> The unexpected discovery of the double-charm tetraquark... <

Meh. I’m not impressed. Just last week my cat discovered a triple-charm pentaquark.

I really dislike all this type of Friday sneaky news dump...
Something has to be very “fishy”...

Lots of tetraquark evidence was demonstrated, discussed, and made public by Armin Shimerman way back in 1993...

This is old, & now, plagiarized news...

Sheldon Stone, the group’s leader.
***Are we sure it’s not Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory? ;-)

I think Garret Lisi predicted the discovery of this kind of particle with his E8-based simple Theory of Everything.

Harumph. When I opened the box, your cat was dead. I’m 99.5% certain.

...quarks glom together in complementary sets of three to make the proton, the neutron and other so-called baryons, while pairs of quarks make up various types of “meson” particles.

Obviously 4 Quarks glom together to make Par-mesons...................

If it exists, it’s not impossible. Anyway, what’s one more particle for physics students to have to learn?

Sharon? In high school her nickname was Share-n-share alike.

Perhaps she contributed to Langmuir's "shared electron theory".

Irving Langmuir
1881-1957

American chemical physicist who was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for work on surface chemistry. From studies of surface films on liquids Langmuir deduced approximate molecular sizes and shapes, and his studies of gas absorption at solid surfaces led to the Langmuir absorption isotherm. He also developed a shared-electron theory of chemical bonds. While at General Electric (1919-1950) Langmuir developed many devices, including an improved light bulb, enhanced vacuum pump, and hydrogen welding torch.

I blame the elves. They made the rings. One ring to rule them all. Who makes something like that? It’s not Sauron’s fault he wanted one.

Off topic.

The Lord of Hosts spoke to me in a dream.

He said, humans seek Me, but will not find. Mankind desires My powers, but will not covet.

I gave you My Son, and you hung him on a tree.

I will confuse your language and cause strife among you.

The Lord of Hosts says, repent and believe in the Gospel and don't piss Me off anymore. Remember what I did to the Egyptians

So sayth the Lord of Hosts.

One of the more interesting takeaways from the article is how little we really know about fundamental particles, even at this date.

In 2001, Sharon Stone’s husband discovered what happens when a human interacts with a Komodo dragon.

in 2018, another Komodo dragon walked down her street.
