Matter, Anti-Matter, and a New Subatomic Particle?
sciencehabit writes "Physicists may have finally figured out why the universe contains more matter than antimatter. The key lies in a flaw in the relationship between the two and a potentially new subatomic particle. 'Other researchers, however, say the results, published today in Nature, should be interpreted cautiously. It could all be an effect produced by run-of-the-mill particles'."
Yeah. Where are the particles we can actually use and relate to, like Bogons, Cluons, and Unobtaneons.
well he's a programmer after all. the big bang was the beginning of the alpha, blackholes are memory leaks, spatial expansion is feature bloat and the disparity between matter and antimatter resulted because of a calculation error in Excel.
Sigs are too short to say anything truly profound so read the above post instead.
Would that be, um, flour? The universe is held together by flour?
(Thought I should attempt to reflect the Luddite perspective. Everybody else commenting on this post is being far too intelligent and rational.)
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
If (theory != sense)
then create.newParticle();
Else
publish.newTheory();
Because we look back at Einstein and wonder how he could be so stupid to think quantum mechanics was wrong..
According to Sturgeon's Law we just need to find the crap particle and got 90% solved.
