Like why they keep re-electing these bozos.

From the title, I thought this would be an article about transubstantiation ;)

My guesses were a liberal northeast state or a catholic religious service.
"From the title, I thought this would be an article about transubstantiation ;)"
LOL - me too!
nonono... those are "Bozons"
I thought they were going to reveal the big mystery in mass: that everyone is reading the bulletin!!! Or is it just me??
"These quanta must exist, or else the explanation is not right."
It's so refreshing to see a real science at work where direct experimentation is required to test the hypothesis.
Still haven't. The Superconducting Supercollider--, would that have found the hypothetical Higgs boson? We'll never know because the SSC went to the same place the Apollo program went. And a lot of other projects begun but not finished such as the Vietnam War and nuclear power. This country has no business even talking about physics.
Gonna have to sit down with this one...
Ping for later.
Good post. Science, in dealing with the current state of physical matter, again postulates the invisible to explain the visible.
Thanks for the ping!
Also from the article: E=mc^2. Therefore m=E/c^2.
Question 1: Is this the same "m" in both equations?
Question 2: If so, does F/a = E/c^2? I would have thought not. In fact, I would have thought them to be many orders of magnitude apart.
(please forgive me. It's been 30 years since college physics, and I wasn't quite as inquisitive then.)
First time I've been exposed to the three families question. Interesting to ponder what the other two families are really for.
Try this: take a bunch of massless, interacting particles and let them fly around in three dimensions, crashing into each other and bouncing off as they may. Now take their trajectories, and project them onto a two-dimensional plane. As viewed in the two-dimensional plane, the particles interact as if they had masses, the apparent masses being proportional to their momenta in the direction perpendicular to the plane.
It is possible that the particles we see are all actually massless, their apparent masses corresponding to extra-dimensional momentum components we can't as yet detect.
Your math is correct, but what are you trying to explain? The force on an object divided by the acceleration it's undergoing is equal to the total energy contained in that object's mass divided by the square of the speed of light?
Ping for later.
