Science loves to smash stuff together to see how it works.

This may not always be the best approach.

Imagine a primitive person seeing a cell phone. If they smash it into small pieces that will not be very helpful in determining how it works.

There are probably a lot of flaws in the current model of particle physics.

[BenLurkin]

They involve complicated interactions of virtual particles – particles that don't persist long enough to go anywhere, but arise in principle in the fluctuations of quantum uncertainty...

“They involve complicated interactions of virtual particles....”

Sooo.... does that mean that they really don’t exist?

You might break down quickly too if a society of primarily homely mesons was trying to oppress your outcomes.

[nomorelurker]

I’m waiting for the Unicorn particle, then we will have the complete theory.

[calico_thompson]

OK Go back to the sand box.

[Stosh]

Oh, great, now I guess I can flunk it again.

Even the most stable of mesons fall apart after hundredths of a second.

These short-lived particles (mesons) are regularly created in the upper atmosphere via collision with atmospheric particles and incoming cosmic rays from space.

Although they have such an incredibly short life span after creation, more of them manage to make it to the ground and are picked up by detectors than are expected. This is because they are traveling at a comparatively high proportion of the speed of light and so their sense of time from our perspective is slowed down enough such that they can survive long enough to complete the trip.

This observation has been used as a confirmation of Einstein's theory of relativity. The phenomenon is known as Time Dilation. Interestingly, from the mesons' frame of reference, it is the *distance traveled* that changes. It sees the distance from the point of creation to the earth's surface shortened by an associated phenomenon known as Length Contraction. Both are parts of the Theory of Relativity, as seen relative to the two reference frames.

Author made statement in article that we have “seen things in nature like dark matter”...uh..no..havent “seen” or visualized dark matter yet.

Joe's staff really needs to better calibrate his alzheimer's meds.

“This electron or muon outcome should be 50-50. But that’s not what we’re seeing. Results are showing far more of the electron-positron products than muon-anti-muons.”

“You might break down quickly too if a society of primarily homely mesons was trying to oppress your outcomes.” ~gnarledmaw

Once the muon-antis are properly mated with the homely mesons, we should have some antisocial ugly Masons pop into existence.

[Delta 21]

There is nothing new under the sun or in physics.

Only tons and tons of stuff that you dont know.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks BenLurkin.
