“The electroweak theories of Weinberg and Salam predicted levels of nonconservation that looked extremely hard to measure.”
“They claim that this nonconservation is actually predicted by a loophole in the standard model, which may be true, but it's never actually been observed -- if anyone observed such a violation experimentally, they'd definitely get the Nobel prize.”
“Given this new perspective, we have to reconceptualize the nature of the injustice of conquest – it’s not the displacement of conservation by nonconservation, but displacement of one civilization by another.”
