What idiot got to name this particle??? I was expecting a name a bit less... dumb. It should at least be named after someone's dog or something; not just two arbitrary letters randomly picked form the alphabet.
I suggest it be renamed the "code-red" particle (as i am drinking that now); the "twinkie" particle; or perhaps even the "Jugs, the magazine for men" particle...
You seem to be saying that because the article didn't discuss the fourth dimension, the rest of the article is invalid. That is extremely unfair. The very fact that this piece of writing is presenting a new theory of space/time, or even just a new way of viewing the universe(s), should clearly show that any prior preconceptions one may have are irrelavent in the context of the article.
I assume that the fourth dimension you are so insistent upon seeing is the so-called "dimension" of time. As I take it, the article did seem to imply several dimensions past that of length, breadth, and height. In fact, it seemed the very basis of it was to introduce an entirely new fourth dimension, seeing as one would have to specify which universe one is in.
dark star is a film by john carpenter and dan o'baddon (its kind-of low-buget... heh) about a "spaced-out space-ship"... but somehow it is undisputedly the best movie ever made

Or does it mean you're masturbating?

By the way, who said scientists are our leaders?
For some reason this is the best movie ever made.
"Listen carefully, i'm using a scrambler."
"I can't understand you... are you using a scrambler...?"
