Bose came up with the new way of counting these things in a paper he sent to
Einstein unsolicited, which Einstein politely read, had translated, and
published. Those things that can be added this new way are known today as
bosons, and those that can't be added this new way are fermions.

So, are we talking about "heavy" energy here? I like that.

Most of the physics posts laud the standard model, and new confirmations of
well-known laws and theories.

But every so often, one pops up about "a long-standing well-known problem ..."
that exposes great gaps in our understanding. <Chuckles>

When someone gets to the edge and photographs the elephants and turtle,
everything we know will be obsolete. :-)
