Asymmetric Quarks Defy Standard Model of Physics
Ron Cowen in Nature News:
Newly released observations of the top quark — the heaviest of all known fundamental particles — could topple the standard model of particle physics. Data from collisions at the Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, hint that some of the top quark's interactions are governed by an as-yet unknown force, communicated by a hypothetical particle called the top gluon. The standard model does not allow for such a force or particle.
The results, presented1 today at the Europhysics Conference on High-Energy Physics in Grenoble, France, could help researchers to understand the origins of mass. According to one theoretical interpretation, a top quark bound by to its anti-matter partner, the antitop, would act as a version of the elusive Higgs boson, conferring mass on other particles.
Regina Demina, a physicist at the University of Rochester in New York, and her colleagues sifted through eight years' worth of particle-collision data recorded by one of the Tevatron's two detectors, known as DZero. Top quarks produced during collisions can fly off in the direction of the accelerator's proton beam or its antiproton beam; Demina and her team discovered that more travel towards the proton beam than is predicted in the standard model of physics. A different model would seem to be needed to explain the discrepancy.

The so called "standard model" is nothing but a bunch of speculative garbage which has dismally failed to explain anything of value in a self consistent way because no one can solve the complicated non linear equations involved.
If you have enough free parameters, you can explain almost anything with any theory.
The great physics of the past was done by individuals with intelligence, courage and conscience, patience and wisdom. The group physics of 2011 has degenerated to "follower physics" or "follow the leader" physics with not one iota of originality or intelligence. The new physicists are too impatient. They don't want to work all their lives only to discover nothing new and make no new contribution to knowledge.
No one has ever observed a single particle with fractional charge. No one has calculated a single hadron self consistently from any number of speculated "quarks".
What is a quark made of? Who knows? These are little more than free parameters to fit data with. These guys and girls are little more than fancy data fitters. What they are doing is like fitting a Taylor's series to the data. There is no true understanding at all.
Over a century ago the genius level physicist Robert Millikan proved from the seminal Millikan Oil Drop Experiment that all electric charge exists in integral multiples of the charge on an electron, and nothing has changed today. No one has ever demonstrated the existence of any fractionally charged particle period.
The great philosophers tell us everything is either a tautology or error. Today the physics followers are in error and moving in circles, fooled by their worthless circular arguments, one card house on top of another.
Even the physics community has finally been corrupted by federal government research money as have the so called "cancer" researchers in the failed war on cancer.
Remember the days when the federal government did not support physics and other research? Yes, those were the days when the great seminal discoveries were made.
In cancer, for example, the cancer generals have squandered over $100 billion, but cannot even tell you what cancer is, let alone how to cure and prevent it in the human body. Over half a million victims will die again this year, mostly from "treatment" but falsely reported as from cancer, since all approved cancer treatments are life threatening.
At least the physicists can take some solace that their failed dogma has not killed upwards of a billion unwitting patients as have the cancer generals with all the blood on their hands.
By the way, do you ever observe the physicists putting up their own money where their mouths are? No, instead they demand government use the police powers of taxation to force money from citizens, to pay for their "research". If the physicists are so good, and knew what they were doing, why wouldn't they put up their own money rather than invoking the philosophy of Robin Hood and use the force and power of government to steal it from others for their selfish makework?
