FTR, OP here. I didn’t change the title. Perhaps HN will comment. In my experience their reasoning is typically solid.
When I posted, I believe it was “LHC machine finds tantalising hints of new physics”. I remember that seemed oddly redundant, like an “ATM machine”. Current title for the article is showing as “Machine finds tantalising hints of new physics”, but a search is also coming up “LHC machine challenges leading theory of physics”.
- dukwon 6y agoI guess the logic of the headline was that LHCb is one of the "machines" at the LHC. Unfortunately in LHC jargon, "the machine" is the collider itself rather than the detectors.
- dang 6y agoA mod changed it, I assume on the grounds that the article title was baity. That's in keeping with the site guidelines: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
