    IOW up against the limits of objective physical reality. Since material existence has a nonmaterial basis, wouldn't it help if they got off the particle bandwagon and focused more on wave/energy/frequency aspects, instead of leaving Nikola Tesla behind in the dust of the past?

    The military/deep state has supposedly been many steps ahead of the rest of society by harvesting the fruits of top secret black project investments, perhaps by as much as 200 years, according to you know who.

    The range of our human sensory perception is greatly eclipsed by the overall frequency spectrum. It probably holds plenty of secrets that we ought to seek and expose.

    Where's that picture of a skeleton with the message taped on that they questioned SUSY (supersymmetry) ???

    What a large waste of time. It was the bright shining star of a theory years ago... until the Large Hadron Collider didn't find the extra particles. Well, now we aren't doing that anymore.

    Well rumors have it that we are farther along in physic than is generally known to the public.

    The problem is that the equipment is getting to be fabulously expensive.

    The CERN particle collider is returning exactly what physicists predicted. But, the current model is known to have a serious problem.

    With more energy required, consider what it would cost to build an even more powerful version of CERN, which is already the largest most ccomplex machine built by humans.

    The CERN verification of Higgs was about fields even though the public hears about particles. Also, how many Americans know that particle physicists measure mass in terms of electon volts? In fact, how many Americans know that theory is the most tested, concrete answer that experimental science has to offer or that it's not the same as the theory of theoretical physics or the common usage of the term?

    I think we're seeing a public education deficit that has implications on science reporting. The mainstream press needs to hold to a target audience that probably never took even one single course in physics.

    But there have been no real pearls since Higgs proposed his celebrated boson in the 1960's finally confirmed by the LHC (not that anyone doubted it).

    I like to think that the Universe just can't be described mathematically, that there is an underlying irrationality to reality. There are blank areas of the map of reality labeled "Here be monsters" and no amount of theorizing will ever fill them in.

    I would agree that our contemporary knowledge and capabilities are insufficient to penetrate the "here be monsters" unknown depths of our universe and existence. But then again, the "never be able to " has always been a challenge to the greatest dreamers and innovators throughout history.

    Hell 120 years ago, we did not even know if other galaxies existed or if everything we saw in the sky was just part of the milky way. (all praise hubbell)
