Fine line
Change of SubjectNot only do the electrons smash into each other, they have struck the physicists' funny bone. As it says (in the New York Times)... "It has led to a joke in physics circles now: The the Higgs boson (particle) has...... -
Neutrinos faster than the speed of light? Not so fast ...
World NowBack in September, a group of physicists working at the OPERA experiment at Italy’s Gran Sasso Laboratory astounded the scientific world by clocking neutrinos, a type of subatomic particle, that seemed to travel faster than the speed of light. It... -
Could you explain the Higgs boson for me again slowly, please?
When a beat reporters go to work, they know what they’ll be covering: courts, crime, city hall, etc. General assignment reporters like me know one thing: each day will be different than the last.

Quarks and quantum quirks
While reading a book on contemporary physics some time ago, I realized that attempting to comprehend it was like trying to floss the teeth of a flea.
Underwater.
While drunk.
With broken fingers.
And blindfolded.
I managed to finish the book, but the...Tags: Applied Physics, Science and Technology, Robert Frost, Poetry, Emily Dickinson
