Antarctica might be Supersymmetric in Nature
The mysterious particles were observed at an Antarctic neutrino observatory called IceCube

The primary idea behind the development of the 17-mile Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was to discover supersymmetric particles, which are thought to exist outside of the collection of particles that constitute the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. While the LHC failed to do so in the 9 years of its operation, it did confirm the existence of the Higgs Boson (the ‘God Particle’) in 2012 – the last addition to the SM. Since then, high-energy particle physics have been at a standstill, as researchers ponder if any existing physics experiment could ever detect a supersymmetric particle. Supersymmetry, which claims that every existing particle in the SM has a supersymmetric partner, could help explain the existence of dark matter, neutrino masses, and the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. Now, two independent observatories in Antarctica have detected mysterious high-energy particles that, according to the researchers, fits the theory of being classified as supersymmetric.

Since March 2016, such particles were twice detected by NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA). Originally designed to hunt cosmic rays from space, ANITA recorded instances of high-energy particles bursting out of the Antarctic ice. The observations befuddled scientists, as particles of such high-energy cant traverse through solid mass owing to their “large cross-sections”. They didn’t fit into particle physics’ SM and was loosely thought to be either sterile neutrinos (neutrinos that rarely ever bang into matter) or “atypical dark matter distributions” present inside Earth.

However, astrophysicist Derek Fox and his colleague Steinn Sigurdsson at Penn State University weren’t thoroughly convinced by these explanations. They looked for similar events in data collected by other detectors to put forward a more plausible explanation regarding the nature of the mysterious particles. They noticed that IceCube, another large neutrino observatory in Antarctica, had detected such particles three times in its operational history. By analyzing the combined IceCube and ANITA data sets, they made a strong statistical case that no conventional particle would travel through Earth’s crust in a similar fashion. They calculated that the high-energy particles had less than a 1-in-3.5 million chance of being part of the SM.

Instead, Fox and his colleagues argued that the particles are most likely to be “stau sleptons” – the supersymmetric version of an SM particle called the tau lepton. The researchers based their assumption on multiple decade-old publications, in which theoretical physicists predicted that stau sleptons might turn up in neutrino observatories across Antarctica. Nonetheless, the project’s lead scientists and a plethora of other physicists have stated that more data, preferably from other instruments, is required to accurately figure out the exact nature of the particle. At the moment, researchers can only say with certainty that the mysterious particle interacts weakly with other particles present in Earth’s crust, enabling them to make the journey to the surface.

While the findings may be the first step towards cracking supersymmetry, more data is definitely required to achieve absolute certainty. If the assumptions are confirmed in the long-term, physicists could get a glimpse into the nature of supersymmetric particles. Nonetheless, the ANITA anomalies might unlock a dawn of new physics at the LHC, which could help explain the nature of the universe and dark matter.

  54. Hey, how’s it going?

    I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!

    In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the captial of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.

    The Jewish people deny Jesus as their Messiah and have stated that their Messiah has been identified and is waiting to be revealed. They say this man will rule the world under a one world religion called “spiritualism”.

    They even printed a coin to raise money for the Temple with Donald Trumps face on the front and with king Cyrus'(who built the second Temple) behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the third Temple.

    The Bible says this false Messiah who seats himself in the Third Temple will be thee antichrist that will bring about the Great Tribulation, though the Jewish people believe he will bring about world peace. It will be a false peace for a period of time. You can watch interviews of Jewish Rabbi’s in Israel speaking of these things. They have their plans set in place. It is only years away!

    More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18:

    He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

    Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!

    Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” (Revelation 14:9-11).

    People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we need two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.

  56. I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also
    with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme
    or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep
    up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays.

  60. I’m гeally enjoying the design and layout of уоur site.

    Іt’s a verｙ easy on the eyes which mаkes it mսch
    moe enjoyable foг me tto ϲome here and visitt morе ᧐ften. Dіԁ yoս hire out а designer too ⅽreate ｙour theme?
    Excellent wоrk!

  62. Aw, this was a really nice post. In concept I wish to put in writing like this moreover E taking time and precise effort to make a very good articleÖ however what can I sayÖ I procrastinate alot and not at all seem to get one thing done.

  64. Thanks for the tips you have shared here. Another thing I would like to convey is that personal computer memory needs generally rise along with other improvements in the technology. For instance, any time new generations of cpus are brought to the market, there is certainly usually a related increase in the type calls for of both the pc memory along with hard drive room. This is because the application operated by way of these processor chips will inevitably rise in power to take advantage of the new technological know-how.
