Maybe this will be THE anomaly at the start of the 21st that is pointing and will lead to NEW physics.
Anyway, beware: '' Then there is the possibility of a statistical fluctuation. I think this is the most likely explanation, and I am willing to bet $100 with as many as five takers that the two measurements will be reconciled with each other once more statistics is added, and that no observation of a double state will be made. This however might take three years to sort out, given the impending shutdown of the LHC.
Finally, you might instead want to believe that we are indeed looking at the first hint of new physics -Supersymmetry or some other model producing multiple Higgs-like particles. Very exciting, but I just do not buy that.
Time will tell! So if you have some extra cash to throw away consider taking the bet... ''.

Crato e Gaspar disponíveis para minorar efeitos de cortes no Ensino Superior - Sociedade - PUBLICO.PT
´´ “Estamos a trabalhar com o Ministério das Finanças para concretizar uma resolução dos problemas e verificar melhor a sua dimensão”, disse Nuno Crato aos deputados da Comissão Parlamentar de Orçamento, Finanças e Administração Pública.
Para isso, Crato e Gaspar têm “abertura” disponíveis para “reunir com os reitores e os presidentes dos Politécnicos”.
“Sabemos as dificuldades que têm e queremos estar do lado da solução”, garantiu.
O ministro recomendou aos institutos superiores politécnicos que se coordenem com as escolas secundárias para receber alunos do ensino profissional, apontando-lhes esse caminho para resolverem as dificuldades colocadas pelos cortes orçamentais.
Nuno Crato afirmou que os politécnicos precisam de “coordenar a oferta”.
“Um dos caminhos que temos indicado é coordenarem-se com o ensino profissional secundário. Têm instalações, professores e especialistas que as escolas secundárias não têm e podem oferecer uma experiência avançada mais cedo que o habitual”, defendeu.
O ministro indicou que esta ideia “é algo para pôr em prática já este ano”, frisou.
Quanto à racionalização da rede de ensino superior, Nuno Crato destacou o “exemplo” da Universidade de Lisboa e Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, que têm em curso um projeto de fusão que é mais que uma “junção” das duas instituições.
Nuno Crato afirmou que a racionalização da rede, que o Governo fará sempre “dentro dos limites constitucionais”, deve significar, à semelhança daquele processo de fusão, uma “real cooperação” entre instituições e “coordenação de oferta de cursos”.
Nuno Crato afirmou que as universidades devem ter em conta que “se existem por exemplo 10 cursos de uma determinada área, devem pensar em limitar essa oferta”. ´´
E o above é o obvio, o $$$$, protesta, pode ser que.
Mas a reorg NAO sera isso.
Terá a ver com ''valores proprios''. Vectores. Cuidem-se. Eu explico um dia destes. Entretanto comprem camomila eg. Bastante.
