Thank God there are still scientists out there doing actual science instead of religion disguised as same.

stunning news. By golly, the Swiss have done it.

Quasi-Particles?.......Par Mesans?...........

Back when we were having colder winters no one ever observed this going on. It’s just one more effect of man-made global climate change.

Where did the charge go? When the electron splits up who does it stay with? Does the other quasi-particle get to visit in on weekends?

Quasi-Particles.

AKA Republican gonads.

Very interesting! I think the bottom line is that EVERYTHING is information. Matter, energy... we are what we are because the information describing us is written in the fabric of the Universe, the Mind of God, if you will.

This is interesting - it may indicate that there is an inherent attraction between the quasi particles that is being counteracted by the added energy of xray manipulation. Then when the electron moves to the higher energy state it becomes unstable enough to seperate as there is enough energy to counteract the attractive force. When the energy is removed/released it allows the electron to ‘coalesce’ back into a combined particle within the lower enegry state.

How is it that the additional energy is repulsive instead of attractive or neutral? Is this related to the weak nuclear force in same manner? And as someone else mentioned - what happens to the charge.

So is it the spinon or obitron which causes the magic smoke to be released when an IC is sent to its final demise?

[blueunicorn6]

Spinon and Orbitron? Big deal. I rode those at Six Flags when I was twelve.

Bump for later reading.
