I just wish we could convince our own theoretical physics community to give up the metaphysics and come back to science like the CERN guys.

I have disproved this article and its entire premise by doing simple high school science experiments. When I lit the bunsen burner, the flame ignited. If the universe didnt exist, we wouldnt have oxygen. Thus the flame would not ignite without this crucial gas. I would be very surprised if science could even make a cogent argument about the bunsen oxygen problem. Even Bill Nye will acknowledge the flame burning is contigent on the universe existing.

You stated that science being performed without experimentation was 'metaphysics'. Do you think Hawking is working out advanced mile-long formulas, and plugging them into a super-collider in his head? No. He's doing thought experiments - just like Einstein did.

What is Hawking's nationality?

I praised European physicists and you used Hawking as an example of the American physicists I criticized.

Start connecting some dots.

European physicists are still doing real science. They are almost in a golden age right now compared to us.

You're just jealous that I found it before you.

It would be fair to say that Newsweek was just reporting on a science article published elsewhere--in this case, Nature. Written by these 17 guys:

The abstract of the actual article provides:

A parts-per-billion measurement of the antiproton magnetic moment
Precise comparisons of the fundamental properties of matter– antimatter conjugates provide sensitive tests of charge–parity–time (CPT) invariance1, which is an important symmetry that rests on basic assumptions of the standard model of particle physics. Experiments on mesons2, leptons3,4 and baryons5,6 have compared different properties of matter–antimatter conjugates with fractional uncertainties at the parts-per-billion level or better. One specific quantity, however, has so far only been known to a fractional uncertainty at the parts-per-million level7,8: the magnetic moment oftheantiproton,μp.Theextraordinarydifficultyinmeasuringμp with high precision is caused by its intrinsic smallness; for example, it is 660 times smaller than the magnetic moment of the positron3. Here we report a high-precision measurement of μ p in units of the nuclear magneton μN with a fractional precision of 1.5 parts per billion (68% confidence level). We use a two-particle spectroscopy method in an advanced cryogenic multi-Penning trap system. Our result μ p = −2.7928473441(42)μN (where the number in parentheses represents the 68% confidence interval on the last digits of the value) improves the precision of the previous best μ p measurement8 by a factor of approximately 350. The measured value is consistent with the proton magnetic moment9, μp = 2.792847350(9)μN, and is in agreement with CPT invariance. Consequently, this measurement constrains the magnitude of certain CPT-violating effects10 to below 1.8 × 10−24 gigaelectronvolts, and a possible splitting of the proton– antiproton magnetic moments by CPT-odd dimension-five interactions to below 6 × 10−12 Bohr magnetons11.
But yeah, Newsweek picked it up, so hey, it's obviously crap.
