Neutrons escaping to a parallel world?

Because science has shown it to be logical and thus far holds true. We could all claim that the spaghetti monster was summining a new batch thus causing the effect, but there is no logical reasoning for that. Its not used to explain the unknown. It is used to understand a possbile reason. Scientists can then work from that theory to further prove or disprove the original hypothesis. This is then when the key difference occurs. Scientists will adjust their theory accordingly where as using faith people tend to adjust the meaning of the findings.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

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.

In short, you cannot be sure if you merely lack the ability to perceive a god or if others are delusional
when you have to resort to "but really, what is knowledge" to support a position, that position is on very shaky ground.
Some atheists are comfortable viewing all theists as delusional. Some theists are comfortable viewing all atheists as obstinate. I'd rather give people the benefit of the doubt and assume that a person is responding to reality as they experience it until proven otherwise. Given that in most instances that approach costs me absolutely nothing - to be gracious - it's hardly a problem.

I've seen a couple interviews with him. I was left with the impression he's dumber than a box of hammers.

What have you got against hammers?
Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy Please stand in front of my pistol, smile and wait for the flash - JSOP 2012

You're a wise man :) I like to be like Perry Mason once in awhile and work on a case... usually beer.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Nothing at all. I like hammers. I know a couple personally, including a rather nice sledge. A 'box of hammers', however, is a rather silly idea, unless you are a manufacturer of hammers shipping them to your stores for sales.
