Quasimodo Particle ping!................

God apparently likes to flummox physicists every once in a while.

infinity, hard to quantize

love the moments, but... the puzzle is infinite.

action at a distance

^that^

stop. how?

entanglement without proximity

that is where the answer lies

what makes that possible?

atoms tingling atoms over great distances at such a speed

I’m facinated

I get the feeling particle physicists sometimes make stuff up just to win Nobel prizes.

[Getready]

That’s where all the dark matter is hangin’ out.Quasiparticles moving in the wrong direction...

[Jamestown1630]

The more we hear from physics, the less the material Universe seems to actually be here at all.

I’m starting to lean toward ‘Matrix’/simulated reality.

[BipolarBob]

We absolutely do live in a computer simulation. Many top notch quantum physicists say the math is there for it. Nothing in the Bible contradicts it. We are spiritual beings in a physical (created) universe in preparation for the eternal universe.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Red Badger. They discovered it when it started to enjoy ringing the bell.

Although solid state physics is not my cup of tea, this seems to be some outstanding work...

In one of the alternative universes I have a vacation house and use semi-Dirac fermion batteries for power…….. well not me directly but my alternative universe self… 🤣

It’s a jersey drone;-)

[BenLurkin]

Dumb question:

If it doesn’t have inertia in the first place, does it really change direction?

[Red Badger]

Subatomic Jughandles?.............

[GOPJ]

Scientists report the first known observation of a variety of antiparticle that exhibits a very peculiar behavior: it appears to have mass, but only while moving in one direction.

It's, it's it's the anti-gravity anti-particle...

So it's a Cheney.

[rightwingcrazy]

A quasiparticle is not a particle. That’s why they call it a quasiparticle. If they find something that they called a quasiparticle, and sometimes it doesn’t have mass, that shouldn’t be too upsetting. Call it a semiquasiparticle.
