not only the symmetry is violated,but must be violated in decayment of meson K or B and its respectives antiparticles must break the reversal time and indicate strong asymmetry to the time.is possible that strong interactions be linked to spontaneous symmetry breaking to supersymmetry,then other symmetry must
renormalize that lose
is possible that if encounter in the LHC seeks superparticles extended at supercontinuies of space-time,that solve the paradox of eletric dipoles in superfluids that strngeness cause
in reversal time,breaking causality and therefore PT

What a weird diagramatic representation, a flipping penguin. No wonder the model dosnt work.

What if there are no GLUONS?

Sinha has an attitude that treats physics like some kind of fashion trend. His put down of the standard model as stubbornly persistent sounds stupid. If the standard has persisted there is a reason for it. Either it has features that do the job of portraying the the physical world as it is or the other theories have seem to be decaying into incoherent partial decsritions of the universe as it is and that leaves the standrad model as the standard model.

I rather like this new style.

I just wanted to say "thank you" for such a well written article. Most excellent.

Does this mean that our present method of dating artifacts, based on radioactive decay could be wrong? A lot of archaeologists and paleontologists have based their careers on present age assumptions. If present age assumptions are wrong, this discovery may have the potential to dramatically impact several other disciplines.

This will have no effect on radioactive decay dating.

The potential variations in derived dates are dependent on initial abundance and experimental uncertainty.

The half-life of an isotope is an experimental determined observable.

Even if my understanding of the impact is incorrect, understanding/revision of the value for an isotope half-life will only be accomplished by experimental measurements.



The reported variations being discuss involve particles that are composed of bottom and an anti-strange quarks not the up and down quarks of everyday matter (neutrons and protons). This B meson has a half-life about 1.5 E –12 seconds.

The New Physics in this area CP violation would have impact in the predictions of how the early universe came to consist of matter not anti-matter or a matter/anti-matter mix.

Nice topic, but don't memorize the diagram because it's flawed. The final state cannot be two antistrange quarks because that would have fractional charge and (what's worse) the process would violate charge conservation. Instead the final state has to be b s-bar, since that's the antiparticle of the initial state. So the quark in the upper right is a b.

Yes, the standard model works. Particle physics is searching for something underlying it because, for one reason, the SM has too many free parameters to be a very satisfactory theory. We hope over time to find an underlying theory. So the eternal hope that we'll find a problem with the standard model is that perhaps that problem will point us to which one of many candidates for an underlying theory might be correct.

The content of this article has been superseded by http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-ph/pdf/0608/0608169.pdf hep-ph/0608169 (August 2006) Patterns of New Physics in B Decays by Maxime Imbeault, David London, Chandradew Sharma, Nita Sinha and Rahul Sinha, which says that any new physics considered here can be removed by redefinition of the standard model diagrams, and consequently there are no clean signals beyond SM in such decays.
