SELEX at Fermilab Discovers New Particle

sellthesedownfalls writes "Scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will announce on Friday, June 18 the observation of an unexpected new member of a family of subatomic particles called 'heavy-light' mesons. The new meson, a combination of a strange quark and a charm antiquark, is the heaviest ever observed in this family, and it behaves in surprising ways -- it apparently breaks the rules on decaying into other particles. See the Fermilab Press Release."

Well scientists are so sure of themselves in every other respect (evolution, big bang, age of the universe using carbon-dating). Why should they doubt themselves now? *sarcasm*Just because NO ONE lived during the Beginning doesn't mean we are wrong about our guessing does it? Nah, of course not. *sarcasm*
