The following http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/supersymmetry-squeezed-as-lhc-spots-ultra... http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.2674 http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/life-and-physics/2012/nov/13/supersymmetry... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121113095018.htm all claim a new particle decay has been detected which, while consistent with Standard Model, is very hard to explain with SUSY models since they would seem to predict it must be very rare. "Therefore" supersymmetry is wrong, hence string theory is dead meat. I do not either endorse or dispute this, I'm just pointing out it is there. Presumably running the experiment longer will clarify things. -- Warren D. Smith http://RangeVoting.org <-- add your endorsement (by clicking "endorse" as 1st step)
