Do Strangelets Pass Through Earth?

Posted by timothy on from the particles-of-truth dept.

Weirdolet writes: "Ananova are reporting that ultra-dense, pollen sized strangelets (aka nuggets of strange quarks) travelling at 900,000 miles per hour hit the earth, violently pass through it and have done on at least two occasions already. It's also reported, allegedly, in the Sunday telegraph but I haven't found it there yet :P Coming to a particle accelerator near you soon ... ?" Another reader has found the story at the Telegraph.

    what the hell are you talking about? Since your post doesn't make any sense (the part that isn't redundantly repeating the parent), I take it that you're a karmawhore out for some points.

    no shit, you moron, that's exactly what the parent said. Why do you feel the need to repeat it, and then follow on with some nonsensical bullshit?

    Did you moderators even bother to look at the link? It is off-topic regarding the danger under discussion.
