FG: MAFIA 31: Nobel Laureates of Doom

[Jon Miller]

I like the physics posts

Clearly,

But sure don't we all.

While I (t' Hooft) am still unclear on the mechanics of how the Higgs particle "generates and imparts" mass to the other, nominally massless particles (i.e., photon, gluons), I guess that's more the concern of my fellow physicists.

I just did the math that confirms the likely existence (however brief) of the Higgs particle. It's up to others to do the actual observing of it...

If only the US had gone through with their plan for a superconducting supercollider... (sigh)

[Whoha]

anyway Gross and I got a supply of unobtainium via certain... unnamed... parties, we're having a good bit of fun with the stuff.

I'm looking to score some Upsydaisium from a big moose...

(kill came in yesterday, I have had a hard time thinking of good clues for this mafia)

The next morning found Kenneth Wilson . Apparently he had decided to go walking down at the train tracks (he had had a call shortly before he left the hotel, hotel staff informed the police), and his shoes had gotten stuck in really powerful glue. When the train came, in the dark, he hadn't been able to get away and had been killed.

The police ruled it in accident.

Eh, I should add that his Nobel prize was once more missing.

The Physicists decided that the killer must still be lose and that another vote would take place that night.

In light of all the murders, apparently not the brightest of Nobel laureates...

ok everyone, we'll have classes on successfully untieing shoes later on. DarkCloud in continuation of the ljube docpile list.

So one death was really slippery and another was really sticky. Very reminiscent of the important and under-appreciated field of Physical Resistance.

As everyone knows, these qualities represent the extreme opposite ends of the spectrum on the Snottyness Scale.

(Snotty = Carl Wieman = American)

[rah]

and an American no less. Good Catch Dr.
I'll have to go along with Snotty also

[Kassiopeia]

Have I voted? If not, Snotty.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Hey don't get all snotty with me, get your own Nobel.

[Adrian Hon]

I find -Jrabbit's speculation to be highly persuasive - Snotty it is!

[Jonny]

Snotty, why not...

Hmmm, maybe I should write the laws of relativity within the Mafia field for my next Nobel Prize:

Jonny's First Law of Mafian Relativity:
For every vote condemning a suspect to death, there will be at least 5 more identical and equal votes (though originating from different sources) in the same votesequence.
