  1. Re:Could validate my theory on $950 Million Large Hadron Collider Upgrade 'Could Upend Particle Physics' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    But that's the beauty of particle physics: if the things are traveling fast enough, the pieces that fly off are actually BIGGER than the pieces that collided.

    Actually, it should have been in Illinois. The Fermilab Tevatron had all that infrastructure already in place, would have made an excellent feeder ring, and already HAD the best scientific minds on the planet. Unfortunately, Jim Wright (D, Texas) happened to be the Speaker of the House at the time, and he wanted that project for Texas, and, lo and behold: he got it. At least until (after he resigned in disgrace), Congress realized what a boondoggle building the SSC from scratch was, and canceled it.

    When your Netflix bill goes up because the national ISPs are extorting them, remember what I said.

    Nonsense. Did Faux News tell you that? The purpose of Net Neutrality is to prevent the Comcasts of the world from going to the Netflixes of the world and saying "That's a nice business you got there. It'd be a shame if Something Bad happened to it...".

    So, in other words, you haven't a clue as to what Net Neutrality is.

    WOW. If that's your take-away from that, maybe we should just drop an anvil on you to get your attention.

    And, of course, this has NOTHING to do with the new batch of Chinese trademarks that Ivanka got - on the same day he announced this.

  18. Didn't Einstein also say that ALL clocks ran at different rates based (at a minimum) on the speed they were traveling? And isn't "on the Earth" (or even "the orbit of the Earth") literally the same point in space-time compared to the size of the rest of the universe? I'm sorry, but the assumption that space-time is flat everywhere and everywhen based on this experiment is still a simplifying assumption and not some kind of bedrock fact.

  19. Physics: not just a good idea, it's the LAW!
