Of particular interest, CMS and ATLAS both report excesses in events with two photons at a mass of 760 and 750 GeV, respectively. ATLAS public plots here: https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/CONFNOT

Well, he was also 72 years old. I'll be happy if I can even swim at all if/when I'm that age!

I am interested in your question as well, so I did some digging! According to wikipedia's article on Saturn's rings [1], the "main rings" are composed mostly of particles ranging from ~1cm to 10m in size. Apparently obse

Can I do anything with this that I can't already do from the website, or is it just the same tools with a nicer native UI? In other words, is this somehow bridging the gap between the site and the git CLI (which could be useful for som

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but why is it called a _filter_? To me it just seems like a (very clever) linear projection.

So this appears to be at least partially a plug for the authors "Blot're" service, which I wouldn't hold against him (he can blog about whatever he wants!). But I clicked through to blot.re and can't for the life of

Right! To put this in other words, we already had Mesons and Baryons (two- and three-quark bound states), and now we have Pentaquarks (admittedly less creative name). It's very exciting and hopefully we can learn more about QCD by obse

Wow, this actually looks really neat. I have been playing around with it for a few minutes and it seems _much_ more usable than I was expecting from an "experiment". It would be nice to see some comments from the author(s) on the

If I understood parent's comment (or maybe I just interpreted to agree with my own point of view), the implication is that some people are punting on even getting started w/ Docker, because things are moving too quickly. You may n

They do model backgrounds; the 5-sigma significance is a claim about the odds that background phenomena could have randomly caused this observation. However, their main backgrounds are not from the sources you mention. OPERA knows exactly w

Regarding the Higgs mass, there are two basic camps in particle physics. Some believe the Higgs mass is just a constant of nature (just like the electron mass, or the speed of light), and there's nothing "surprising" about it

Actually from the posted article, it sounds like they've been phasing out the translation-as-a-service part of their business for over a year now. Their reasoning is that "eventually businesses tend to pay more attention to the pa

I don't drink these sorts of cocktails, so maybe I'm missing something important. But if everyone wants cold drinks with no dilution, why the heck don't they just refrigerate the ingredients beforehand?

Can you go into more detail about the raindrop "simulation" on the window? I love the idea, but it seems like they larger drops are just moving random distances at random times, clearing a path as they go. That's a nice first

The title is a bit misleading. The particle doesn't break any "speed limits", in the sense that there is nothing fundamental preventing particles from traveling faster (or more precisely, having more energy). The GZK cutoff s
