Hadron Collider finds new form of matter

It would be awesome to have been smart enough/driven enough to be one of these scientist.

Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, the overachieving device famous for finding the Higgs boson, have confirmed that a new particle called Z(4430) exists, and is the best evidence to date of a new form of matter called a tetraquark.

Right now, scientists still aren't 100% sure a tetraquark would obey the laws of physics. Thomas Cohen at the University of Maryland in College Park told New Scientist: "Our computers aren't yet big enough to solve the theory from first principles."

Can't even imagine how cool it would be to be the one to discover some crazy scientific shite like this.

Damn science, you crazy.

So what does it mean?

If they exist, they most certainly obey the laws of physics. If they do not conform to currently understood scientific laws, then perhaps they are in need of revision.
Nothing can escape physics.

Personally I have always been pretty satisfied with the regular ole boring matter. Hell it would at least obey the laws of physics. That's all we need.... Another law breaker.

It's amazing what you can do with enough grant money.
Posted on 4/12/14 at 12:36 am to SuperSaint
Anyone else think it's weird that they spend all this money crashing hardons together

The physics taught in high school is all wrong and is simply a generalization used to teach principles that can be applied in an everyday environment (one with angular momentum and large bodies)

Then how do they know it exists? And if it is a "NEW form of matter" does this not make all previous scientific conclusions a mute point?

Yes, completely silent.

I can still hear it.

No. This form of matter was predicted by theory, it just never was created before.
And it's spelled "moot".

It is basic research done to better understand how the laws of physics explain the universe
I'm sure that sounds pompous and irrelevant but this kind of research could end up being revolutionary in practical (but perhaps presently unpredictable) ways. Our understanding of quantum mechanics has done exactly this to human technology over the last century.

it means we should all be excited about what could be around the corner

Wow, so something like the Iphone 7 being released without even having to stop at Iphone 6?
Amazing...
