Your science minute (aka Obner's little brother)

While reviewing a frickin' french grade 12 physics course at work the other day I came across something that I thought my fellow Obners should be made aware of:

Quote:

In particle physics, a hadron is a subatomic particle which experiences the nuclear force. These are not fundamental particles but are composed of fermions, called quarks and antiquarks, and of bosons, called gluons. The gluons mediate the color force that binds the quarks together.

You know... if we ever need to rename the board for any reason...

If you're still not with me, there is also the following:

Quote:

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator and collider located at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland (46°14′00″N, 6°03′00″E). Currently under construction, the LHC is scheduled to begin operation (at reduced energies) in November 2007. The LHC is expected to become the world's largest and highest energy particle accelerator in 2008, when commissioning at 7 TeV is completed. The LHC is being funded and built in collaboration with over two thousand physicists from 34 countries, universities and laboratories.

I admit it...I'm bored. (Obsessive apartment-hunting online...)

I really wanna post a reply but I've promised to cut down on the dick jokes.

If it comes down to Obner vs. Hadron, we can hold an election.

I see your size 9 white there, Steve

Nothing is size 9 and white.

Damn, backsliding already!

No worries, Lumpy. My aunt once said "I've got dick on the brain". It's just unavoidable.

My hadron exploded gluon all over your bosons?
