- astrodust 9y agoI'm hoping it's some kind of temporal fuzzing where particles are going backwards in time and causing interference with both past and future events. No reason other than because that'd be awesome.
- imranq 9y agoYou mean like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%E2%80%93Feynman_absorber_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%E2%80%93Feynman_absorb...
- idlewords 9y agoThey just need to reverse polarity on the LHC!
- patejam 9y agoWould it even be possible to measure this?
- astrodust 9y agoExactly. It'd be so downright bizarre and difficult to pin down that we'd probably go nuts thinking we were all delusional to imagine such a thing could exist in the first place. Then when we have proof we'd be even more confused.
- mrmaximus 9y agoI'd settle for figuring out how to send an email to a previous point in time. I'd like to email myself in 2009. Something about buying a bunch of ASIC's and mining something for a long-term hold.
- stouset 9y agoNo need to mine it. Just buy in bulk at $1 and hold.
- ufmace 9y agoBitcoin market cap is still pretty small as far as global financial markets go. I'd have doubts at being able to extract serious amount of money from it. I'd bet you can find something much more conventional to invest in that'll produce big gains that can be extracted easily.
- astrodust 9y agoYou know in that timeline you'd spend a fortune on ASIC mining hardware and the market would tank because Murphy's Law could not possibly resist showing up and ruining the party.
- taneq 9y ago[X] other Some interesting patterns in the data which don't quite line up with accepted theory but aren't statistically conclusive.
- dukwon 9y agoWell, that's the story at the moment. The question is what will it turn out to be once the analyses are repeated with more data.
- biggerfisch 9y agoWhich event/study/? are you referring to here?

- dukwon 9y agoThere are several independent anomalous results in measurements of b-quark decays which all seem to point to a violation of lepton flavour universality. Specifically a reduced coupling to muons.

- raverbashing 9y agoNah, they're not missing, they just arrive earlier than expected (ah it seems some old prejudices are still alive ;) )
- time-of-flight 9y agoI'm using CAEN (Italian company) digitizers in nuclear research, and I've expended at least 6 months sussing out firmware problems for our simple experiments. [x++] italians
