From: Mark Iverson * Enjoy the SuperBowl commercials! They're not nearly as good as they used to be...
But there are more of them, so aren't we the same satisfied consumers, as ever? Hey, substituting quantity for quality - this is the Hallmark of McCapitalism, no? Hold the pink slime :-) Speaking of Super-hype, this may be a good time to introduce the so-called the "superpartner" (sparticle) which is hypothetical. (Who says mainstream physicists are not repressed drama queens? If it's not named after divinity then it has to be an action hero, right?). Supersymmetry predicts the existence of these "shadow" particles; and like so many things that work on paper, this could have a tinge of reality - even at so-called "low energy". (the strong force is NEVER low energy, even if the reaction space has low net energy density, compared to the LHC, due to low probability of quark alignment). Of interest to Ni-H emerging theory is one superpartner called the "gluino" which is related to the gluon in a shadowy kind of eightfold way - and could be involved in proton mass depletion without transmutation. The idea being that proton mass depletion fuels the gain which is experimentally seen in a chain of related experiments: Thermacore, Mills, Piantelli, Focardi, Celani, Rossi, DGT et al. - without much of a radiation signature. They coulda called it the Buddino. The really ironic thing is that Supersymmetry derives whatever modicum of proof it enjoys from ultra-high energy beam experiments, yet a higher acceleration gradient is arguably present from the strong force and no beam, when two protons approach each other at femtometers geometry with quark suppression of Coulomb charge. If you feel like getting really weird on SuperSunday (instead of guzzling beers and watching a bunch of pampered overpaid jocks do mock battle)- then try to wade through the references from the Wiki summary at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangeness_production Mind-bending, Jones ... with technical consultation from Milo Minderbinder, "Mess" Officer and McCapitalist deluxe
