"In...through...and beyond!"

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not dissing their credentials. I just like to think of my group as the current leading edge researchers in this area (you know... we built this new big expensive collider and all...).

Mini-black holes are hypothesized, yes. But why wouldn't they be? I still think they are out there, just that they are not being created in the upper atmosphere by heavy collisions. I predict they require far greater energies to form.

I disagree that these are observations of black holes.

Off topic, I note that I'm comming up as a nay-sayer on several of your topics. It's nothing personal.

Don't worry about it. It generates discussion. BTW I need that collider for an experiment I'm working on...

We have a free position on the ring. Besides PHENIX (yahoo!), STAR (boo!), phobos, and brahms (who and who?) there is another position on the collider where the rings cross.

What's your thought?

I'll think of something...Antimatter, no it's pass'e. Blackholes, -No it may have been done. Ah! Thats it! The Higgs Boson. I shall demonstrate the existaence of the higg's boson and determine if it has a symetric twin or can be shielded or nuetralized,

I don't think you'll be able to do that at our machine.

Our energies aren't nearly high enough. I know a few guys who operate the D0 at Fermilab. They have data possibly confirming the existence of Higgs, but not to a high enough order of precision.

Ah well. But I need my own collider just in case. I'm getting a house with a basement...

Hey Spin...

Do you have any quick links for how the research on the RHIC stiff is going?

Thanks!

Sure,

If you're curious (and a US citizen), I can give a tour. You ARE on long island...
