Re: What Physicists Have Been Missing /BY SABINE HOSSENFELDER/
The lifetime of a Higgs particle is about 10^-22 seconds, or a tenth of trillionth of a billionth of a seconds." /page 177, by Frank Wilczek/ Higgs bosons are unstable particles and therefore cannot be fundamental particles. So far this is only certainly known to be true for the isolated parti...

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
I'll put my cards on the table right now; I don't have a strategy for peace. I have one but I doubt people would like it: The complete destruction of all life on earth. You'd make a great Islamist, then... :wink: They think that peace could be achieved by killing all opponents. But that's more &quo...

Re: I'm wrong about everything. Now what?
If you're wrong about everything, then open your eyes and find someone who looks like they aren't. Find out what they think and why. That's as good a place to start as anywhere

Re: the death of OJ...

Re: We need an admin to control VA
Look at what biggie has to do just to keep his moral relativism thread afloat. Things shouldn't be that bad. He doesn't have to do that. Nobody cares about what he writes in that thread.
