Enter Professor Howard Georgi who has recently proposed unparticle physics or physics that cannot be explained by particles. Described as 'fun' by Georgi, this new theory would describe an uncharted area of the standard model where scale-invariance holds and properties of objects don't change when their dimensional qualities are multiplied by a scalar factor. You can access his first paper on Unparticle Physics as well as his second paper which are both up for review."
