From the article;
That's right - we've either discovered a new particle, a new force, or the universe is fundamentally flawed. And we may be a few steps closer to understanding all the matter we haven't yet discovered, and have therefore labeled "dark."

If there's a fourth flavor of neutrino that doesn't interact through the weak force, then ALL RELIGIONS ARE WRONG.

This discovery is unto something as it would account for the whole damn Obama phenomena.

You have to define "symmetry of the universe". "Symmetry" implies "perfect symmetry" which implies for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. But that can only be to attempt to "maintain symmetry" so symmetry can never be.
Just some wild thoughts from my wild mind.

Boy, you can say what you want about “Geeks”, but they must be smoking some wierd stuff. And to think I started out as a Physics major in the late 50s. Things were so simple then.

I’m waiting for the article that says that all matter has a shelf life and we have reached it.

the particles constantly flip from one type to another in a phenomenon called "neutrino flavor oscillation." This would be better understood by the general populace if they referred to it as the "John F. Kerry oscillation".

So they they are saying either there is something they do not understand, or God does sloppy work.
I pick the former.

Will it someday be discovered that we never really existed?
What will we do on that day?

It must be time for the scientists to request more federal grant money. “We can’t allow this question to remain unresolved!”

It must be time for the scientists to request more federal grant money. We cant allow this question to remain unresolved! If they don't figure this out, the universe could collapse on itself in twenty billion years. This crisis calls out for a new stimulus program in 2011.

Please note they have “discovered” no such assymetry, nor have they discovered the “sterile neutrino” which they hypothesize might exist. This is a possible explanation, they know practically zip.

That’s quite a bit much to ponder, contemplate that we don’t really even exist. :-)
