Neutrons escaping to a parallel world?

Parallel universes have not been proved to exist or not exist, so they are still a possibility, even if they sound crazy.
Every religious person who believes in a higher being falls under this category, whether they like to believe so or not. The only difference between science and religion in this regard is that we take it as "fact" what the wise men say because they are "learned", whereas we take it as bullshit what the religious say because they are "ignorant". Science is ever changing, I agree. Unfortunately, religion is about the end game and that cannot be proven, IMHO, when it is infinitely far away. Religion will always be more about the why, whereas science is more about the how. I do not see them as opposites.
There are a couple of possibilities: 1: The religious person perceives evidence of god - evidence that you do not perceive, thereby exposing a deficiency on your part. 2: The religious person perceives evidence which doesn't exist, thereby exposing a deficiency on his/her part. In short, you cannot be sure if you merely lack the ability to perceive a god or if others are delusional. I don't fault you for responding to the evidence that brings you to atheism but you aren't capable of knowing what others are experiencing and what evidence they have available to them. Your arrogant declarations about science vs. religion are hot air.

PhysOrg:
the loss rate of very slow free neutrons appeared to depend on the direction and strength of the magnetic field applied. This anomaly could not be explained by known physics. Berezhiani believes it could be interpreted in the light of a hypothetical parallel world consisting of mirror particles.

I agree, there is a "if we can't currently explain it, parallel worlds are likely the cause" response that is annoying to see. I think your theology comment pissed off a few though.

If you were talking about Keanu Reeves the actor, I would think you were discussing neurons escaping to a parallel world...

it's a hypothesis, not unquestioned dogma. two guys in Italy wrote a paper. it's not a Papal dictate.

I didn't care to continue the debate. I nearly pulled out my 'A' material which is so convincing that you would have lost your free will. ;P

when you have to resort to "but really, what is knowledge" to support a position, that position is on very shaky ground.
