Don't know how many particle physics interested people there are that view this forum.

Can't wait until one of the particle physicists give an hour long lecture on this. Maybe on world science festival.

Thanks, teckk. I'll be waiting for Sean Carrol to speak on this discovery. It would be great if the newer, higher power of LHC began to shed some light on the imbalance of particles and anti-particles that paved the way for matter, including Us.

I find it fascinating. I wish I understood better how it all works. It's interesting how physicists can look at a collision and say ... "ah there it is. There's that pentaquark we've been looking for."

I too find it interesting. Back when I was in college (80s), there was an article in Scientific American about the Rubik Cube and it's relationship to quarks I found fascinating. Anyway, I still like to 'read' about them and sort of keep track of advances in this weird particle realm.

i love science stuff like particle physics even tho i dont understand most of it.
i just hope tech takes huges leaps forward and ill get a computer 100x more capable compared to what i have now
