The Creamy Center of the Atom

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-is-it-nougat dept.

There's a funny article on SatireWire with a light hearted view of the joys at the center of the atom. Better then a Crackerjack box.

  1. Linking to the site and the story by jdavidb · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Something's starting to annoy me. When you submit an article and link to a page on another site, you don't have to put the name of the site in a hyperlink. Nearly every person here knows how to get to the main page for the site if they want to, and usually the main page isn't directly relevant to the story.

    Sometimes it seems like people link for every word in the article and it's hard to figure out which link is the one with the story.

  2. That's all quantum physics.... by ilyag · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's quite simple, in fact. The outside of the atom is made out of particles. To make it cheaper, they started to manufacture the inside out of air^H^H^Hwaves. Eighty years ago, they were paid to create a theory about why it's as good, so atoms reamined just as expensive.

    Good thing they didn't have DMCA back then. In that case, it would be much easier for them to just prohibit any study of atoms, as a protection against reverse engineering. Or, atoms would be encrypted well enough no one could really find out what's inside.
