I'd rather have the Mr Squiggle drawings than the hideous term here. What is that thing, anyway ?

Mind you, there's no evidence that Cox understands either of 'em.
.. The eternal search goes on ..

.. Perhaps a good one to add to Suzy's list of Cox questions !!

Craig,

I think trying to explain the "thing" in a few lines is beyond the scope of the General Chat forum and the Science forum.

With regards to the diagrams this might help.

I can't comment on the video due to my ultra slow dial up.

If Cox is an experimental particle physicist he will definitely understand the diagrams. Even for theoretical particle physicists the maths is extremely complicated which is why the diagrams were developed in the first place.

Regards

Steven
