  1. Re:I believe in Darwin on Researchers Accidentally Discover How To Turn Off Skin Aging Gene · · Score: 0

    There is every advantage to over 60 year olds having a perfect skin. In my case it would be to catch more 'chicks' of my age...or younger. Reproducing is not on my mind - just getting more of what's good for you will do me fine!

    The best response that I've heard to people saying that they have nothing to hide: Just tell them to give you all their passwords, to their Mail Account, Facebook, Dropbox, etc. If they argue that they do not trust YOU, tell them to send it in an envelope to the FBI, NSA, etc.

    Why should I send it to FBI, NSA etc, from what you say they already have it!

    We now have the equivalent of a horse for a senator, how long will this go on before someone grabs his balls and does what needs to be done to fix this nonsense?

  6. Re:Something I Don't Know on The Sweet Mystery of Science · · Score: 0

    As a physicist, I would like to read a book on why people outside the field consistently refer to large things as quantum. It means 'the smallest discrete amount possible,' not large, composite chunks.

    It's because other fields outside physics had use of the word previously. In financial circles it was used in place of the word " amount", see the Oxford dictionary. Also in Latin means "how much", but doesn't specify. Eventually became accepted as "A measurable amount" with no limit as to amount, or reference to how long or far the leap in a quantum leap.

    True, but there's still no explanation for why particles have the particular mass that they do.

    The simple answer is that particles are particular and have the mass they have because they can. It's the way these things are.
