“The current leading candidates for dark matter are particles predicted to exist from supersymmetric theories, extensions of current particle physics that include a new symmetry of Nature. The reader may recognize the “super” in supersymmetry from superstring theory, a candidate theory for unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics. As of the winter of 2014, no evidence for supersymmetry had been found, despite decades of intense search and the enthusiastic support of many physicists. At this point, it is unclear and somewhat doubtful that supersymmetry is realized in Nature.”

“Finally, and most importantly, we must be concerned about the implications of multiverse theories for the future development of science itself. The multiverse theorists know that they are on weak ground regarding the Testability Principle, and rather than admit that their theories are not science, they argue instead that the rules of science must be adapted to accommodate this kind of metaphysical speculation. They want to change the very definition of science. This is a very slippery slope.”

“Los adultos siguen caminos. Los niños exploran. A los adultos les gusta recorrer siempre el mismo camino, cientos de veces, o miles; puede que nunca se les ocurra salirse de su ruta, arrastrarse bajo los rododendros, encontrar huecos en las vallas.”

“objects are only a set of statistical likelihoods – a cloud of qualities-in-potential, yet to be distilled into any specific form.  We can never simply find out what they are, because their attributes are unfixed until we observe them.  They’re nothing without us. ”
