They didn't. If you can't get THAT into your head, I can't help you.

Do the theories you champion have an explanation for the increased longevity of short lived particles travelling at relativistic speeds?

I didn't mean collisions, I was talking about the life of say, a proton, travelling at .5C compared to one travelling at .999C.

You'll have to be more specific.

lol I my finger types what it wants - I was thinking about rest to relativistic muons. Proton decay is for another thread.

Nice quote from Einstein.
"The universe and human stupidity are infinite, I'm not sure about the universe. Yet.
The Sun creates a magnetic field therefore, there must be an electric current creating this field. The question is where is the source of this electricity. This same phenomena is present within the Earth, since the Earth has a magnetic field where is the electric current?

Yes, it is absolutely true that in order to have a magnetic field one must have constant power input. Magnetic fields are only created by moving charge. Magnetic fields can never be "frozen in" and self sustaining.

Accelerators themselves provide us with no useful information at all. Everything that has been learned about the nature of matter is already known. The continued operation of accelerators is pointless. They do nothing accept waste huge sums of tax payer dollars.

In a forthcoming Physical Review Letter article, the University of Nevada, Reno physicists are reporting an analysis of an experiment on violation of mirror symmetry in atoms. Their refined analysis sets new limits on a hypothesized particle, the extra Z-boson, carving out the lower-energy part of the discovery reach of the LHC.
Andrei Derevianko, an associate professor in the College of Science's Department of Physics, who has conducted groundbreaking research to improve the time-telling capabilities of the world's most accurate atomic clocks, is one of the principals behind what is believed to be the most accurate to-date low-energy determination of the strength of the electroweak coupling between atomic electrons and quarks of the nucleus.
