I get the sense that even if choosing the correct TOE theoretically allowed us to do all that neat "control gravity/control radio-decay" stuff, it would be at astoundingly energy levels. Like, Big Bang levels. No? Yes? No way to know?

This forum is specifically for the discussion of factual science and technology. When the topic moves to speculation, then it needs to also move to the parent forum, Science Fiction and Fantasy (SF/F).
If the topic of a discussion becomes political, even remotely so, then it immediately does no longer belong here. Failure to comply with these simple and reasonable guidelines will result in one of the following.
- the thread will be moved to the appropriate forum
- the thread will be closed to further posts.
- the thread will remain, but the posts that deviate from the topic will be relocated or deleted.
Thank you for understanding.
Possible Higgs Event
- Thread starter Maxx
- Start date
I have no idea, but when you think about the unexpected findings of detector experiments (eg, the neutrinos from
supernova 1987a
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1988SvAL...14...41A ),
it seems like working on defining the Higgs (if there is one) is bound to
have many as-yet-unimaginable pay-offs.

That's the plain Standard Model. The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) would allow such a Higgs -- it would be one of the heavier MSSM ones.
The plain SM predicts only one Higgs, a neutral one.
The MSSM predicts 5 Higgs states: 3 neutral ones, and a charged one with +1 and -1 versions.
