The number of real scalars is 1. The number of gauge bosons is either 11 or 12, depending upon whether the W+ and W- count as one or two gauge bosons (the argument for one is that Weyl fermions don't include anti-particles, while W+ and W- are arguably antiparticles of each other; but it is commonly said that the Standard Model has 12 and not 11 vector fields arguing for counting them as two).<br /><br />Thus N=+/-2. <br /><br />The true Plank mass considering renormalization is u*=MP GeV/sqrt(1+N/12pi). This is 1.0276295*MP GeV if N=-2 and 0.9744879*MP if N=+2, with MP= standard Planck Mass which is about 10^19.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315236707728759521.post-41928251454938469172014-09-03T00:26:20.940-06:002014-09-03T00:26:20.940-06:00Andrew:

Now, the “opinion” of credible and competent physicists is carrying more weight than the data for you. You will definitely lost this bet as you are not betting against one data point but a ‘web’ of data. This data point which I mentioned is connected to ‘all’ known data, and I will just show you two more.<br /><br />One, the Alpha calculation.<br /><br />Two, the string unification (see, http://putnamphil.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-final-post-for-now-on-whether-quine.html?showComment=1403375810880#c249913231636084948 ).Tienzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842156512465678309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315236707728759521.post-57175750192595754922014-09-02T13:22:40.952-06:002014-09-02T13:22:40.952-06:00Suffice it to say that many credible and competent...Suffice it to say that many credible and competent physicists would conclude that the correct answer is that dark matter remains an open question.<br /><br />I am not such a person, but agree with them.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315236707728759521.post-26875065609347757032014-08-29T23:42:36.348-06:002014-08-29T23:42:36.348-06:00andrew: "GR and QCD Inspired Self-Interaction...andrew: "GR and QCD Inspired Self-Interactions Of Gravity With Gravitational Energy May Explain Dark Matter"<br /><br /><br />Anyone with 8th grade math will know that the dark matter issue is now resolved after reading the post at http://scientiasalon.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/the-return-of-radical-empiricism/comment-page-1/#comment-6918 .Tienzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842156512465678309noreply@blogger.com
