LHC double heavy particle to shine light on strong force
Scientists have detected a new particle at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern.
The discovery will help researchers learn more about the so-called "strong force" which holds the centres of atoms together.
The existence of the new particle was theoretically predicted but this is the first time it has been identified.
The details of the Xi-cc++ particle were presented at a high-energy physics conference in Venice.
[...] This is the first time that researchers have confirmed the existence of [a particle] with two heavy quarks. According to Prof Guy Wilkinson of Oxford University, there is an intriguing difference between the new particle and the ones that have been discovered before.
"In contrast to other particles of this type, in which the three quarks perform an elaborate dance around each other, a particle with two heavy quarks is expected to act like a planetary system, where the heavy quarks are like two stars orbiting one around the other, with the lighter quark orbiting around this binary system."

Does the article say it was discovered by Putin? there wasn't enough information in the summary and it is too hard to click the link.

Nope, they just wrote a short, obvious and neutral summary and then promptly used it as a jumping off point to link to a batshit insane article about human sacrifice at CERN. Still wondering how people exist that buy this piece of shit website.

I know!
I keep telling them that human sacrifice is strictly required to appease the gods, otherwise we have repeats of the bird-with-bread and squirrel-in-transformer episodes.
for some reason they keep saying human sacrifice is wrong and they write these long articles about it.

I thought North Korea was the new Russia:
isn't EVERYTHING discovered by Kim Jong-un? He is soooooo God like....
"Kim Jong-un, oooooh you are SOOOOO big!"

Our sources says there's Russian subatomic interference.

They are Russia's BBC after all.
