RE: Precision computer simulations for particle colliders - a window on my research

Hey! Nice to hear from you from this alternative account. I am happy to see that you are still around.

Maybe one thing you could do, instead of trying to read the entire paper, would be to focus on the introduction where we present the problem we are trying to solve and explain why they are important for our field. What do you think?

... good morning then again , i'd say ...
if every physical question can be answered by the theory, then the theory is said to be complete ...

The Standard Model is not complete. Even when Jay Wacker says that the Standard Model of the 1990s is complete, I disagree with the statement. There are still many quantities of the Standard Model of the 1990s that have not been measured, and that we won't be able to measure before at least 50 years. So... until one gets there, there is still work to do, IMO.

It's about probability is it , no one can really say it's "like that" [...]

In particle physics, every theory prediction comes with an error bar, so that the central value is what it is, but it won't be shocking if the right answer would be elsewhere in the error bar.

I hope I clarified a little bit :)

ofcourse :) - i don't think one will simply get there ... once the key Kolwynia has been found, then all is said and done after all (it's a reference to jack of shadows/Roger Zelazny). Unless the universe is digital or mathematics is wrong as a language at the very core then it's virtually impossible to actually ever get there, one could only hope to get close , around somewhere , right ?

You can't really box analogue strings like that, be they soundwaves or any waves, there's always a higher resolution so yea i understand you go for the most likely part of the dataset that has the biggest ... how should i say in my own cat-language ... "density" ? the part where most data would reside as closer to ones than zeroes because that is more like the direction , it's vectors, right ? not a square spreadsheet ... quantum mechanics is fascinating matter indeed as the pun goes, but i have to admit after reading three of the pages i still have to decipher the first word into human language because it seems to be some kind of alien manuscript brought back by the mars rover so far :p but i'm sure some things will dawn as they always do, and once there is a hook to attach to things become clearer
(so i'm probably speaking in tongues to you too, but i'm not, am i ... its just like a way of looking at it from another dimension) i do understand most of the core , its the numbers in your field that are just too much for me as i never really got trained into that and i doubt i still will, unless i'd dedicate my last good 20 years to it ... but i got much life to catch up on , ANYWAY ! i'm gonna keep at it until i get the root of it at least, but i think your advise might be wise

(as usual, that's why you are the sensei ;-)

@lemouth

if i may add, in my semi-mystical viewpoint, living in the metaverse where the first one to explain entropy to me as a kid was Jack Vance in the dying earth ( :) ) ... You and yours are much like the celestial bodies "falling" around the center, trying to reach it but never getting really there" , yet nothing stops searching, it's like the whole universe is actively seeking like euh

the truth ?
the center ... balance ? but if it ever did find that point then all would stop, right ? nothing would move and for lack of friction would there still be anything left as there would be like no energy ?

lol, maybe i should start my own cult :D always a pleasure, sensei !!

< [...] one could only hope to get close , around somewhere , right ?

Not even that: we solely can get closer, not more.

From your message, it is not clear. But have you tried to read the actual article? Trying to get the intro would be a nice goal :)

i have, and i still have it in a tab, but as opposed to most other articles or newsletters it doesn't seem to be something i can just read in-between like i usually do when i switch screens or tabs heh , i will certainly try to at least get the notion, you know i think it's fascinating matter can't get more cutting edge than looking for the missing 95% of existence imo :-) so far i can deduce it's all about error margins and getting a usable set out of a whole cloud of unstructured data, but i have to admit it's a bit above my braingrade, maybe not the concepts, but the language used is very technical and probably since it's mainly directed at people who are on it on the daily, nonetheless ... i'm not done with it yet :p
