Accepted Notion Of Neutron's Electrical Properties Overturned By New Research

A neutron goes in a bar and orders a drink. He says “How much for the beer?” Bartender says, “For you? no charge.”

[Noumenon]

Let us also not forget the elemental particle undelying the liberal universe: the moron.

[Red Badger]

Yes, the moron is an elemental particle, but it’s effects are nullified by the ZION.................

[Duke Nukum]

now maybe we can add creamy goodness to the list...

Yeah, when I was a kid, I always like the creamy goodness better so it is obvious, now at least, that that would have the positive charge. A lot of times, at least until my mom or grandma figures out a way to stop me, I would just throw away those negative cookie parts.

Probably teaching me to dunk got me to eat the cookie part. Maybe there is a equivalent in the particle cookie world? Proton dunking.

[Kevmo]

Fascinating. BMFLR.

Physics: A Theory In Crisis.

Teach the controversy.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Maybe the strong force is just a result of a neutron looking like a neutral particle from a far distance, but having a much more intricate electrical profile when near another particle.

The three separate charges could look like a molecule and form something akin to bonds with nearby particles.

Just a thought.

Every particle is composed of quarks, which might have similar properties when particles come together.

Anti-God Newtonian apple-worshipers.

“Does this mean it hopes for the best, but plans for the worst?” ... or does it mean that neutrons formed when dimension time was in its first backlash from point present to linear future and back to point present, before bursting into our current unstable spacetime expansion (expanding for stability’s sake don’tchaknow)? Oh my, all the where/whens to find, how will we ever do it?

[Political Junkie Too]

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.

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

[Aquinasfan]

The notion was first put forth in 1947 by Enrico Fermi

Fermi lied, neutrons died!

[bill1952]

clear as mud.

[ko_kyi]

How can that be? The science was settled. There was consensus.

1. Neutron "Oreoists" are just deniers in the pay of Big Oil.

2. We have modified our terminology to refer to "Macro-uncharged nuclear particles" instead of "Neutrons." When you hear "Neutrons" it is probably some Oreoist with an agenda.

[CougarGA7]

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

[DarthVader]

Fermi didn’t lie, he pioneered the knowledge which has grown off of his work to this discovery. There maybe more power in the atom that we have not harnessed yet.

> So...The neutron is, essentially, an Oreo. Interesting.
I guess that makes it a politically incorrect particle.
