I’ll look them up.

I can go both ways with regard to Schrödinger’s cat .

As I understand it, you will soon be able to go to the bathroom of your choice in North Carolina. So you've got that going for you.

What they put Schrodinger's cat through turned me off to it completely....

Well, to be fair, they did and they didn't.

How relates your comment to the subject? ;-P

Perhaps that is the genesis of supernovae? Sufficient matter and antimatter collide?

The antimatter specrum, ΛIqפ⅄Oɹ?

Naturally, the CERN researchers were very excited by this find, and it is expected to have drastic implications. Beyond offering a new means of testing the Standard Model, it is also expected to go a long way towards helping scientists to understand why there is a matter-antimatter imbalance in the Universe. Yet another crucial step in discovering exactly how the Universe as we know it came to be.

As a rube, non-scientist living in GreenAcres allow me to help these uber-smart people out...

GOD said, Light be and Light is.

Wonderful! - Thanks for the link.

My favorite line: “An experimental check was maintained by replacing the last five bottles in each case with bottles of English beer, which the experimenters have discovered can only be drunk when extremely saturated with darkons (or “cold” in everyday language).”

So apparently the bloody CERN experiment was just an elaborate process for cooling their beer, cleverly disguised as a method for doing NMR on anti-matter.

You are welcome. I have been tracking Darkon research for 20 years or so.

“and just what is the speed of dark, anyways?”

Good question - unbeknownst to me, that value apparently has been determined (see the link in reply 50):

” . . . has shown the speed of darkon propagation to be

-2.5502072 x 10^8 mil/døgn

where the unit of distance, the Norwegian mil is equal to ten kilometres and the unit of time, the Norwegian døgn is, as we have previously indicated, 24 hours of total darkness.”
