      SUSY is not yet definitively ruled out, but if there was something to it, you'd really have expected to see some sort of evidence of it by now. There is still (just) room for some versions at energies just beyond what the LHC has been running at, but they weren't generally well regarded even by SUSY enthusiasts. Then again, you do experiments to see what the actual result is, sometimes you are surprised

      This was a question from the Q&A and that's how it ended. As to why we're doing clips? With the lockdown in place and most of our staff on furlough, we are not filming any talks in the theatre, so we are repurposing some of our older material. This gives people who may have missed the original a chance to revisit it.

      I’m under the impression that the current understanding is that it is impossible to extract said energy, as in, to use it as an energy source. If you mean something else by “harness”, such as “do something useful which in some way relies on our understanding of it”, that is a different question I guess, and may be possible.

      as they missed more marks and the bar got pushed out of the park, they lost any hand they had.
      now they need 2 3 jumps in the LHC to even be in the area of superstring stuff. and the far cheaper was to do it is to look up for the collisions we need. they be able to do that before anyone going to dump trillions more into the LHC and running it. and that is going to take time.
      and meanwhile dark matter seeking goes how? maybe.

      "Losing confidence" is a strange way to phrase it.
      If I have a more or less working theory and after a while some predictions of that theory turn out to be false, then I would say that I "lose confidence" in the theory.
      But what if I have a theory that so far has not made any single prediction that has been confirmed by observation? How do I "lose confidence" in such a theory?
