Faster than light and way smaller than electrons

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a hypothesis proposing the existence of particles with significantly less mass than electrons that travel faster than light and do not interact with known matter. It highlights that such a hypothesis lacks physical implications and, therefore, cannot be disproved, rendering it valueless. A humorous remark about unicorns suggests that if they exist and are harmed by these particles, it would disprove the hypothesis. The conversation ultimately dismisses the topic as speculative and not suitable for serious discussion. The thread concludes with a lock on the discussion due to its nonsensical nature.

how can this hypothesis be disproved that matter exists made of particles having million times less mass than electrons and million times faster than light and not interacting with the the matter or waves we know of making a universe surrounding our universe

A hypothesis with no physical implications cannot be disproved...and also has no value.

Are these particles lethal to unicorns? If so we need only carry out proper autopsies on dead unicorns. (Animal welfare organisations and the Semantic Security Services would prevent us doing these on live ones.)
 
unicorns travel faster than light, so these particles would be lethal to them

the existence of unicorns therefore conclusively disproves the existence of such particles :smile:
 
Enough of this nonsense, Last I checked we do not allow speculation on this site.

Locked.
 
Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
