Remember, we still don’t know: - many of the Yukawa couplings - the Higgs width (which provides an inventory of everything the Higgs decays into/interacts with) - the shape of the Higgs potential and the nature of EW symmetry breaking. The SM is far from fully validated.

The most common misconception is that is has something to do with general relativity. The Higgs boson is responsible for the masses of fundamental particles, general relativity is the theory of spacetime shaped by the energy and momentum, mass being just one part of that picture

Spacetime is often tied to general relativity, but plays a very important role in particle physics as well: - Antiparticles are a consequence of spacetime symmetries - Spin is inherent to how quantum fields respect spacetime symmetries, not an added property - Quantum

I would really like to know if there's anyone who seriously believes it's wise or sustainable for the entire UK university system to be so financially dependent on international student fees. And if nobody wants this system, why do we have it?

Absurd, ridiculous story, but if dumb emails are presented as the ‘War on Science,’ any scientist reading this will see it as completely out of touch with the reality of massive budget cuts gutting entire research programs

Cool paper! It's interesting that it's limited to dimensionless variables. Does this suggest it performs better for physical systems that can be described by only dimensionless quantities? I wouldn't be surprised if that is connected to the fact that it finds different sets of

If Universities didn’t take international students there would be *fewer* places for ‘smart kids from Wisconsin’. International students subsidise these places. This sounds like someone who hasn’t ever thought about their position for longer than 3 seconds
