This discovery, along with the established fact that the neutrino has mass ... a brave new world.
Imagine all those tensors getting tweaked!

So...The neutron is, essentially, an Oreo. Interesting.

I always had a sneaking suspicion about those sneaky little neutrons.

Boo-yah! Take that, physics! Another nail in the coffin of the religious dogma of Newtonism!

I hope we have some fun with this. The various particles have all sorts of whimsically-named properties: color, strangeness, spin... now maybe we can add creamy goodness to the list...

now maybe we can add creamy goodness to the list...Sandra Bullock is a neutron?

Neutron jokes are da bomb...

How can that be? The science was settled. There was consensus.

Yes, ... but to remain curious is to discover.
And this "revisionism" occurs everywhere ... imagine, the SS LUSTANTIA was indeed carrying contraband. Go figure??

Hmm. Positive on the inside, negative on the outside.
Does this mean it hopes for the best, but plans for the worst?

Yes, but now we must determine if its a regular Oreo, or one with Double Stuff...........

My favorite particle is the Mesan, noted for it’s “stickiness”, especially at elevated temperatures. When it reaches equilibrium, and is at the same level of energy as other particles in the general vicinity, it is known as the Par-Mesan..............

Gerald A. Miller, a UW physics professor, has found that the neutron has a negative charge both in its inner core and its outer edge, with a positive charge sandwiched in between to make the particle electrically neutral. Perhaps this is related to the understanding of the neutron as being composed of three quarks, one up quark with charge +2/3 and two down quarks, each with charge -1/3.

I suspect that you actually mean “the religion like dogma of Newtonian physics?”

Well said. And how would someone who challenged the prior neutron properties vision have been viewed about two weeks before these new findings were made? I suggest that he or she would have been treated much like global warming skeptics and evolution skeptics are today. Perhaps all of us should be prepared for the possibility that our assumptions may not be entirely correct, and may be completely wrong.

Well written.
There can be no real assumptions in scientific methodology, just postulates.
