LIR: I was waiting for nubby to correct me and tell me that the Higgs-Boson is sub-atomic or something like that

Science, damnit!

I thought it *was* subatomic. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 07:45 3
- They're elementary, which means they're point-like and mos' def' subatomic. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 07:47 2
  - "....my dear Watson." -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 07:47
  - Did you just call her Watson? :) -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 07:47
No hyphen, the "b" isn't capitalized. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 07:42 16
- For some reason it's stuck in my head like Wolf-Biedermann -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 07:46 15

  - We just say "Higgs", anyway. - nubby Jul 9, 07:48 13

      - Probably. Not this year, but soon. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 07:56
    - Less talking! More work on finding out how to manipulate the Higgs field! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 07:51
    - ATM machine -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 07:48 9
      - Do you remember your PIN number? -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 07:50 8
        
        btw, calling something a "Higgs" is dumb. All you scientists should be ashamed. Photon is a wicked cool name - oblique Jul 9, 07:51 7
        
        Look, don't get me started on particle nomenclature. - nubby Jul 9, 07:57 6
        
        i just love this subject line. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:08 4
        
        (YDC) There's a particle called the J/psi, because the two labs that discovered it couldn't agree on whose name to use. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:11 3
        
        note to self - if i ever get to name a physics lab i need to name it with something starting with A in case this ever happens - Andie Jul 9, 08:20 2
