I have an idea for a new thread...

How the word Boob was invented,

 

 

That concludes todays lesson.

The Higgs boson is the only particle left in our understanding of particle physics (called the Standard Model) that we haven’t discovered. We think it exists — there’s math that postulates it does — it simply has never been observed. This is why it’s called the “God Particle,” because it’s the particle that would explain the difference between objects with mass and objects that have only energy — objects with form and objects without.

 

If we do find it, we’ll know that we have the right idea about how particles acquire mass — as in, how photons, riding on beams of light, have no mass at all, while the W and Z bosons (two particles that govern the “weak force,” one of the fundamental forces that keep atoms together) have the masses that they do, and why other subatomic particles have the weights that they have.

 

If you’ve paid any attention to physics or physical science research in the past few years, you’ve heard about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. The LHC was built partially with the hopes of finding the elusive Higgs boson, a theorized but undiscovered particle which, if found, would sew up nicely our understanding of the relationship between mass and energy.

these are quite old, but if you havent seen any of them then it is well worth a watch. The songs are changed to what literally happens in the video. The total eclipse of the heart was one of the first and still one of the best. unfortunately due to copyright laws it has to have some stupid cat in the picture. Other ones to watch are meatloaf, seperate Ways and the darkness one is not bad.

The median life of a thread is just 3.9 minutes...The fastest thread to expire was gone in 28 seconds (i.e., a thread with no responses during a very high activity period); the longest-lived lasted 6.2 hours (i.e., a thread with frequent new posts to bump it).

The median thread spends just 5 seconds on the first page over its entire lifetime..The fastest thread was pushed off the first page in less than one second (actually, 58 of them shared this dubious honor), and the most prominent thread spent 37 minutes on the first page cumulatively over its lifetime.

Threads last the longest between 9am and 10am EST and expire fastest between 5pm and 7pm EST. High activity is sustained until 3am or 4am EST. This result suggests that, despite the not infrequent references to European and British users (e.g. “eurofags” and “britfags”), the demographics of /b/ are primarily North Americans that use the website after business or school hours.

Though the site may be ephemeral, /b/ users have developed other mechanisms to keep valuable content. For example, users often refer to having a “/b/ folder” on their com- puters where they preserve images for future enjoyment or remixing. /b/ posters ask others to dig into their archives; for example, this user wants to shock a friend, and donates an image of a cat in return: 'Have a friend here, need the most ****** up **** you have in your /b folder, can’t pro- vide much, considering not on my comp, but here is a cat.' /b/ users have also developed sites like 4chanarchive.org to save particularly important or 'epic' threads.

Triforcing means leaving a post using Unicode to mimic the three-triangle icon of pop- ular video game The Legend of Zelda: Newcomers will be taunted by a challenge that 'newfags can’t triforce.' Uninitiated users will then copy and paste an existing triforce into their reply. It will look like a correct tri- force in the reply field; however, after posting, the alignment is wrong. The only way to display high status and produce a correct triforce on 4chan is to use a complicated series of Unicode character codes.

In regards to tempo, we found that the board had roughly 35,000 threads and 400,000 posts...Digg has about 7,100 “threads” each day (1.3 million over six months), and 65,000 new YouTube videos each day. So, /b/ has roughly the same amount of posting activity as arenas like Usenet and Youtube, but all of this activity happens in one forum board.
