Quark Matter Blamed for Paired 1993 Seismic Events

Posted by chrisd on from the freaky-deaky dept.

Ethanon writes "In an article posted by BBC, scientists have suggested that two "unassociated" seismic events that occurred in 1993 were actually strange Quark matter passing through the Earth at a speed of perhaps 250 miles per second. A spec of strange Quark matter the size of a human cell is said to be so dense that it could weigh a tonne! Check it out "

    sorry, that is impossible. weight is weight. maybe use a mass or volume / weight relationship and that might work. just a physics nerd who can't stand those kind of analogies

  2. well it does explain by Tablizer · · Score: 0, Troll
