Black Swans and Just Black Duck
Alexander Unzicker
The Higgs Fake, 2013, pp.38-'9
Almost all the greatest discoveries, those which significantly changed the path of history, came unexpected, or, as Nassim Taleb phrased it, as black swans. The message of the virtue of the unexpected has somehow sunk in within the research community, but in a very weird way. Many see any surprising outcome of an experiment as something positive. Sorry, but why is something you don't understand always positive? Any failure to predict can be declared a success, besides the "usual" success of being vindicated — a good strategy. The really unexpected things you cannot actively generate. When you build a huge collider with particle energies that surely go beyond your understanding, it is almost guaranteed that you will discover something. But this is where discovering something unexpected is perfectly expected.
The history of high energy physics of the last few decades shows that there is a gullible attitude to planning the non plannable, and some find particular pleasure in this kind of coquetry. There is hardly a figure that better represents the thoughtlessness in high energy physics than the British theorist John Ellis. His career consisted of distributing the latest fashions, be it neutral currents, new quarks, or supersymmetry. Never having found out anything, he serves now as a caricature of a theorist, a kind of mascot for the media. In 1982, CERN had informally communicated its results to the British Prime Minister before the official release. (What science, if not corrupt, needs to stay so close to politics?) Ellis off-handedly told Margaret Thatcher that CERN, in its future experiments, hoped to discover the unexpected. It's a good thing that Thatcher's era is over, but she did have what you may call common sense, and she retorted, "Wouldn't it be better if you found what you expected?"
With respect to the standard model, particle physicists have developed this ludicrous attitude we are all used to: either we find a wonderful confirmation of our models or — even more exciting — a contradiction. In any case a tremendous success. This is the prototype of a nonfalsifiable model, according to Karl Popper — the opposite of science. With the same kind of wacky philosophy, theorists had insured themselves until right up to the "discovery" of the Higgs boson in 2012. The standard model, with its complication, its ad-hoc patches of contradictory data, and its lack of predictive value, is the best example of a Kuhnian crisis, but at the same time the people involved have the least prospect of getting out of it. It is high time that the standard model became history.

Kindergarten for pandas exists.
The Chengdu R&D base in China seems to be the cutest place on earth. There is a unique "kindergarten" for the cubs of giant pandas, whose population in nature is under threat of extinction and numbers only about 1864 individuals.

Harp seals are one of the funniest and most unusual animals.
According to scientists, they hear excellently - both in water and on land, and in addition to sight, they often use echolocation for orientation.
