Natural Science Forum / Physics / Particle Physics / November 2004

Since these are the three most active s.p. newsgroups, and also the
forum for the highest concentration of misguided souls, I propose that
we start a series of threads on fundamentals. It should be aimed at
the "tripping points", the places where it's easy to get confused or

The Conflict Between Quantum Theory and General Relativity
    Over the years the existence of a conflict between Quantum Theory and
General Relativity has been repeatedly mentioned in publications. Quantum
Theory deals very well with the very small. It has proven to be ...

Imagine we have a grid of 2x2 of puntual sources. Is there any
particle or family of particles that once generated (by whatever
means) would be emitted in *all* directions preserving the topology of
the grid?

Dear Friends and Colleagues!
I have to wow for the help from all Democratic forces worldwide!
Right now our criminal Government, is trying to announce V. Yanukovich,
who served twice a sentence as a new President of Ukraine!!!

Relativity and Reasonableness Tests
    Many postings to Newsgroups are from posters who have difficulty with the
assertions of relativists that when tow velocities are added the resultant
velocity is not the algebraic sum oof the two velocities. The conclusion is

When one creates a positively charged body one also has to create a
correspondingly negatively charged body. When measuring the force of attraction
between the two bodies so created one finds that it varies as an inverse square
law, so far so good.

Hello dear community,
I'm very interested to visit the CERN in Geneva, to learn more about
the present science and to see the world's largest particle
accelerator.

Dear Friends!
I have obtained the final, bullet-proof derivation
of Quarks' Confinement in QCD. This is potentially
a Million Dollars $ venture, as proposed by Clay Institute!

The Brilliance of Our Teachers
     A recent newspaper question and answer column raised an interesting
subject. The query noted that, for a science course at a local school, there
were two instructors. One of those instructors explained the concepts clearly

Hello,
I have one question along with some justification:-
How energy as "potential energy" is stored in sub-atomics, atomic,

I'm writing this just to set a line in the sand for both alternate-theory
posters and to those who respond to those posters. All too often,
pyrotechnic rhetoric gets in the way of a very simple evaluation.
1. A good theory has to refer to well-defined terms and concepts. It does no

I attended a lecture here where a researcher gave a talk on the
pentaquark.  He said that in 1997, the pentaquark was theorized, and
then they went around trying to get experimenters interested in
looking to see for its possible existence.  And, eventually, some

Their energy gets put into massless antimatter particles (the missing
antimatter of the universe has been split into tiny pieces and their
rest mass has been transferred to matter.The pieces do not annihilate
