Who are these /. morons? (Score 4)

As a graduate student in physics at Berkeley, I take great offence at some of the comments here. What bothers me is that some people make comments as if they knew what they are talking about. Nothing annoys physicists more then idiots who make half-baked comments without even knowing what they are talking about. The fact that these particles live for a fraction of a second does not mean that the proof of their existence is flimsy. They are detected by looking for a series of reactions (decays) that occur once the particle has been created. It is not easy but at least physicists are honest enough to make their errors public. It is a shame the general public is too stupid to understand this or the work that is carried out.
