Weyl fermions are what's known as quasiparticles ...

I'm quasi-excited.

Looks to me like “Scotty - beam me up” may become a reality.

How in the name of Pete did this German physicist Weyl imagine this existed in 1929?

That’s what’s mind boggling - the intelligence and imagination of some of these guys: Newton, Weyl, Einstein, etc. is WAY beyond my comprehension level.

Not sure but if it results in lower latency between my audio interface and my rack synths I’m gonna go fine me a Green chick in Kirk’s honor ;)

This only confirms what Julian Simon said was the ultimate resource: the human mind. If you have never read his book you should. He made a fool of Paul Ehrlich from Stanford, a fool by any measure. Here it is: http://www.juliansimon.com/writings/Ultimate_Resource/

There is only one thing I can figure. Most of them are very not normal. Einstein and shoe laces etc. I have to believe their brains are wired toward exactly one thing/area. When it works you get these guys. When it doesn’t, you get mental illness/autism and such.

That means we will have artificial intelligence soon.

We are so screwed.

I’ll check it out. I have some of the “crazy science for dummies” books by Kaiku, Kip thorne and those guys. Anything that rips an eco population idiot is something I’m interested.

Don’t think of it as demon puppies. Think of it as “Normie gets Lydia” and everything will be just fine ;)

"researchers have confirmed the existence of a massless particle"

Democrats have been around a long time.

lol ...and if it allows me to run mix down sessions in Pro Tools 12 where playbacks can be heard in my studio and my partners remote California studio simultaneously and synchronously, I’m a fan of the massless particle.

That’s a “Brainless” particle”. Unless you meant testically.
