Bizarre Particles Keep Flying Out of Antarctica’s Ice, and They Might Shatter Modern Physics

There’s something mysterious coming up from the frozen ground in Antarctica, and it could break physics as we know it.

That’s a rather slobby name for a particle.

Interesting article though.

I think “slepton” is a great name for a subatomic particle. Pity it doesn’t exist, ruled out by LHC observations.

This may be the best evidence yet for physics beyond the standard model. But as the LHC has repeatedly confirmed the standard model to higher and higher accuracy, can we trust it?

The possibility within the standard model includes the tau particle and the tau neutrino, but this isn’t supposed to happen often enough to be detectable.

Two anomalous events from ANITA, a further three possible events from IceCube.

“taken together, the ANITA and IceCube anomalous events provide dramatic and highly credible evidence of the first new bona fide beyond-standard-model phenomena”.

Has it a son and do they sell junk together

As Prime Minister, Wilson wished to have Corbett appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), but the middle initial “H” was lost in the process and the award went to the Sooty puppeteer, Harry Corbett, instead. Both were eventually included in the same New Year’s Honours list on 1 January 1976.

Sooty killed my dad! Matthew Corbett reveals how his father’s obsession with a glove puppet led him to an early grave

When Harry Corbett picked up a tatty glove puppet for a few shillings in 1948, he had no idea it would make him a fortune. Or that his obsession with it would drive him to an early grave. Here his son Matthew tells how…
