particle

And what an achievement - the first fundamental particle observed since the quarks in the 1980's!

Projects have been ruined when instruments do not work or do not work as well as designed because of dust, ESD, or a hair particle.

It doesn't actually match reality, but it does give some striking intuition about how particle physics works.

This solution has some benefits, especially since such a new particle might also solve the muon g-2 puzzle.

They say that professor Higgs is shy and not at all comfortable with the attention and almost as hard to find as his particle.

Just in time for the new Pope, they confirm the existence of the particle that gives Mass!Someone up there having a joke, obviously.

Came here hoping for a particle accelerator horror story.

But it is not easy to construct a theory of such a particle without violating other experiments.

The consequence is that altering the state of one particle would instantaneously cause the state of the other to become resolved.

>to spend billions of taxpayer dollars in search of a particle that likely does not exist would have been wastefulThis is infuriating.

The other possibility is that an action on one particle is, in fact, instantaneously causing an effect on the other particle.

Here we can read a grand tour of particle physics over 35 years and the only specific figure Wolfram manages to mention and give accolades to is Stephen Wolfram.

SimCity 5 tries to go all-in and simulate the hydrodynamics of each particle - but has to cut so many corners to run that it doesn't even look like smoke anymore.

Before modern particle accelerators, this was flatly impossible, and even today, it is very, very hard and expensive.

To go even further, we've since learned that entanglement can not only occur between particles separated in space, but also between particles separated in time.

In certain situations, you could end up with one wave function describing two physically separated particles in a mutual superposition of states.

One possibility is that the entangled particles contain extra information, inaccessible to normal observation, about their respective states and which way the superposition will resolve.

Reddit is a very obvious one, but the same holds to for trying to get press interest: so much depends upon the decisions of a few key journalists, and that decision may depend on how many other emails hit their inbox that hour, or whether or not they've had their coffee yet, or some other particle of background entropy.
