Undergrad What do tau particles DO? What is their function/purpose?
Thanks Berserkman! Thanks all as well: some things to think about. That said, I DO think that to say something has no purpose is kind of silly: seeking purpose and meaning in the universe should be something science should tackle, within limits: yes, a random asteroid may not have any Grand...- Joseph Ross Mayhew

The Tau lepton is a good case in point: even the Wikipedia article is absolutely silent regarding what the...- Joseph Ross Mayhew
