@Ionus,
That was my point. Ive stated that M,theory IS evidence based and the subparticles within a quark (charm, up, down etc) are measurable. They dont exist in a "fuzzy world" of nonempirical mathturbation only.
All applications and (as far as M is concerned) predictions are slowly built from a few pieces of evidence and the ultimate goal of this process is to combine the various theories of matter and energy. It isnt that the bases dont exist, its more that the further reaches go beyond any evidence (to date). Hadron wasnt built soleley on a whim. It has a number of field applications that will require understandings of many subatomic particles and how they are knitted together. The popular press has focused on one or two sensationalized goals and the search for the boson isnt the thrust of Hadron. Its to further understand how many particles are structured and how they interact between their various quantum states. The overall search for a unifying theory of all energy and mass still eludes us, and how much energy is really needed to warp spacetime.How many quantum states of several elements are able to be distinguished and how can these states be usedful to the fields of chemistry and applied physics? (hint, we will be able to have entire chem labs on a popsicle stick with that kind of information)
The findings from Hadron will cause the finders to have a decade lead in several fields of application beyond mere theoretical physics. As an aside,there are a full several commercial entities that co-sponsor HAdron.
