Heavy aluminum. Why?
Are they trying to make an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?
Sounds like the kind of mess my three youngest kids make of my house on a Saturday afternoon.
So, what is its value and impact on our society?
I’ll sleep better knowing this.
No, it's like GM installing auto brakes on the fifth day of production.
Wait- it's more like filing taxes, exactly five business days after completing an audit.
NO! I have a better analogy..........
This discovery lead to major advances in tin foil hat technology!
Before you know it they will be making gold ...and then we can all live forever.
This reminds me of part of the premise for ‘The Gods Themselves’ by Isaac Asimov. Not trying to read anything into it, but I think they were playing with heavy isotopes of light elements too at the beginning.
“Like Adam in the book of Genesis, the heavy magnesium nuclei started appearing on the fifth day of the experiment. “
Oh yeah! Da Vinci Code sequel here I come!
Would the math and logic involved in the reality that these theories attempt to understand argue for some sort of design? After all this is reverse engineering isn’t it?
What they found with the particle detector was nuclei. Is it possible that any of these nuclei would have some property making it unable to take on the electrons required to become an atom?
!!!!!
Holy cow, had no idea they could do that! Always thought they had to produce thousands or millions of something before they had any real chance of seeing it. What are they doing now, cataloging and identifying every single particle produced? That's just amazing.
Hmm. I see a lot of ignoranium floating around on this thread! ;^)
Sorry, Science News. Adam appeared on the sixth day. Probably don't have too many Bibles sitting around the lab, I guess.
Interesting article, neverdem, thanks for posting it.
According to Baumann, most theories had predicted that aluminum-42 wouldn't exist... The discovery of aluminum-42 suggests that even heavier aluminum isotopes could exist...I didn't check, but I'm sure the usual jokes (Star Trek IV, Doug Addams, etc) have already appeared.
The findings could help astrophysicists understand occasional X-ray emissions from neutron stars that are growing in mass. The 7-day-long experiment took place at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), an atom smasher at Michigan State University in East Lansing."Does this aluminum-42 make my cornea look fat" ping.

This would be a lame simile even if it were accurate, but Adam was created on the sixth day in Genesis.
The findings could help astrophysicists understand occasional X-ray emissions from neutron stars that are growing in mass.While revisiting, realized it could be an X-Planets topic because of the above snip.
