tennis ball theory

[llwyd]

Well there is some interesting reads on a few discoveries / theories Here and Here

The thing I was talking about however was something one of my old physics teachers was pretty excited about and i've heard nothing of since. Apparently two atoms (not sure what of, might've been subatomic particles) were collided at full speed and some of the fragments produced left the collision at massive speed and disappeared, off of all monitoring equipment, only to reappear on the same trajectory further out in the chamber and just under the speed of light. My teacher reckoned they had discovered another dimension, something to do with antimatter or time had stopped. I didnt really take much interest at the time.

There was also a case recently, which I dont think involved CERN where what was basically a black hole was created for a nanosecond.

How much is fact I dont know but I would love to read more on both......... infact, google here I come

Thanks for the links mate, I appreciate it. The incidents that you made mention of are now driving me to Google...and I gotta go to bed. Lemme know how you get on and we can chat some more tomorrow.

I am the 'friend' referred to at the start of this thread! So glad to see that we aren't the only people willing to blow a few brain cells on this important scientific research. The TBT (Tennis Ball Theory for the uninitiated!) has kept us going for a few years now!

In response to many posts here who are basing their theories against the theory of relativity confuses me though. Surely that theory is based on the assumption that light can be used as a constant. By exceeding that in the initial construct do we not null the use of this theory when formulating a solution?

I think (like the layman i am) that we must begin to dip our toes into the General Theory yet to be discovered. I confess though even the mention of the word Quantum sets my eyes rolling in their sockets!
