Meet Ξcc+, a new charming proton-like particle discovered by smashing particles at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment.

Pronounced Xi-c-c-plus, the new fleeting particle contains 2 heavy charm quarks and 1 down quark, while the more familiar proton contains 2 up and 1 down quark.

Mass: ~4x that of the proton
Mean lifetime τ: 45 femtoseconds (4.5e-14 seconds)
Charge: +1
Of interest to: Theorists in quantum chromodynamics 😎⚛️

I seriously question humanity being the highest species on the ladder.

90 per cent of it fixates on a ball in a match more than sorting kindness for other lives, and many vote for narcissistically advantageous politics devoid of altruism which has been observed in other species.

Put a ball in a field or court, and people obsess just like a dog.

Put a minority or disenfranchised person of any kind in a field or court, and it will either be ignored or be a legal one to restrict or scapegoat it.

And instead of labeling things cruel if they cost animal lives, we have to label them cruelty-free, vegan or plant-based. These should be the default, but no, instead extreme societal conditioning redirects to fear of kinder paths to genuine health, and promotes acceptance of industry bloating from harm and exploitation based profits.
