Another possibility is supersymmetry, a proposed standard model extension that gives each known particle a heavier doppelganger, or super-partner. In that case, the BS oscillations could feel indirect effects from different combinations of super-partners, Fleischer says.
He notes that if the effect is real, the Large Hadron Collider, set to become the world's top dog in particle smashers after it goes on line later this year near Geneva, should be able to quickly confirm it and then probe for the underlying particles. "By 2010," he says, "I'm sure we will know the final answer."

Add CommentJust like Johannes Kepler's observations; nature comes up with unpredicted nuances that don't always follow disciplined models. The unexpected is always there, that's why I find things like this so fascinating.

Spectral Hbar-signatures can indeed be detected in the dihydrogen band spectrum, available for about a century but are persistently being ignored by the physics community.
If Antimatter had emerged dominant, would we still have called it 'Antimatter'?

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisB sub s is only compliant in systems where a third pull from a ninety degree angle from the original two matter/antimatter stream lie. If there is no third pull, the first two breakdown.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisPlacing the matter and antimatter across from each other isn't enough. There is a third that pulls and separates them. With out a third, they will conjoin like two magnets feeling their way into a lock, and disappear...
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisImagine a key understanding has yet to be exposed, such as the proposal that all matter and antimater, the underlying fliud mosic of all particles, consists of bound gravitational waves (particles) that decay into monopole waves and it is the constructive and destructive wave interferences that create the effects of gravity, relative time and space, etc. and the lopsided state of the composition of the universe as matter vs antimater. Imagine the universe acceleratelying expanding as a simple function of F=M x A where F is essentially constant, because gravity doesn't pull it synchronizes, and Mass is decreasing as it decays into the gravitational wave. Imagine that the Huygens' principle missing component is this kickback of constructive alignment of matter through the path of least resistance as all matter decays into the gravitational wave and that this constructive interference alignment or
