Bold prediction: proton lifetime ~6×10³³ yr. Current Super-K limit: >2.4×10³⁴ yr — a ~4× tension. #Hyper-K will decide definitively. If no #proton decay by 2035, falsified. @Fermilab #ProtonDecay #GUT #Physics

T model: 3 generations = 3 gauge breakings (E8→E6→SO(10)→SU(5)→SM). 19 params vs 26 SM. 16/18 observables >96%.
Predictions: δ_CP=180°, m_ββ=2.9 meV, Σm_ν=0.059 eV. Tension: V_ub 2.8× off.

E₆ GUT Cascade Model: 3 Generations = 3 Gauge Breakings
GUT model based on the chain E₈ → E₆ → SO(10) → SU(5) → G_SM where each breaking generates a generation. 13 Q/L parameters + 6 M_R = 19 total (vs 26 in the SM), 16/18 observables at >96%. Falsifiable ...

🤯 Does the universe's building block, the proton, *decay*? Scientists sought proof, but it lasts >10³⁴ years—far longer than the universe itself! ✨ #particlephysics #protondecay #GUTs

Might the proton decay in other places or at other times?
Does the proton decay? While this was a famous prediction of Grand Unified Theories (GUTS) developed in the 1970s and 1980s, experimentalists have ruled it out—or rather, put lower limits on its mean lifetime of about 1034 years. That's 20 orders of magnitude greater than the age of the universe.

...proton decay, if it occurs, would have significant implications for the ultimate fate of the universe.
