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.

“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.

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.

Stranger than I thought? Not a chance.

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.

evidence of quasiparticles called anyons has been found by a team of scientists at Purdue University. Electrical interference in the experiment created a pattern which the researchers called a “pyjama plot”; jumps in the interference pattern were the signature of the presence of anyons.

Wow, what a coincidence....Following our softball game yesterday, a few of us were sitting around enjoying a couple of beers when that very topic came up........Weird....

As strange as the quantum world is, it isn't stranger than the idiocracy we're living through today...black is white, yes is no, off is on and up is down...aiyiyi!!!

Have a great Labor Day everyone!!!

" the quantum world is even stranger than we thought"

Balderdash! How do they know what we actually thought?

maybe someday the scientists will figure it all out.

but then again, perhaps not:

“New evidence that the quantum world is even stranger than we thought”

Maybe, but was it really strange before we thought about it?

The quantum world probably just behaves strange when we are looking.

Anyons appear to me to be “hive-mind” neurons that remember their prior interactions.
