A Bosom is TWO Bosons. Equal, symmetrical and resisting to gravity.

As in "Heidi's Bosom".

Heidi was Higgs' assistant at Lepizig Soviet University in 2045.

Higgs named his boson after Heidi for unknown :wink: reasons.

A less know details is that Fermi (who worked with Higgs in Seattle from 2033 to 2046 [in alternate universe 42])

called Heidi's bosom "godly". This is why Higgs boson is also known as "God's Bosom", or - but this is a mispelling - "God's Particle"

Average people will have concerns. I think clear and definite answers should be published to calm them down. So, instead of locking this thread, please make it sticky with collected links to help to get the final answer.

Apresmidi, please don't go.

Akos - I have exactly the same concerns you do. But this is not the point! This thread is _not_ about radiation levels - it's about types of reasoning that fuel conspiricy theories and fear. The discussion that has taken place on this thread has lead to a general apprehension about radiation levels, based on absolutely and utterly baseless and flawed arguments.

And now you want it as a sticky thread? What do you want to stick? Spell it out.

Kevin, I made a calculation again. Hope that would not get you furious.

I hope to get like 10% discount for 88 key version. That would be 3547USD.

I was browsing Japanese discussion forum on Korg to know any information on release date. They are all saying end May.

Dear Kevin, I wanted to make sticky only some collected and filtered information - from this topic perhaps - that can help all the concerned people and can convince them fully about the truth. (If anybody knows it.) Not the whole thread, you are right.

For example, I've just found a Hungarian company offering examination of deliveries from Japan. It's a scrolling ad on the English-language website at the bottom. They are specialists with decades of experience.

What can I think? Maybe they just want to get some money - and they already know that at the end they will declare: the parcel is OK, safe to receive (?).

Interesting! :wink:
Not sure if you still have contact to Heidi, but if so, could you ask her traveling back to year 2011 to Korg manufacturing site in Japan. There was a rumor that Heidi very much motivated Higgs in his work (for unknown :wink: reasons), thus she could potencially accelerate Kronos production, too!

X-Trade wrote:People are paranoid about radiation because they can not see, feel, or smell it. Seriously, there is radiation around us every day. Computers, microwaves, mobile phones, etc emit EM radiation. Light is a form of EM radiation. Cathode ray tube televisions and screens use effectively beta radiation (I think). Medical equipment is another.
Yes, CRTs are a fantastic source of radiation. They have electron guns in the back of the tube that generate up to 50,000 volts. Such a high energy level is necessary to shoot a beam of electrons at the screen and cause the phosphors to glow, making cute images. Of course, electron rays are what are commonly referred to as "beta radiation," and some of this leaks out to spray the room the CRT is in. They've made shielding better over the years, but if you've studied quantum mechanics at all, or even a smattering of physics, you've learned that there is no perfect radiation shield. Atoms are mostly empty space, so even dense elements like lead are simply better screens, not shields.

The result of that is you're constantly being exposed to beta radiation. :wink:

The environment is full of radioactives. There's uranium in the soil. Where do you think radioactive radon gas in basements comes from? As other brave souls have tried to say, everything around you is radioactive, even the food and water we swallow. The clothes you wear. Of course, if you become a nudist, then you lose a shield from a lot of radiation, because every layer of atoms stops some of it. Remember me talking about the sun being a huge fusion reactor? Well, a sunburn is a radiation burn, from the sun's radiation. This is why avid tanners end up with skin cancer more than other folk.

Face it people, the world is deadly through and through, and we're all gonna die from it. So have fun with it while you can and quit worrying about it. :wink:
PRAY FOR THIS PLANET!!

:facepalm: doh! Ozy! That's clearly because again you set you low pass filter to a too low cutoff frequency.. now only the H from the H2O is coming through... be glad you didn't kick up the resonance, otherwise the H would have morphed into He and that sounds funny..

Be afraid, Be very afraid of the 11th. It's the new 13th. :roll:

I continue to pray for all those affected by these aweful catastrophes!

I have boycotted the nachos from 7-11 for that exact reason.

I must have allucinations.

I think I read a post where the words "huffington post" and "knowledge" were somehow related to each other.

Can't be.
