> As always, thank you for your integrity in posting articles which often seem to run counter to your own arguments. Here we have physicists acknowledging that the Standard Model is unable to account for gravity and 85% of the mass in the cosmos. 15% apparently = "almost everything", and by definition we have no idea what or how many unknown particles exist. The current “pattern”, which earlier you said “strongly suggests there is a mind behind it”, may therefore be “woefully amiss”. -Once more, the article accepts that the Higgs discovery completed an anticipated pattern. You are railing about what we don't know beyond the pattern. Gravity never fit the pattern. It is one of the existing puzzles outside of it. A pattern which allows predictions suggest it was planned. And minds plan.
