composite particle... yawn

• deepsun 9y ago
  Mmm, what do you exactly mean by composite? Most of well-known particles are composite of quarks (proton, neutron etc), so it's an exciting discovery indeed. It would be yawn if if it was a composite of another particles, like Cooper pairs.

    >"Most of well-known particles are composite of quarks" And that's why they're boring. At this point, bring me hints of supersymmetry or bring me pillows.

      At this point, bring me hints of supersymmetry or bring me pillows. What's the difference between sleeping forever and being dead? The history of science is rife with examples of people waiting for ages for evidence of their incorrect pet theories...

        > What's the difference between sleeping forever and being dead? That is not dead which can eternal lie. Charming particles may be sleep-inducing, but there's always a chance of a strange new one over the aeons.

      Good thing science isn't done for your entertainment. What's the point of your comments other than to imply that physicists somehow aren't doing a good enough job?

        My PhD was in a sister field to the one these researchers are in (we split when they built terrestrial particle accelerators, while we kept looking at the natural ones in the sky). This is tongue in cheek stuff. The way one might speak to a colleague to give them a 'hard time' about their research. No offense intended!
