The vacuum energy discrepancy (or "cosmological constant problem") is one of physics' biggest embarrassments. Theoretical predictions miss the observed value by 10120 times! So when SUSY (Supersymmetry) theorists manage to get their calculations "only" wrong by 1060, they're simultaneously devastated and proud. It's like missing your exit by 60 miles instead of 120 and calling it progress. The chess player's expression perfectly captures that mix of "I've failed spectacularly but technically improved" energy that keeps theoretical physicists awake at night.
At Least It's Not 120 Anymore
