Experiment finds puzzling new particle
"Scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will announce on Friday, June 18 the observation of an unexpected new member of a family of subatomic particles called 'heavy-light' mesons. The new meson, a combination of a strange quark and a charm antiquark, is the heaviest ever observed in this family, and it behaves in surprising ways -- it apparently breaks the rules on decaying into other particles."
I love it when physics doesn't play by the rules.
Long-Destroyed Fifth Planet May Have Caused Lunar Cataclysm, Researchers Say
"Our solar system may have had a fifth terrestrial planet, one that was swallowed up by the Sun. But before it was destroyed, the now missing-in-action world made a mess of things."
And we're supposed to accept that the astronomers in this article have never heard of Tom Van Flandern's Exploded Planet Hypothesis?
(Thanks to the ever-vigilant Bill Dash for the heads-up.)
