That's almost inconceivable at the energy scales typical of the particle interactions in our bodies."Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who was also on the show, replied, "If I understand what you just declared, you just asserted that CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research, disproved the existence of ghosts.""Yes," said Cox.It's become glaringly obvious that the Standard Model of Physics is an incomplete theory, with several gaping holes that physicists have been trying to patch up for decades, but Cox says the existence of... less

He didn't own golf resorts worldwide. Think of all the taxpayer money you get to spend for Trump et al just for golf alone? Boy oh boy. Let the KVETCHING begin here and now and don't let up until Trump et al are only memories of what used to be. Okey dokey? less
