Oh, no, not stranger! Anything but stranger!

Any bosons (light) you can shed on this subject will be greatly appreciated! :-)

The more we learn, the less we know.

My work disputes this.

So these Anyons can be one thing and look like another.

Sort of the transvestites of the quasiparticles.

Mine would too if I ever did any.

They identify as other kinds of quasiparticles.

“Normally in the world of physics, we think about fundamental particles, such as protons and electrons, and all of the things that make up the periodic table,” he said“

They start out with physics and then toss in chemistry.

That’s simply not fair. Or proper.

I've known this all along.

Don’t say that too loud. You might give some justification to all the trannies out there.

Well, there’s a lot of numbers at the top of the page.

And I see pie. It’s blue, so it must be blueberry pie.

Ah, yes. Al Gore predicted all of this years ago when he said “Global Warming will cause anyons to have characteristics not seen in other subatomic particles.”

Personally, I think Mr. Gore deserves a Nobel Prize in Physics to go along with his Nobel Peace Prize.

Physicists found a handful of dirt a hundred years ago and point out that one grain is different than the other. That’s not progress.

EXACTLY! Thank you. As a former math major, I often tell my friends not to fret it if they do not understand this stuff because in order to truly understand it, you have to be able to follow the math. Then and only then can you possibly grasp it. So don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get it. It doesn’t mean you’re dumb.

In my own case, I’m over the hill and far too old to even try to follow the math nowadays. Therefore, I’ll never truly understand it and can only make light of it.

They just need to look down between their quasiparticle legs to see what they are.

I think everything is probably a lot stranger than we CAN think.

We seem to learn a tiny bit, every generation, which slowly causes us to change our minds about some things - and this evolves our understanding in a manageable and not overwhelming way.

But every generation, despite the historical lessons of science and human error, still seems to think that it really UNDERSTANDS it all. (And that assumption has often caused us to make big mistakes...)

Life and Science are endlessly fascinating and full of rewarding opportunities.

Oh great! The electrons keeping less of their charge because they become part of the collective and ‘share’ a part of their charge is going to be the DemonRats/BernieBros/AOC/Hidin-Biden’s talking points that Socialism is the ‘better nature’.

Gag me. We can’t even keep our electrons free as individuals.
