Fermilab Discovers Untheorized Particle
alevy writes to mention that scientists at Fermilab have detected a new, completely untheorized particle. Seems like Fermi has been a hotbed of activity lately with the discovery of a new single top quark and narrowing the gap twice on the Higgs Boson particle. "The Y(4140) particle is the newest member of a family of particles of similar unusual characteristics observed in the last several years by experimenters at Fermilab's Tevatron as well as at KEK and the SLAC lab, which operates at Stanford through a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy. 'We congratulate CDF on the first evidence for a new unexpected Y state that decays to J/psi and phi,' said Japanese physicist Masanori Yamauchi, a KEK spokesperson. 'This state may be related to the Y(3940) state discovered by Belle and might be another example of an exotic hadron containing charm quarks. We will try to confirm this state in our own Belle data.'"
That particle is helping terrorists! Put it on Australia's and Denmark's Censored Particles List! Anyone who links to that particle must be punished!

At least we Atheists can also just laugh at a joke making fun of us instead of screaming how evil you Christians/Jews/etc are.
A good education is a bit like a STD - it makes you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and gives you a desire to spread it.
Sheesh, sometimes you athiests are worse than the "Christian" "fundamentalists".
Yeah those Christian fundies, they're so evil, always posting things on Slashdot that I disagree with. The horror!
We should be glad that religious fundies never do anything worse than that. Oh wait.
