Evidence of strange quark matter striking Earth?
sifi writes "A group of researchers have identified two seismic events that they think provide the first evidence of a previously undetected form of matter passing through the Earth. The BBC has the full story [bbc.co.uk].
The so-called strange quark matter is so dense that a piece the size of a human cell would weigh a tonne.
I kind of like the idea that the whole Earth can be used as a sort of 'particle detector' - I just hope that I'm not in the way when another one passes through!"
Let's try posting "Strange Matter of Quarkocity gives striking evidence on Earth" (I bet it'll get in again).

Wow. It's not like I didn't read this story the first *two* times that slashdot posted it. I think I'll go for THREE. This was posted a week ago? Ugh. Please be a little more careful with the news postings.
Hmm, oh yeah, I know why it seems familiar!

Maybe Slashdot 'editors' should be required to use the Slashdot search before submitting articles?

What is this one? "Tripe"?

What kind of human cell would that be, exactly? A large one or a small one? (Well I guess even large human cells are pretty small, right?)

Why tell a story once if you can tell it twice and still get lame response?
Two dupes within a half hour of each other. Your last excuse was you hadn't had your coffee. I suggest you move to something a bit stronger ;-)

It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...
Not for very much longer.
I've got to keep control.
I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling...
Let's do the time-warp again.
Occam's Razor requires that all simpler possible explanations be eliminated first.
Nope, quite the reverse. The principle states that one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.
Take a look here or here or do a search on Google.

Wow. It's not like I didn't read this post the first time someone posted it. Maybe someonw will go for THREE.

A group of researchers have identified three postings that they think provide the first evidence of a previously undetected form of morning fog passing through slashdot. Slashdot has the full story. The so-called strange quark fog can only be detected indirectly, when it causes duplicate duplicate postings on popular web sites. I kind of like the idea that slashdot can be used as a sort of 'particle detector' - I just hope that I'm not in the way when another one passes through!

More clearly what he said was:
He's offering that his explanation is simpler and has not been eliminated as possible, so therefor by Occams must be correct.

Information wants to be in triplicate.
There is strength in crowds.
Third time lucky?
