Based on the dagger's chemistry and a 3,400-year-old tablet, scientists don’t think it’s from Egypt.

With the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, every elementary particle predicted by the Standard Model of physics has now been found.
Yet the field is far from ‘done’. Among the continuing work, physicists are still looking for a grand unified theory that explains the forces that operate at the subatomic level – a common understanding that accounts for the disparate phenomena we observe among the particles we have in hand.

QUOTING:
Richard Feynman famously said, "I think I can safely say that
nobody understands quantum mechanics." Since Feynman won
a Nobel Prize in physics for his work in quantum theory, he
certainly understood how to use it. Indeed, quantum mechanics
(QM) "has survived all tests" and "we all know how to use it
and apply it to problems," yet Murray Gell-Mann (who also won
a Nobel Prize for his work in quantum theory) agreed with
Feynman, saying, "we have learned to live with the fact that
nobody can understand it."

Today I found out there were successors to the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone book.
Naturally went to Wiki and found out----some people argue that the stories have no value because they present no lessons.
The stories are FICTION. Give me an example of fiction having life changing effects. Plus they riff on real life, and academe, so they have a value in illuminating our world. Doesn't mean you want to read them.
