Higgs Nonsense: enough is enough
Three years after the discovery of the new boson (with 125.4 Gev), the Higgs mechanism (elephant swims in a tar-lake) is not verified (see the article from Nigel Lockyer, Director of Fermi Lab. athttp://www.quantumdiaries.org/2014/04/24/massive-thoughts/ ).
Peter Woit (a prominent particle physicist) commented on September 28, 2015: “You need to, when possible, experimentally test an idea like the Higgs mechanism, not just believe it since it seems to be the most plausible idea. Often ideas you think are the most plausible turn out to be wrong (or only part of the story); http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=8002&cpage=1#comment-220120 .”
Theoretical Physicist Matt Strassler wrote (on December 15, 2015): “We are calling the new Higgs particle ‘Standard Model-like’ because we have a lot of work left to do before we can be confident that it really is the one that is present in the Standard Model. (http://profmattstrassler.com/2015/12/15/exciting-day-ahead-at-lhc/ ).
In fact, the mass of this newly discovered particle (named as Higgs boson) cannot be calculated by ALL mainstream physics models, and this is confirmed in the article {China’s Great Scientific Leap Forward, [on Sept. 24, 2015, by DAVID J. GROSS (Nobel Laureate in physics) and EDWARD WITTEN (recipient of the U.S. National Medal of Science)], They wrote: “But the discovery [new boson] also left many questions unanswered. These include the mass of the Higgs particle, the unification of all subatomic forces, … “,seehttp://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-great-scientific-leap-forward-1443136976 }.
On June 22, 2015, George Johnson (The New York Times) wrote, “… Other values, like the mass of the Higgs, or the strength of the force that binds together the cores of atoms, appear to be just as finely tuned. Bump the dials just barely, and nothing like our universe could exist.”
Johnson is in fact referring to the Higgs boson mass which was not calculable with any mainstream models. Thus, the search (for it) was from 104 Gev all the way to 800 Gev before its discovery. Six months before the announcement, Gordon Kane and collaborators (by having some inside information) used some special assumptions to get the Higgs mass to be between 105 and 129 GeV. The following is the pictograph-scheme for the neutron decay in the Standard Model.
There are three steps in this model.
Step 1, d to u transformation, a flavor change.
Step 2, this flavor change is derived by a W (-) particle, weak current.
Step 3, W (-) decays into e (-) and e-neutrino.
Then, what is the source of this {flavor change/weak current)? The answer was the ‘Higgs mechanism”, which can house a ‘Higgs boson’.
However, this wild goose answer does not provide any way of calculating that goose’s mass. A new boson’s mass was measured, without any theoretical base. And, it is still the case even after the discovery. Gordon Kane’s work is not legitimate as a true science.
On the other hand, the neutron decay is explained with a total different mechanism, see the scheme (from page 20, Super Unified Theory, US copyright TX 1-323-231, issued on April 18, 1984) below.
In this process (mechanism), it consists of also three steps.
S1, neutron interacts with the external vacuum (space-time) first to form a 5-quark blob, a particle/space-time mixing.
S2, a vacuum (d, d-) is transformed into a new vacuum (u, u-), a vacuum transformation.
S3, the exchange of prequarks, W (-) like operation.
In this mechanism, the S2 is mediated with a vacuum boson, and its mass should be:
{Vacuum energy divided by 2} + {a push over energy (vacuum fluctuation)}
The vacuum fluctuation is selected (not measured) as 1% of the vacuum energy. And, this equation is not a prediction nor a postdiction but is the direct consequence of the dynamics.
If the vacuum energy is 20, then the mass of its vacuum boson will be
{20/2} + {20 x 0.01} = 10.2
As the ‘measured’ vacuum energy = 246 Gev., this vacuum boson mass must be
{246/2} + {246 x 0.01} = 123 + 2.46 = 125.46 Gev.
The above calculation has only one parameter: the vacuum energy. As a vacuum boson, its key feature is having a zero (0) spin.
{Note: the official measurement of mH (the new boson’s mass) up to now (July 4, 2015) is,
mH = 125.09 ± 0.21 (stat) ± 0.11 (syst) GeV.
or, mH = 125.09 ± 0.24 GeV
With the uncertainties for the vacuum energy (246 Gev) and vacuum fluctuation (1% +/- …), the 125.46 Gev value can be refined.}
That is, the Higgs mechanism is wrong, totally nonsense, and of course there is no Higgs boson; it is a Vacuum Boson. The better detail is available athttp://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/particle-physics-basics/the-known-forces-of-nature/the-strength-of-the-known-forces/#comment-61734 .
Of course, the above explanation might not be enough to show that Higgs boson is totally wrong. Yet, we can ask a very simple question. What can Higgs boson do for nature? The answer is simply ‘nothing’. Higgs boson does no good on answering any open questions {the dark energy, the dark mass, the calculation of nature constants, the rising of mass of all particles, etc.}. On the other hand, the vacuum boson gives answers to all (see,https://tienzengong.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/dark-energydark-mass-the-silent-truth/ and
Then, SUSY is now becoming a religion (no longer a science), as no amount of scientific evidences can kill their faith on the SUSY parousia (see,https://medium.com/@Tienzen/john-pashkow-you-have-a-very-wise-question-but-got-a-very-bad-answer-419b2cf6304d ). However, there is one more piece scientific evidence for the sober minded people.
When a six feet tall man stands in a group of million people who have an average height of five and a half feet, it will take a lot of data to find him out from this big background. Yet, when a man of sixty feet tall in this back ground, he can be spotted with a single glance.
At LHC, the back ground data is measured with a unit of femtobarn (fb-1). LHC has done a thorough search for any particle with mass of 800 Gev, with negative result. For 1.4 TeV gluino (based on SUSY docutrine), it has no back ground issue as it is many ORDER taller than the back ground. The issue is its production rate, and it should be produced enough with 0.7 fb-1 of data (collisions). LHC has collected about 4 femtobarn of data (with 13 Tev collision energy, about two times higher than the Run 1) on November 6, 2015, and no sign of gluino. For the sober minded people, you can sleep with peace from now on, without worrying about some SUSY ghosts which could crash down on you in your dream any more. Yet, no one reports this to you, as most of the prominent physicists are SUSY devotees. This is an issue of honesty.
The 2015 physics Nobel on Neutrino oscillation is a good choice, but the major physics blogs did not celebrate it at all, completely silent. See,

Peter woit: http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=8032 The 2015 physics Nobel was listed as 3rd item in an article of ‘This and That’.

While the ‘Neutrino oscillation’ was a great choice for Nobel, it is a discovered FACT without any theoretical understanding by the mainstream physics community. Without the ability of addressing the {Higgs nonsense} issue, no one is willing to discuss the MEANING of ‘Neutrino oscillation’ anymore.
On December 15, 2015, CERN released the RUN 2 (13 Tev) data, and there is a hint about a bump around 750 Gev region. Thus far, no mainstream model is able to explain this. Yet, in the vacuum boson model, the first excited state of VACUUM (vev) sits right there. The key TEST is that {when this new bump appear, the old bump (vacuum boson or wrongly named as Higgs boson) will be reduced (if not disappear altogether). This PREDICTION is now readily testable, even with the currently available data. See, https://tienzengong.wordpress.com/2015/12/16/can-a-new-lhc-bump-rescue-the-higgs-nonsense/ .
The last but not the least is the issue of QUANTUM GRAVITY (QG). Higgs mechanism can do absolutely nothing on this QG issue. On the other hand, this Vacuum Boson gives rise to QG, see https://medium.com/@Tienzen/quantum-gravity-mystery-no-more-1d1bf39ad255#.r27qw9g1t .
That is, enough is enough: the Higgs nonsense must be cut out right now. There is no chance that we can out-argue with Nature.
