Big fan of CP violations, here.

Speaking as a Brit, and at least something of a scientist, I can attest that at least some of us are pervs.

CP is Charge and Parity, though, sadly.

And this is where both bottom and beauty come from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_quark.

My brain is broken from trying to imagine an anti-bottom.

Well, Pandora my dear, The Register is British, and I do maintain that *all* of you Brits are perverts. So far, nothing has disproved my theory!

(Or, if it has, I’ve conveniently ignored it and will continue to do so!)

Hmmmm. I note that I think all Brits are pervs, and all scientists are pervs. It’s really a compliment to both groups. Now what it says about British scientists…. [even bigger grin]

That is quite astonishing – and EXTREMELY entertaining! Can it really be coincidence?
