Cross Section & Mass: Is There a Relation?

[Ranku]

Ethan Siegel is not a reliable source. On multiple occasions he has made an error, I reported it to him, he acknowledged the error, and then didn't correct it. He writes "sciency entertainment" not science.

In any event, I think this thread can be closed. You asked a question, got an answer, and did not accept the answer. What purpose is there in going around again and again and again?

As a matter of fact I also got into an argument with him about an error, and while he acknowledged the error privately, he didn’t correct it in his blog.
Anyways, that’s besides the point. I didn’t say I didn‘t accept the answer…I am just exploring the issue. I was about to request closing the thread myself, since someone else is extending it unnecessarily.

... since someone else is extending it unnecessarily.

In this case, I thank everybody for their participation and lock the thread.
