Aug 24, 2016 at 16:14 comment added Bob Bee True. And hopefully something new will still come out of LHC
Aug 24, 2016 at 8:53 comment added flippiefanus True, well at least they found that neutrinos have mass, which is new physics beyond the standard model.
Aug 23, 2016 at 17:26 comment added Bob Bee And the ether was 40 or 50 years till that well accepted theory got disproven. And we still have the major problems of the issues in the standard model, quantum gravity, dark matter and dark energy. BTW, it s been maybe 20 or 30 years since we had had the standard model and general relativity more or less established and verified, and basically no new physics. Is it not good enough theories or not good enough experiments?
Aug 23, 2016 at 17:16 comment added Bob Bee Yes, well, it took gravitational waves 101 years and the Higgs maybe 40. But both were confirmed. For the Higgs it served as impetus to build the LHC. It s always a risk
Aug 23, 2016 at 5:08 comment added flippiefanus Thanks for the update. Problem with a field when it proceeds for so long without experimental confirmation is that one does not know whether any of it has any correlation with what actually happens in nature.
Aug 23, 2016 at 4:49 comment added Bob Bee Sorry myself. There is a tendency to not accept any statement not experimentally proved on this site. Good question: there is some hope they can see some relatively light black holes from the big band or way in the past tHat might be at the end of their life now, and see some X rays etc. but nothing on that yet. Also micro black holes at the LHC but I'M not sure how likely, and nothing of course. If there were any measurements it'd be big news and a Nobel prize for Hawking. My thought is that black holes can give us some ideas of how to get to quantum gravity, nothing there either. AdS/CFT?
Aug 23, 2016 at 4:42 comment added flippiefanus Sorry, it was not meant to be a criticism. I just wanted to know if I'm still allowed not to believe any of it. ;-)

Noted on lack of observational evidence of Hawking radiation. Though the theory is commonly accepted.
Aug 23, 2016 at 4:31 comment added Bob Bee Correct. And so nobody can ask any questions about black hole radiation? Or questions are ok but no answers allowed? Still, I edited and said in the context of the theory.
Aug 23, 2016 at 4:08 comment added flippiefanus "The above is now commonly accepted in black hole physics" -- yet none of it has been confirmed through experimental observations, right?
