Follow Up On Solar Neutrinos and Radioactive Decay

An anonymous reader writes "A few days ago, Slashdot carried a story that was making the rounds: a team of physicists claimed to have detected a strange variation in radioactive decay rates, which they attributed to the mysterious influence of solar neutrinos. The findings attracted immediate attention because they seemed to upend two tenets of physics: that radioactive decay is constant, and that neutrinos very, very rarely interact with matter (trillions of the particles are zinging through your body right now). So Discover Magazine's news blog 80beats followed up on the initial burst of news and interviewed several physicists who work on neutrinos. They are decidedly skeptical."

I would rather have lame then not trying.

Also, I would rather have lame then AC.

I would rather have lame than Dane Cook. I'd take the dumbest AC here making the lamest joke imaginable over Dane Cook. Unless it was Dane Cook being sodomized by a rhinoceros. That I'd watch.
