Oh, there's plenty of Christians in science.. I believe the most famous is Christian Doppler

My point was that regardless of the nameless object of imagination being a hypothesis (proposed explanation) or purely imaginary (like a myth or a thought experiment).. they can STILL have names. The only thing a name requires is that it sticks to the public opinion.

Maybe it is a hidden allegory? Funny :)

Is this for real? My mind was just blown.

Electromagnetism = Travels in photons (allows us to see light etc)

Hypothetical things (even we if know for a fact are just that) have names; yggdrasil, shrödinger's cat, puff the magic dragon, anima and animus, romulus and remus etc..

Well, I'm not a doctor or anything but I can attempt to answer your question. The real answer is unknown. HIggs boson just might be weirdly heavy (for some particular reason) or alternatively it might consist of several lighter particles (supersymmetry). The mechanism might just as easily be something totally…

@Jonn Wow, an x-block.. that's way cool.

I love your single-speed, Ewan. Very trendy.

Too long. Did not read :)

That was very wizard! The guild was very strong with the latter one.

Well, Rei is the clone of Shinji's mother and they are somewhat attracted to each other wouldn't you say?

I started reading this, and then BAMM! Evangelion? What in the world, okay.. huge mechas and mega destruction and maybe it could work. I mean, if we leave everything else out (underage girls in tights, sobbing boys with daddy issues etc) we still get a decent entertaining movie

This looks so old school! I love it. Count me in.

Sounds like a plan :)

I can feel some new memes coming to life. Can you feel it too?

Well, because you don't want Kate spending any unnecessary minutes in the movie in inferior clothing.

Word of the day: moxie.

I'm sorry, I can't comment now.. my processor is still churming.

It's not only a mathematical concept. It is also a philosophical one. If you are not happy with that, then you can always put your mind to rest and consider infinity in physics, cosmology, art, logic, computing etc.
