What is your favorite subatomic particle?

[The Stig]

I am just curious. What is you favorite subatomic particle? Simple question, I know.

I have to say I'm a fan of Neutrinos and Strange quarks.

[Marc Johnson]

quarks.

[Danger Bird]

I like electrons.

[Justin]

Mesons ftw

You're such a nerd Paul.






And that is why I am in love with your body.

ooooooooo

DMD your avatar blows now.

i'm just trying to put some balls back into rock, pansy

[The Stig]

These posts reek of a lack of talk about quantum mechanics.

We will also post about the quantum vacuum.

[Marc Johnson]

im completely indifferent to the band.

i just mean the general emotion of the avatar compared to the james joyce avatar.

[Danger Bird]

I agree with new method, bring back Patchy.

[The Stig]

I think it would be cool to be able to get this free energy, but the risks are high. Any comments?

[telemore]

i don't know, i just recently kind of understood (still kind of) string theory.

very interesting stuff it is.

[The Stig]

It is interesting stuff. I'll admit I don't understand most of it, but I still like to read about it.

[telemore]

my feelings exactly. i can remember watching NOVA on pbs when I was in school and just trying to comprehend the stuff. NOVA's not very much of anything, but still - it presented the ideas, and I used to love just laying in the grass at nite, looking at the stars and trying to make sense of it all.

Of course, I never did, but it was fun trying.

[The Stig]

I was trying to do some stargazing the other night, but there is too much light pollution in Athens. Something interesting I read:

"All of this [life, the universe, and, well, everything] is what happens when hydrogen atoms evolve." I forget who said it, but it's an interesting perspective.

[Mr. Ron]

Thats actually pretty interesting.

I live in an apt complex, so stargazing now is out of the question. I plan on moving away, in the country somewhere, renting a trailer or something when i finish my trailer. So I can start gazing, even buy a telescope.


That's an interesting quote, I will surely 'ponder' it much over the next few days.

[Chu]

Thats actually pretty interesting.
Yep, I have it bookmarked :)

[MegaPhony]

baryon ftw

[Muse_]

If I was an enzyme, I'd be a DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes.

EDIT: Silly.

[Mr. Ron]

If I was a subatomic particle, I'd be a DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes.

Puuurrrrrrr

[Chu]

I'm actually reading a book on Black holes at the moment :thumb:

It's not like a Stephen Hawking intense book, it's just a sort of introduction, it's pretty good (Although it was written in the 70's so it's fairly out of date, although much of it still applies).

[The Stig]

Those are enzymes, Caitria, not subatomic particles.

I think Chu actually knows more than all of the rest of us about this stuff.

[Muse_]

Aw fudgesicles. I just wanted to try out my new pickup line.

[The Stig]

But enzymes are amino acids, and amino acids are made of atoms.

[Chu]

Probably not, I just try and learn what I can.

/New Scientist subscriber :cool:

[Muse_]

Oops. I slipped up.
Forgive me. Its late.

[The Stig]

Were you thinking of cells?

[telemore]

hi caitria

[Muse_]

Quien?

[telemore]

<--- is telemore

[Muse_]

Ah. Name changes keep me on my toes.
How's it been?

[telemore]

it's been ok.

you?

[Kayetan]

I love this thread!

[telemore]

gold mine material

[The Stig]

It would be interesting if we could find a way to use gold for fission and/or fusion.

[telemore]

i'm not too familiar with the mechanics of either, care to lecture?

[bradc1988]

I like the charm quark because it's obviosuly cool.

Leptons are okay.

Oh and Bosons are cool too.

[The Stig]

Why was the subatomic particle depressed?





It was a down quark.

[telemore]

lol

[The Stig]

I made that one up on the spot. Not like that old joke about the atom missing electrons and being positive about it.

[telemore]

lmao, i haven't heard that one

[The Stig]

Oh..

Two atoms walk into a bar. One says to the other, "I think I lost an electron back there." Sacond one says, "How do you know?" First one says, "I'm positive."

[Permanent Solution]

I like the Higgs Boson, because we haven't observed it yet.

[Kayetan]

So, so carbonate went to the doctor. The doctor said,"Are you feeling alright?" And the carbonate said "negative."

[Muse_]

Downs quarks.

Because they're special.


get it?

[Permanent Solution]

You're special.

/double entendre ftw

sup :-*

[Muse_]

Vince :)

You're pretty special yourself.

how was your weekend?

[Muse_]

Ehh. I found out Saturday that I was supposed to be playing two orchestra concerts that weekend. So, I spent the past two night stumbling through new Christmas music.

It didn't get better.

You?

Oh what fun.

I spent Saturday cleaning up a highway with my honors society and then got drunk and fell asleep early. Had band practice today and otherwise did nothing. Band practice was the only real nice part of the weekend heh. I added some Post-Metal type stuff to some of our songs for kicks (we're like Pop Punk).

ps as if anyone actually cares about subatomic particles :-* paul

[The Stig]

It's okay. This thread has served its purpose.

[Muse_]

That sounds decent, despite the do-gooder Saturday. Hope they highway appreciated it.

And now, we spend Sunday night being productive by posting on MX.
Of course.

[The Stig]

It's Monday morning.

[Muse_]

It's Monday morning.

In ten minutes.

Suckah.

[The Stig]

Where do you live?

Cetnral time zone ftl.

Buh, the Saturday would have been better if it didn't start at 8 am and it wasn't 40- degrees outside :( But yeah, it hadn't been done in years so we got like 30 bags of trash over a 1 mile stretch. :-\ looks lots better though.

good thing school's all but done so i don't need to be productive.

Out already?
December is freakishly warm so far. Well, here anyway.

Haha, the irony is I live in AZ...and it was warmer north than it was here :(

Migrate north for the winter.
Have you seen "An Inconvenient Truth", the Al Gore documentary on Global Warming? Now that was scary. I've recycled ever since.
The apocalypse will be hot.

I am. Colorado bound in a few weeks :D

I haven't, but I am pretty evironmentally conscientious anyways. My mom raised us to be. She's huge into organics and all that sort of stuff.

I'll heat your apocalypse :nawty:

[perriwinkle]

neutrons!

i wanna see a neutron star one day. and then i want to smack it. and see what happens.

[Muse_]

Oh to be energy/environmentally aware. I need to work on my priorities.
Colorado? I hear the skiing is most excellent.

And you could make some pretty spectacular Global Warming pick up lines.
Examples:
"I'll melt your ice-shelf baby."
"I can make you as hot as an atmosphere choked by greenhouse gasses."
Or, the timeless classic.
"I want to see your glaciers disappear."

[Amit]

Pfft, as soon as you start paying your energy bills you'll learn to be energy aware lol.

The skiing is indeed excellent. That will be a lot of my break :D

You could, but my charm is so refined I don't need pickup lines to get girls (HAHA RIGHT?) :upset:

You ooze charisma. :)


I'm going to bed.

[Pop music sucks]

Do free radicals count?

They're awesome, especially the ones in the atmosphere.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

I say anti-pro-anti-anti-dark matter.

[Surgicalgod]

my favorite subatomic particle is the antineutrino!

[The Stig]

Or the antijewtrino. [/joke]

Antimatter particles are cool, but they're too dangerous for me. And I am pro dark matter.

[Ando!]

gravitons

hey these aren't even proven to exist you gay

[The Stig]

Well, neither are strange quarks. I'll say gravitons are appropriate.
