This discovery, along with the established fact that the neutrino has mass ... a brave new world.

Imagine all those tensors getting tweaked!

So...The neutron is, essentially, an Oreo. Interesting.

I always had a sneaking suspicion about those sneaky little neutrons.

Boo-yah! Take that, physics! Another nail in the coffin of the religious dogma of Newtonism!

(If all branches of science were like biology ...)

Hmm. Positive on the inside, negative on the outside.

Does this mean it hopes for the best, but plans for the worst?

Gerald A. Miller, a UW physics professor, has found that the neutron has a negative charge both in its inner core and its outer edge, with a positive charge sandwiched in between to make the particle electrically neutral.

Perhaps this is related to the understanding of the neutron as being composed of three quarks, one up quark with charge +2/3 and two down quarks, each with charge -1/3.

Fascinating. BMFLR.

I'm way out of my element here, but this sounds like an NPN transistor.

The notion was first put forth in 1947 by Enrico Fermi

Fermi lied, neutrons died!

I already knew that. But then again, when you think in 4 dimensions then nothing is analog.
