That's not what I said at all. I only said it made sense to suspect that a quake in Japan, for instance, would also have the effect of changing Earth's axis/rotation, and that that action would interfere with this Chile effect. Push, pull, push, pull.
That's not the problem; the problem is the use of conclusive statements in TFS & TF headline. I thought we were scientifically educated people around here.
Remember, this is only what a model predicts, unlike what the headline suggests. And anyway, I think even if the quake had effects on day length and/or axis, another quake somewhere else on Earth sets it back a little. It averages out to what we witness. Earth is a dynamic place.
Naming, yes. The summary is badly informed! The synthesis of element 112 has been confirmed for quite a while. The only story here is that IUPAC has officially endorsed a name for it.
Not all burrs left by a punch press need to be removed by hand. Small pieces may be burnished, rotoblasted, or vibratory finished. Still takes time, I guess.
They might be scared of revealing more of their procedure after the recent PDF blunder. This incident affords them an opportunity to revamp their policies in ways we won't suspect.
I'm curious about this point because under a previous LHC article, someone commented that "11 trillion electron volts sounds impressive, but when I flick something with my finger, far more energy is transferred." (paraphrase, obviously)
Could someone more versed in physics tell a layman how this scales up?

Chuck Norris, too, weeps in despair.

Parent has a point; why is GP being modded up?
You will never convince me that there's anything approaching humour in a Garfield comic.

Because GP is one of the types that does not understand binary, of course...

In the USA airplanes flights are almost waterproof
Huh?
Since planes fly above the clouds, duh.
You silly goose; being part of an ionic compound doesn't destroy the element. GP's statement includes lithium compounds.

Do they leave in the evil bit? I'm not sure whether or not the BBC counts as an evil corporation.
The point is that a live cat is put into the box...
Why did this story get tagged 'hatemail'?
I want to believe...
You're complaining? /. forces a preview on you these days. You should have caught it.

You don't not unrealize not no one isn't not unBritish here, incorrect?
Perhaps not soul, but maybe some individual optical and brain cells survive for some time after their host has died.
and the blackjack. D'oh.
