Thank God there are still scientists out there doing actual science instead of religion disguised as same.

stunning news. By golly, the Swiss have done it.

Back when we were having colder winters no one ever observed this going on. It’s just one more effect of man-made global climate change.

It’s the strongest correlation yet. Next up, quasi particle credits.

Where did the charge go? When the electron splits up who does it stay with? Does the other quasi-particle get to visit in on weekends?

“Using samples of the copper-oxide compound Sr2CuO3, the researchers lifted some of the electrons belonging to the copper atoms out of their orbits and placed them into higher orbits by manipulating them with X-rays.”
This is HUGH!!!!

Very interesting! I think the bottom line is that EVERYTHING is information. Matter, energy... we are what we are because the information describing us is written in the fabric of the Universe, the Mind of God, if you will.

Not “Par Mesans”, “Parmesan”, as in cheese, proving once again that everything is made of cheese - the moon, everything.

This is interesting - it may indicate that there is an inherent attraction between the quasi particles that is being counteracted by the added energy of xray manipulation. Then when the electron moves to the higher energy state it becomes unstable enough to seperate as there is enough energy to counteract the attractive force. When the energy is removed/released it allows the electron to ‘coalesce’ back into a combined particle within the lower enegry state.
How is it that the additional energy is repulsive instead of attractive or neutral? Is this related to the weak nuclear force in same manner? And as someone else mentioned - what happens to the charge.

So is it the spinon or obitron which causes the magic smoke to be released when an IC is sent to its final demise?

There is an intelligence driving nature. Seems like God to me.

Spinon and Orbitron? Big deal. I rode those at Six Flags when I was twelve.

I can't answer how without further reflection, but I do have a name for the additional "repulsive energy:" the pelosi charge.

These electrons that are breaking up into quasi-particles are going into 0 charge state, so they are quasi-mode-0’s..............
