I wonder, if I play this video during a walk in the nearby mountain in Japan, will the song be picked up by the local species? The scientists would have a new mystery on their hands lol!

Pretty tiny: 10−5 to 10−3 eV/c2 Though the utility of a big collider would be in diversifying the types of decays observed?

Today the axion is the new hypothetical fundamental particle that coincides with the status that had the Higgs boson two decades ago. It may very well be the next milestone.

I was surprised to see in recent years quite a lot of applications of neutrinos in imagery. E.g. in geology, to visualize the inside of monuments (e.g. pyramids) without opening them, etc.

I'm curious why you call the string theory a debacle. From what I followed, the debacle was rather with supersymmetry . And even though, the research in this domain stimulated the development of new mathematical tools. Finally, as wit

But the standard model is already broken by known experiment results... Now is a race to affine results (or find more new phenomena) and navigate through the possible new theories.

I understand your way of thinking, but if it had been meticulously followed throughout history, don't you think that almost no scientific research would have been made? Why should anyone spend time thinking when we have so much to do w

Suppose you find a way to use some grand-unification energy source thanks to some new high-energy physics discovery. Then that would mean way more energy available to manufacture tests, medical supplies, synthetic coton and masks, electrici

Actually, not having all aminoacids can lead to better aging. Vegan and vegetarian diet lack of methionine, and in animal models the carence in methionine boosted their lifespan.

How can you form adequate opinions if you know only one part of the truth? The part you know can be easily manipulated so that your opinion corresponds to the wishes of the government in control. This is why journalism is mainly about publi

UK was supposed to be such a place. At least UK's law was telling that. Also, smearing shit on the face of prime ministers, presidents, all the highest ranking politicians you can imagine, is just the game of free press in a democracy.

Yes, you're right. But the pressure to do so comes from the US all the same... You're right that what's happening in UK with Assange is very disturbing... I followed Craig Murray's blog posts.
