“It would be nice if the LHC would find supersymmetry.”

Das CERN hat letzte Woche ein Interview mit Edward Witten (9 Minuten) ins Netz gestellt:

“Supersymmetry updates Einsteins relativity theory to include quantum variables in the structure of space and time. What that would mean in practice is that space-time has a new quantum dimension and an electron vibrating in this quantum dimension would give a new particle that could be produced and detected at LHC. This new particle would be electrically charged like the electron but unlike the electron it would not have mechanical properties.”

    “It’s hard to assign probabilities to something that only happens once and our opinions have nothing to do with what the answer will turn out to be.” – Schöne Antwort

    “Quantum field theory is much harder, and General Relativity is much hard than extra dimensions” – Na dann hab ich ja noch eine Chance, falls ich ART mal durch habe 🙂
