UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread NASA lowers impact risk of 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 to 1 in 67 (phew!).That is also changing. It went up to about 1% and then back down to about 0.8% from the articles I have been reading. At one point, I...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.Helio, I think what is happening is that we have developed a mathematical model (Relativity Theory) that does a good job of making...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.How theorists think about "particles" is also part of the issue. We can all agree that when we try to measure subatomic "things", we...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.I can read that thought process, but I don't agree with it. As I said, the concept of "fundamental particle" has devolved into "we...

UUnclear Engineer reacted to Galumph's post in the thread Large Hadron Collider finds 1st evidence of the heaviest antimatter particle yet with
Like.
I came to the comments to say something similar. The Big Bang model is good, and probably the best explanation for the evidence we have... -

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds.I am still wondering how a quark can be a "fundamental" particle when the combination of 2 down quarks and 1 up quark (a neutron) can...

UUnclear Engineer replied to the thread It's extremely worrisome.' NASA's James Webb Space Telescope faces potential 20% budget cut just 4 years after launch.Well, that opinion is completely illogical. Doing it wrong and making things worse isn't justified because others did not do it...
