Which is what?The STANDARD MODEL predicts that particles called "beauty quarks" should decay into either muons or electrons in equal measure. The new result shows that is not happening. Which may mean other unpreviously known forces may be at play.Physics is a viable science. Ever-changing. How big a change is this? I have no idea. But I thought it was kinda fascinating.

Also she had attended college in Boulder so she knew her way around.Visiting the tea factory was sensational. Meaning around any college town is wondrous and Boulder was no exception. We ended the day eating splendid CALZONES in a local hangout then drove to Denver where they lived.So the suspect is in custody. He used an AR style rifle (whatever the he** that is) to massacre ten invididuals in the KING SOOPERS grocery store. Another Colorado gun-related massacre. No big deal right? Wait long enough and everyone experiences it. Just like those who live long enough will experience ARTHRITIS.It's been too long since Colorado was in the news for having been victimized by a gun a rifle a shoehorn. less

Would we have been much better off without it?Shouldn't all inventors be aware of what they put out there will do can do might do? Just because you think it must you do it create it?If there were no planes travel would be slower. Wars would be fought on the ground. Would we have been better off without that invention?

Use your imagination, think outside the box, stretch the envelope of probabilities, don’t just fall on the “how would I know” or the “it’s impossible”. I do admit that it’s an extremely strange and difficult question to answer.This hypothetical scenario plays out in that of the two of your parents, one still remains as your biological parent, but the other one would have been someone else entirely. Basically, you would have the same mother and a different father than you actually have, or the same father and a different mother than you actually have. That someone else could be an actual person who interacted with your parent back then, could be an old flame, could be the next person who came along in his or her life, could be a famous person, could be a complete stranger to you, could be someone you dream up, the possibilities are truly endless. You are being asked to speculate as to who that person might have been. Nothing in this scenario s... less

Meh, as a species, we’ve learned a lot in the 20 to 21 years since that first hoopla, and we’ll continue to learn even more in the next 1078 years to come. There will be no “scare” as the year 3000 approaches. Yawnsville.B. Your tildes will still be just as worthless then as they are today, and your descendants will hate you for leaving them piles of useless junk. Start unloading them now to avoid the shame.C. In retrospect, the 1999/2000 ballyhoo will seem quaint and antiquated by standards of 2999. No one will be so silly as to assume there will be any problems.D. The mantra of the day will be: “We’re all going to die, we’re all going to die!” (Well, the people who will be alive at that time.) Mad panic in the streets.E. Advances in technologies will have by then surpassed human ability to control, contain, overcome, or understand it. The outlook will be even more grim than Y2K.

The act is not intentional, it is more careless and neglectful. He/she, not seeing that you are sitting in your car, just closes the car door, goes on as if nothing has happened, barely glancing at your car, and begins to walk away. For the purposes of this hypothetical scenario, even though you have not yet seen it, the force of the door making contact with your car has caused minor damage in that there’s a visible dent and the paint is chipped. You do not know the person, the two of you are complete strangers to each other. The person is still within one car length’s distance from you, at that point sees that you are in your car, makes eye contact with you for a split second, then immediately breaks the eye contact, turns his/her face away from you, and continues walking away.
At that very second, what do you think you might do?~ less

It is said that once upon time people did not lock their doors. They could take evening walks without fearing anyone/anything. They'd leave money in a cigar box for what they took at unattended fruit stands. Believe it or not.These days only dam* fools trust. Sigh.Sad.
