cheers
