predictions please, part II
I’m guessing that the scene in the televised preview with the particle rays making gibs of the two who are beside Kai is going to be the result of someone measuring the Higgs mass, or maybe using it foolishly against the aliens, and the emphasis on the alien threat is a bit of a red herring (at least, its not the full story of the finale). Spontaneous symmetry breaking is spontaneous because the numerical choice nature made was…arbitrary. A metastable bead rolls down from the top of the symmetrical hat (just a common model in physics of quantum fields) in any azimuth, and when it does roll it fixes the potential into a crystallized result. That means we cannot predict the breakdown in spacetime (unless the hand that guids the Time Prophet pushes the bead) and so the end result of even a partial particle physics disaster could be…anything. A recreation of a world…as you like. Assuming the rules of particle properties aren’t so altered as to render life infeasible in the domain of the experiment. Kai in brunnen G heaven, the others settled into some other fate, and 790?? A bunch of romantic dreamers like the Brunnen G could only hope even she regains sanity and finds a less than abysmal final state in this terrific space opera. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
