> dhw: If you insist on making divisions, how about the reality we think we know, and the reality we don't know? Or the reality we think we understand, and the reality we don't understand? What would I call them? I don't need to call them anything.-Fine. I'll use a question: I have no idea why we can understand so much about the universe, an amazing fact in itself, and yet reach a level of reality where we have no understanding at all? Why isn't it all clear? I know 'why' questions are philosophical or theological. I try to have an answer that seems to make sense. You throw up your hands and say I just don't know. To each his own.-But our scientists are still trying: a four-quark particle has just popped up:-"After much more study, both teams concluded that what their data was showing them was something both new and real. Initial indications are that Zc(3900) is indeed a previously unknown type of matter—a particle with four quarks. Combined, the research teams have found 460 examples of the Zc(3900) particle giving serious credence to their actual existence. Thus far, the particle appears to have an electric charge and at least one charm and one anti-charm quark. Both teams suspect that it also has an up and anti-down quark as well, giving it its full complement of four quarks."- Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2013-06-collider-teams-evidence-particle-z3900.html#jCp-Clear as mud, right?
