Zero facts.
Zero contradiction of any facts.
Zero point.

One big zero bob. Bravo.

Two wheels are more mobile than 4 or 6. Tighter turning, zero point. Takes up less space.

i found out that Hawaii is zero points off your license for speeding. You can speed all you want, as long as you pay your fines.

so did they or didn't they?
every article I've read announces they've found it! but in the article itself they backpedal and say that they're pretty sure they found it.
I loves me my science but they are notorious for hyping up stuff like this only for the hype to not measure up.


They found a blip which is a particle that resembles the Higgs, they have yet to determine if it is a boson. Bosons are usually the force carriers, so this is important if it is the fit into the understanding of what the Higgs is in the standard model (a force carrier for mass). If it turns out to be a fermion, or crazy worse, a lepton (very improbable), then we will have to go back to the drawing board for the standard model. Also, the Higgs is seemingly lighter than predicted, this causes some math issues with zero-point energy. With as much as a full gigaelectron volt difference between the 2 detectors for the Higgs, there is still a lot of work to do. That isn't to understate the importance of this, there is something going on.

375 point 000? numbers, how do they work?

one point zero zero zero point zero zero zero


WTF? Nope.
The decimal point is a decimal point everywhere.



Last time I looked the UK is in Europe and I can tell you right now the period isn't the thousands separator. Where the hell are you getting this info from? I've never seen a comma used as a decimal point, not in France, Spain, Germany or Belgium (the other european countries I have actually been to). You are wrong.

I'd love to know how you're 'checking' your facts before compounding an error.

Captain Obvious strikes again!

No it's not, silly american education.

We need a Zero-point energy field manipulator... aka Gravity gun.

That guy sucks! He only got zero points. Boo!

>> ^Stormsinger:
He said it could run on solar power, for Pete's sake! This just screams con-artist to me.

That looked like a piss-poor editing job on 60 Minutes' part. He was clearly about to continue on with a qualification of some sort like "if you used solar power to hydrolyze water into hydrogen and fed that into the fuel cell".

I think the real thing they gloss over here is that it produces CO2 emissions. They were comparing it to the pathetic amount of power they got from solar, but solar doesn't require any fuel, nor does it produce CO2.

If it's a big improvement over the efficiency of power plants, it's still a huge deal, and could reduce CO2 emissions via improved efficiency, but it's not a silver bullet.

A silver bullet would be something like cold fusion, zero point energy, some sort of direct matter-to-energy converter, or just a form of algae that produces a ridiculous volume of biofuel.

Translation (and yes, the play of words is as lame in German as it is in English):
Morgenhans: Well, the 2 most beautiful points, which are the 2 points of my beautiful Czech Susanka, will stay with me tonight. Right? That's for ...SMACK...
Susanka: Is he out of his mind? Jerk!
Morninghans: Just a joke...
Susanka: Funny, only nobody is laughing. Let's do the points...zero points for Big FM Morgenhans....


Not totally accurate I guess.
