Before the Big Bang? Supersymmetry dead so far (Origins)

dhw: Ignorant though I am, I do understand what the LHC is looking for (and so far failing to discover). I also understand that the Higgs boson completes one particular segment of the great jigsaw puzzle of our universe, but there are many other pieces that are still missing, which is why various websites insist that the standard model is not complete (or is “circumscribed” as you now put it).-DAVID: One more try. I understand what you understand, BUT, we don't know what were missing. That is my point. We are in a new discovery phase. Strings, membranes, supersymmetry, etc. all unproven.-I understand that we don't know what we're missing, but we do know that the pattern is incomplete. As I understand it, then, the purpose/hope of the LHC researchers is to make new discoveries that will help them find out how the universe began and what it is made of, thus completing the incomplete pattern.-One more try. As I understand your post, we already have an “integrated quantum pattern” which could only have been devised by your God, and no matter what new discoveries are made, they will also have been devised by your God. I don't think we can carry this discussion any further, can we?
