Matter-Antimatter Split Hints at Physics Breakdown

[John Jorsett]

Personally, I’m pro-matter.

“The twist comes from odd behavior in a particle called the BS (pronounced “B-sub-S”), which flips back and forth between its matter and antimatter forms three trillions times per second.”

I suspect further research will help us understand the behaviors of politicians. They are controlled by a collection of BS particles.

[RightWhale]

This is exciting, definitely

The excitement is detectable, that is, above background.

[SIDENET]

"Fascinating article, Captain."

[LibFreeOrDie]

supersymmetry, a proposed standard model extension that gives each known particle a heavier doppelganger, or super-partner.

[Squantos]

Doesn’t matter......

Or, maybe every black hole in the universe is a trace of some advanced civilization that started playing with a loaded Hadron collider.

[steve86]

I’m going to put my money on supersymmetry rather than the single large particle. Well, an antimatter nickle, anyway.

[kbennkc]

If I new for sure the super collider would destroy the universe when they fire it up , I would go finance a new boat .

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Have you ever considered that something may be the “MATTER” with you? You used to be pretty “SOLID!” But now you are just emmitting “GAS”

[Hunton Peck]

"...a particle called the BS (pronounced "B-sub-S"), which flips back and forth between its matter and antimatter forms three trillions times per second."

Soon to be designated "the John Kerry particle".

[DarthVader]

Every black hole is a trace of every advanced civilzation that became totally liberal and perished.

Wonder woman is off her diet again.

[wastedyears]

LOL excellent

[savedbygrace]

Count the weapons. Take all the time you need.

[ElkGroveDan]

Captain we have a problem with the anti-matter containment field.

[GreenHornet]

Nature may have handed scientists a new clue in a longstanding mystery: how matter beat out antimatter for dominance of the universe.

Antimatter would have won if they had counted Florida and Michigan.

[Jagman]

Cleary, what we need to do is increase the Buck Rogers noises and put more science stuff around!
