Science stuff below the fold

"a clue to explain existence"...well, not quite. It is merely a scientific clue why we have more matter than "evil" anti matter, based on recent experiments at FermiLab...

"...Physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are reporting that they have discovered a new clue that could help unravel one of the biggest mysteries of cosmology: why the universe is composed of matter and not its evil-twin opposite, antimatter..."



This video discusses the question they are discussing:


Yet, the NYTimes story called anti matter the something "evil".

Then we have this quote:"The new effect hinges on the behavior of particularly strange particles called neutral B-mesons, which are famous for not being able to make up their minds. "

Uh, fellahs, your choice of words implies that B Mesons have minds...

A lot of this reminds me of those who write about how evolution "chose" this or that...

Come on, fellahs, either say: Thank the Creator for arranging the B meson to turn into matter, or say thank the designer for orchestrating the "chances" that will evolve in a certain way.

(Or just quote Einstein: God does not play dice).

But don't use language that implies meaning and choice of some thing (as opposed to some one) who is behind it all.
