Quark Matter Blamed for Paired 1993 Seismic Events

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 "

First densematter post!

I don't think so.

As a mathematician I'm usually very spectical of everything physicists publish. Usually there is some problems with the firm mathematical fundamentals and their relation to incoherences with data and theory usually boils down to: "Hey we did another Laplace transform and it works all out now, really."
However, in the case of quark matter I'm more then just spectical. There is almost no experimental proofs for quantum field theory. And there is no reasonable argument for the choice of 11 dimensions (1 time, 10 space, 6 compactified). Any beginning graduate mathematician can easily proof that the whole theory works out in any 11k+23m dimensions, k a natural number, m a positive integer. There topology of such spaces is less known of course, but that's no reason to reject it a priori. And it's a well known fact in the mathematical community that in the 11*3+23*3 case supersymmetry can by explained much easier due to the fact that several cohomology groups of the Yang-Chibara manifolds are simple and the remaining ones freely generated.
Due to the very weak theory I would reject such explanations beforehand without even brothing to check the data. It's just a waste of time. The other well known phenomena of earth core oszillations are a much better explanation, with a sound and firm theoretical background. Just because it's a chaotic system and you have to do some bifurcation analysis it doesn't that it's not true.

Perhaps on the other hand the earth has shaken because someone put his foot down hard.

You didn't believe in yourself, so you didn't go for FIRST, instead, you went for THIRD.

and FAILED!
YOU FAIL TO GET THIRD! And worse yet, you failed to get FIRST by trying for THIRD!
AHAHAHAHAHA GRABOULOUS!

Re:Quark matter is in fact so heavy

[tutal]

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

well it does explain
