And now for something quite interesting.

Let's hope they've got lots of coke - and no, I don't mean the white, powdery stuff... ;)

Well, that about wraps it up for Earth... As soon as they manage to calculate the mass of the Higgs Boson particle, their super-colliders will reach critical mass, causing an implosion that collapses the entire planet to the size of a pea. At least, that's what I learned from Lexx :)
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

:thumbsup: Some of the comments at the bottom make my head hurt. "Or... the Higgs doesn't exist and mass is a function of the vacuum interaction of matter particles, and the "footprint" of the Higgs is actually a shadow of the quantum vacuum. Wouldn't this also be consistent with the fact that non-matter particles have properties of mass yet are for all intents and purposes, massless? What other explanation could account for both phenomenon?"

Are you kidding? Sometimes they have Turing Cake[^] !

Small things nobody cares about. (That's what she said!) And in case that unintentionally sounded hostile... It's a joke... "non-matter"... As in they don't matter... Just shut up and laugh :)

Some say the collider may cause a black hole, but I am not conCERNed.

bosons. Fermions are matter particles because you can't have 2 of them at the same place and the same time.

I saw this as well, this morning. Interesting and boring, all at the same time.

Photons and neutrinos come to mind. Basically everything that isn't part of matter (like quarks and electrons) and in this case probably also not antimatter.
Neutrinos are matter.

Except they probably leave out "interesting". ;)

Apparently by some definitions they are. I didn't know that (I also though they were mass-less, but that seems to have been disproven). I also didn't realized there wasn't a consensus on the definition of matter. (I had always heard "has mass and occupies space", but apparently not everyone agrees on that one.) :thumbsup:

Are you joking or are you being serious with your reply?
