E=MC2. Such a simple equation. But Id love to see the mathematical equations he used to refine that down to its simplest form. ;) http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/blackboard/einstein-l.htm rOZZ Music Pictures |

Exactly. Thanks Julie! Again back to the mentioned analogy between equations and our current knowledge about elementary particles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particles Once again, I scroll down to the figure in the section "Overview". The figure at the top, "Elementary particles included in the Standard Model" has room for four particles at the right, below the "Higgs boson". Is it premature for me to believe that possibly two or so of the empty spaces here may be related to particles of gravity which has yet to be discovered? There might be one missing quark and two missing leptons, but the Higgs boson is showing up in yellow for now. Are the two first rows meant for showing quarks and the two last rows for showing leptons? What about the columns in the similar way? For now, the Higgs boson is listed in its own column. Is it a quark, or is it a lepton? For the yet undiscovered graviton particle which is related to gravity, one might assume that it may either be a quark or a lepton, if it ever should be found at all. |

The Higgs boson is a boson, not a fermion like a quark. Leptons are particles interacting via the weak nuclear force, like the electron and the neutrino. Weakly interacting bosons are the W and Z particles.The Higgs field (not the boson) gives mass mostly to leptons and only in a minor way to strongly interacting particles (hadrons) like quarks and nucleons. Strongly interacting bosons are the gluons, which make quarks coalesce in nucleons. Tullio |

I counted my credit just a little while ago. Apparently a little more than 5,5 million in total right now. |

No Julie. musicplayer: 550,238 bluestar: 1,170,901 Which makes it 1,721,139 in total for these two accounts. Anyway, it should rather be 5,514,130,70 in all, believe it or not. Which is something I am quite pleased about when compared with the low credit granted for each task. |

Even with your other account thrown in I can't see anymore than 1,790,000, unless you have even more accounts floating about, or you're using some ridiculous multiplication factor that we don't know about there. |

Are you kidding me Wiggo? Except for maybe Eric Korpela et al, you should be the one to know this. Anyway, since it started this, I better finish it as well. I leave you with the main accounts. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=9262315 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=9772571 http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=9056515 (No direct web-link) http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=9062685 (No direct web-link) There you see. I am quite satisfied with this achievment. Whether or not E.T. is being found anywhere in these results is another matter. |

Gee, do you have any socks that match? |

Now a person has to ask, why so many accounts? Unless you're up to no good that is. |

I think he is still stuck on the sock question.... |

I think he is still stuck on the sock question.... Socks? What are those? :-O Just joking as I do own a few pairs, but I only use them when I decide to put shoes on. ;-) Cheers. |

Oh, it is too hot in here this evening. I have to break off running my Seti@home GPU tasks for a little while. One possibility is suspending my PrimeGrid CPU tasks and see if that helps. |

Who are putting a little color on this show except for myself? Sorry about that, but there should be room for everyone here. At times discoveries are being made through the work of science. But science as usual does have its critics as well. Is a result supposed to be valid or is it rather useless and invalid? When you are publishing your results, does what you have become the official view or opinion of the same thing? In some instances you happpen to be on your own. No one else are able to match you when it comes to skills. So, if you happen to be making a discovery, are you always supposed to be believed? Screaming critics that is. Blondes are supposed to make me crazy. |

Way back when I was a child I used to think that there was place off world where all the lost socks went. Now that I am older I think a lot more, sometimes...... |

Socks? |

No Julie. Oh, that' right, forgot about your other account. I only have one account, so people won't get confused who I really am. rOZZ Music Pictures |

Actually four accounts, so far. I'm with you Julie, 1 account will do me. Cheers. |

The more you have, the better it counts. Found the music link. Quite good one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82UrH6s-UiQ There is some loopback music there as well, but I don't have any idea. Meaning that it should be available, but I have no clue. |

Oh, it was once a tree falling on a woman. She is supposed to be pregnant. At least the story became televised (in all the thunder and rain). Goes well with Wiggo, I guess. Remembering old stuff. |
