"While the input work of the system originates from a small force making cylinders moving short arc, and make magnets facing each other, the output...
Yes the definition applies regardless of mass. As for the decays of W's and Z's, the things they decay into do not indicate that the W's and Z's...
There IS a way to tell them apart. Fermions have spin 1/2, bosons have spin 1 (or 0). This is a measurable difference. Also, fermions ARE required...
There are rather are lot more than 100. It is similar to the number of experimental physicists, of which there several thousand in the ATLAS and CMS...
If you feel like a technical answer, it is because exponentiation is not distributive over addition:...
There is some debate about it still, but it is certainly possible that early man wiped out practically all of the megafauna that once roamed the...
Yes it is true I think that you can only do science if you really love it. But I think the big difference here are the career options. If you did a...
Hmm ok I must be wrong about the chirality itself producing some measurable effect, at least in this neutrino case. As for wikipedia, well I think it...
I don't think mathman cares if it is sensible, just whether it is logically allowed by the structure of the Standard Model. The important thing is...
Oh, well yes certainly Newton was a powerful influence in the emergence of the modern scientific way of thinking. I like this quote I just found on...
When has the government ever not been in control of this? Or do you mean that universities used to have more control rather than federal funding...
Not sure what you mean by the Darwin reference, but yes there is certainly a good reason for Newton's stupendous fame. I think it is not too...
I'd like to support the sentiment, but its pretty risky. That doesn't happen without dedicating your life to the cause, and mostly it doesn't happen...
Kepler might have kicked himself, but I don't think it is surprising that he didn't think of it before Newton's laws existed, and the calculus that...
Well without Newton's framework for describing forces and how they work it would have been shockingly prescient of him to imagine an invisible force...
Well, I am in the last year of my (physics) PhD, and yeah I have to agree that these parts of science suck total balls. I am very grateful for the...
Electrons and neutrinos are a bit special, since the left-handed part of the electron sits in an SU(2) doublet along with the corresponding...
This is more a comment on the current state of science, not a fundamental limitation in the scientific method. After all, there is no such thing as...
I haven't read much of this thread, but given the topic you guys might enjoy John Baez's latest blog post, it's pretty fun:...
Hmm, well from my quick googling, the kanji 仁 from Akihito (明仁) and Hirohito (裕仁) means perfect virtue benevolence charity affection love...
