Many of these entities do have a short half-life...
I’m wondering when they’ll detect the Higgins boson — wouldn’t that be loverly!
oh yes the Higgins...they say e’liesa broad way up ahead...given the tight budget though it’s hard to know whether to do more or doolittle...of course there are a good many theories already, some sketchy’uns and some very firmy’uns too....
No, it’s not indivisible. In fact they found it by capturing evidence of particles it spawned while disintegrating.
I believe such particles are prevalent in pygmal ions....
Oh all these wonderful theories!
I think I’ll pour myself a nice hot cup of Lepton and try to think them through.
You know, I hadron of my own one time but forgot to write it down....
Fools! How are you guys going to deal with lady Terminators without one?
...pygmal ions...
...oh man that prompted from me a spontaneous breaking out and, like London Bridge, falling down in laughter...
Everytime I read this sort of stuff, I am reminded of Medieval clerics debating home many angels can fit on the head of pin.
Very nice!
(I really love quarky humour ;)
She think I smart.
Is this the particle that if it blows creates everything else?
Well I’d much rather public money went towards expanding our knowledge of the universe than down the rat hole of welfare. Better would be private dollars spent on these accelerators.
The boson was almost extinct at one point, wasn’t it?
If this is the “God Particle,” I think there will be an executive order soon to change the name to the “Obama particle”. Of course, depending on its mass, it might be the “Michelle Particle.” We’ll need some more funding to study that.
A unified field theory. Maybe the control of gravity. Ships that can float up into space instead of having to be sent on enormous expensive and dangerous rockets. Maybe new ways of generation clean energy. This is just another piece of the puzzle gaining us a clearer picture of the way the universe works. It also helps us to know what questions to look into next.
I was hoping for that kind of response. THX
What’s not to love. They don’t bother anyone. They usually keep to themselves.
these are not really particles per se....it's just that it's easier to think in those terms. they have energy, they vibrate and are influenced by gravity. we call them particles.
I was reading Richard Feynman, who has to be my all-time favorite physicist-,was trying—unsucessfully— to explain just that to his very bright father, with regard to other sub-atomic particles. So help me to betsy, but they are more “spirits” with ectoplasm, than the “billard ball” atoms of the 19th century. Having to think in terms of probabilities than the certainies that newtonian physics once promised.
Actually no. From such knowledge comes the ability to build new things.
