Hi!


Hi!
I wanted to write a post to "general", but the software denied to open my first thread there.

Ok.
Short intruduction on me:
I'm a 40y old male from germany that has no professionel link to hard- and software at all. I chose Linux ~30 months ago and will never ever go back to windows again.
Linux has encouraged me to dig deeper into how OSes, computers and software/programming in general work and it has and still is giving me exciting insights and perspectives.
Most of the time i am a passive user in the sense, that i consult the "Search" most of the times rather than asking or answering questions.

Here's the one i wanted to ask in "general", because i didn't find a satisfying answer in the web for:
A co-worker recently told me that at the LHC they discovered time travelling elementary particles. Can anyone confirm and possibly provide a good read?

Happy NYE!

This is the right place for introductions. Welcome to the forum. I'm glad you like Linux.

Unfortunately the time-travelling particle turned out to be a dud. There's a blog on it at http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/sh...higgs-sab.html .

Me too. It has become a hobby.

Interesting read, indeed.
As far as i recall, my co-worker did not refer to the Higgs particle.
I just can't asses his statements. Maybe his source (tv) was incredible or he got something wrong OR maybe is is true and time-travelling in quantum physics is a common phenomenon that just does not fit into human perception and imagination.
