I feel like this article could be condensed into a simple answer. I got tto annoyed looking for it to find more than the answer, "yes, if the standard model holds"
So at the risk of venting unconstructively, I wish I had a way of screening physics writing that is not a physics paper. Articles like this are frustrating because they only have one or two interesting tidbits for me, but they hide them in a whole lot of highschool level hand waving.
Honestly HN would be perfect if it only allowed physics papers - no pop-physics - and if it banned any blogs or news sites with paywalls or newsletter nagware (looking at you, medium, new york times).
Alas. I'm wishing for something I will have to build if I really want it.
