LHC reveals hints of 'new physics' in particle decays

Researchers from the Large Hadron Collider have shown off results that may help explain why the Universe is made largely of matter, not antimatter.

Particles called D-mesons seem to decay slightly more often into one kind of particle rather than another, LHCb physicist Matthew Charles told the HCP 2011 meeting on Monday.

The phenomenon may help explain our matter-dominated Universe.

1. Jeez, freakin materialists

Know what I mean?

2. No.

5. The asymmetry Q between matter & antimatter should be resolved within 5 yrs

There are several detectors working on this question, most notably the ISS now has the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer collecting data on anti matter and cosmic rays:

"Alongside detecting any heavy antimatter nuclei — which would be a smoking gun for regions of antimatter in the Universe — the AMS will produce definitive data on the energy, charge and composition of cosmic rays from the Sun and from astrophysical sources such as supernovae and gamma-ray bursts."

"We'll be able to measure cosmic-ray fluxes very precisely," says AMS team member Fernando Barao, at the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics in Lisbon. "The best place to be is space because you don't have Earth's atmosphere that destroys cosmic rays."

4. Lol! Spiral may be referring to materialists--all for Money!!

Those who've adopted the M-theory---> Money, material, mastery (control),all about me, me, me and mine!!!
