I hope they keep on working....after all black holes are among the very few mysteries left to figure out and a possible source of development of "new physics". I was rather crushed that the LHC did not find anything new....confirming the Higgs was great but expected....I was hoping for new mysteries that might lead to something Sci-Fi like such as teleportation or FTL travel. Ahhh, reality is a harsh mistress!
You could say that the Standard Model predicted it, both the Higgs Boson and the non-discovery of anything else. For the next few orders of magnitude of Energy, there is nothing but recombinations of the known particles.
It would have been very interesting if for instance, the Higgs Boson also comes in generations like the leptons, or if we had something like a strange Higgs and a top Higgs.
Oh, there's no lack of mysteries. There's still no data at all on what dark matter actually is, beyond "matter, cold, interacts weakly". Dark energy is just as mysterious. Heck, even inflation, which has been a primary focus of cosmology for over a decade, is merely a well-studied mystery.

I'm certain that science will eventually understand how these men did what they did. But at that point, "science" will be more about the internal reality, and less about the external world.
Not sure how this is "new age", these guys are all long gone, dead.
Viktor Schauberger observed trout in a stream and wondered why the fish doesn't have to swim like hell to stay steady in the stream (the stream doesn't push the fish down the stream, as it does with other material in the stream). So he wondered what the mechanism was that held the fish there. He eventually discovered that it's the shape of the fish that enables this. He noticed that the fish has the same shape when looked at from the fron
There's also the mystery that we live and move and breathe and die and love and somehow think it's not a mystery.
But if you want to stay within the realm of physics, consider this ultimate mystery (within the realm of physics) -- https://blogs.scientificameric... [scientificamerican.com]
Seems to me you like mysteries, and you are denying them to yourself.
Science can explain how a neurotransmitter can cross a synapse and fit into a pain receptor on the surface of a neuron, but can't explain why it *hurts*!

Very few mysteries left? We've only started to scratch the surface.

Or maybe Dark Energy and Dark Matter are just the new aether.

Most of how reality works has been obfuscated.

Dont be such a tard, brah.
How can we be fully aware of what's yet to be discovered? In other words, it's likely we're largely unaware of what we don't know.

If you're really interested in science, you should check out the work of these folks:
Viktor Shauberger [youtube.com].
Walter Russell [youtube.com]
Alan Watts [youtube.com] (just a link to a youtube search of his name)
Then finish it all off with Patanjali [youtube.com]

What? Scientists are pursuing answers to countless mysteries in all of those ideas.
But I wouldn't expect a philosophy student to understand that.
