First collisions at the LHC with unprecedented Energy! (Ask a particle physisicist)
RE: - (Ask a particle physisicist)

Of course, you are too polite to say what I stated.  I apologize for any such suggestion.

However, you might want to reread my post, as it was limited in what it was about.  However polite you may be, I have contributed nothing to the science of this thread.  It is only in deviating from science that my posts have any value in this thread.

I would never argue with you online about any scientific idea.  Even if you stated that the earth is flat, the most I would state online is something along the lines of that not being the generally held idea among scientists.  Of course, I would not believe such a thing, but I would not argue with you about it.  (And obviously, I am picking an absurd idea, so that everyone may understand the point.  You know more about science than I have ever known, or will ever know.  And I am smart enough to not argue with you about a subject when I know that you know much more about it than I do.)

And thank you again, Uncle K, for your explanations of various scientific ideas.  There are at least several of us who appreciate it.

And, as I have stated already, I appreciate the fact that you understand the limits of your subject and are averse to pretending that you know things that you do not know.  People who speak as though they know everything are automatically not believable.
