New Exotic Particle Could Help Explain What Holds Matter Together
Live Science ^ | October 14, 2014 | Kelly Dickerson

A new exotic particle has been hiding out amidst the gobs of data collected by the world's largest atom smasher, physicists have discovered.

The new particle, called Ds3*, is a meson — a type of unstable particle made of one quark and one antiquark. Quarks are subatomic particles and are the most basic building blocks of matter that make up protons and neutrons. They're held together by the strong interaction, or strong force, that is one of the four fundamental forces in nature. (Electromagnetism, weak interaction and gravity are the other three.) No stable form of matter would exist without the strong interaction holding it together

I have some Gorilla Glue, but haven’t tried it yet. It will be used in s critical spot on a guitar restoration. Is it no good?

I get my nice Duck Tape here;

Wouldn’t use it on ducts though! I like the aluminum foil stuff for duct work. I don’t know if it performs better, but it sure looks better, much more professional. Looks like Stainless Steel.

The new particle is Ds3, a meson….

A MeSon, a term favored by 99.9% of the politically correct physicists over the racially charged term first coined by its racist discoverer, MeBoy.

Deserves repeating...

Christ holds all things together.

“For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:16-17

Isn’t it just too obvious that anti-matter, which was initially balanced in quantity with matter but now rare, was substantially consumed in forging the Ds3 particles. Implications of this discovery: Must end capitalism.

I don’t think God minds though that some of us try to figure it out. God is nothing if not compelling.

Long before flexible plastics, tape was constructed by smearing adhesive on fabric. A very good fabric that was used was “duck” — a canvas used for tents, sails and clothing (see dictionary.com). Though I used the word in that sense commonly in my youth while camping, I have seldom seen it in print since. Nevertheless, that is the origin of “duck tape” and has nothing to do with the current company that has stolen the name, and this is why I have always called it duck tape.

I generally prefer “Gaff” tape available at photo
supply houses, used for taping down cables and wiring
on a shoot. Much more adhesive than duct tape, costs
more but doesn’t delaminate like duct tape over time.

I have no intent to dissuade scientific inquiry. My point was that the triune God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as presented in the Holy Bible, is at the core of all that we see. He created all things and He holds all things together. He gave the elements their properties. That God is an awesome God is much more than a song. Speaking of Christ, Romans 11:36 says: “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”

Hahaha, yes. I had a friend who did some gigs with
Bruce Hampton years ago, one of his talents was
throwing up on cue. Ah the old days.

“one of his talents was

I could do that, just as I can slow my heartbeat. Butt why??????
