Starship Asterisk*

Why, the one I was looking at, of course!

:D More posts like yours! :D Sure wasn't my intent to put anybody down for any reason, just trying to answer the question that was asked, based on my own experiences here. Lest anyone think otherwise, I think the Asterisk is the cat's meow, love those APODs, and whether I said it clearly or not, my ...

Why would I assume a priori that all electrons aren't identical? If it's an elementary particle, then one might as well have to explain why there is no variation in the integer '1', also an elementary 'particle'.

Here's a thought: how many of you guys/gals aren't in the 99th percentile in intelligence? You want discussion - and jokes - that are at your level, and that's how the conversation tends to proceed. Fine, me too. Add to that the depth of your experience as scientists and all the unspoken meanings th...

:oops: 'scuse. me, I was speaking poetically, not rigorously... substitute 'component parts' for 'quarks'. To quote the Wikipedia article 'Electron', "[the electron] has no known components or substructure..." (emphasis mine). Also, let me respectfully point out that everything we think we...

Oh dear oh dear I think you're right Where did I leave that bedpan?

It seems that even under the most charitable interpretation what "travels back in time" here is information, not material particles. :) Pardon my too-sparing use of smilies! :) However, since 'information' means literally 'that which gives form to', consider one theoretical concept of a t...

Gaaahhh. I hate not understanding the color of things. Ann Me too... human color vision is limited and arbitrary; heck, we don't even know what it would look like to a cat, much less some space-dwelling, planet-devouring thang. We can't see ultraviolet or infrared (how do you 'infrare' something, a...

Wouldn't this make the theory that there's only one electron in the universe possible???

called "Where One Thing Ends".

Yeah, like I've got time left in my day for another forum... guess I'll have to give up peeing...
