Does anyone care that charged massless fermions cannot exist?

If they don't exist, how do we know if they're charged, massless, or fermions? OoOh.

I'm sorry. I just wrote the stupidest post ever.

Oh, no! That was a snarky remark about the stupidest post ever. It is, of course, a joke. I certainly don't care about the stupid fermions, massless or not and I'm the one who wrote it! LOL

Shhhhh!

ETA Damn! You're fast Z!

Maybe you should post what was in the file.

Daniel,

I know you said to PM you if we figured anything out. I really haven't, but I did want to share an hypothesis.

I think Bree's dad was pointing out the substance in her blood that makes her desired by The Order.

He said that contact would be "periodic," and then said that he left money on the "table."

Both statements aren't true, from what I remember. I remember that the money was found in P. Monkey, and that contact didn't occur regularly.

I think he was saying "Periodic Table," as in Periodic Table of the Elements. I think he might have been tipping us off as to what substance The Order is looking for in Bree's blood that makes her desirable for The Ceremony.

I am checking the Table for uncommon elements found in human blood. The most promising so far are Lanthanides, which are also called "rare earth elements." A couple of these are found in blood at the pg/mL amounts.

That is extremely clever, Apo. Even if it doesn't turn out to be anything, you get major kudos from me.

wow apo, you never fail to amaze me. kudos.

Bah, I'm probably way off base, but it is kind of you and Mireille to say so.

*claps for Apo* I'd never have thought of that!

figured it had something to do with table cuz i noticed that "the table" was the only part where he started a new line before running out of space on the page.... good job apo...

Posted: **Wed May 23, 2007 1:34 am**

The first thing that struck me was the inconsistant line lengths. There is probably a reason for that...

The text reads:

Code: Select all

BREE, HOPE YOU FIND THIS NOTE
I'M SO SORRY FOR THE WAY EVERYTHING HAS TURNED OUT.
I GENUINELY THOUGHT OUR CONVERSATION WITH THE DEACONS WOULD GO WELL.  I JUST WANT THE BEST FOR YOU.
YOU CAN TRUST DANIEL.  STAY AWAY FROM THE HOUSE FOR A FEW MONTHS.

FOR NOW, CONTACT WILL BE PERIOTIC.  I LEFT MONEY ON
THE TABLE.

BE STRONG, BREE.  I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.  MORE THAN YOU KNOW.
DON'T FORGET YOUR QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS OR SUPERCONDUCTIVITY.  QUOTING MS. POPPINS: SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS.
             LOVE,
                DAD

If you count the words on each line you get:
6
11
18
13
10
2
12
11
1
1

This does not look like a simple letter substitution, but it might be. Going with the periodic table idea, substituting the element that has that atomic number it makes no sense. Using the element to the left makes no sense either. The numbers total to 85, the atomic number of Astatine. Again, no sense. Separating by phrase length doesn't yield anything either. I'm still fairly certain line length and chemistry are involved... somehow.

This might be irrelevant, but is it normal for peole to write in all capital letters?

I looked up supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in Wikipedia and found this bit:

Roots of the word have been defined, as Richard Lederer writes in his book Crazy English as follows: super- "above," cali- "beauty," fragilistic- "delicate," expiali- "to atone," and docious- "educable," with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educatability through delicate beauty." This explication of its connotations suits the fictional character of Mary Poppins, in that she presents herself as both superlatively beautiful and also supremely intelligent and capable of great achievements.

Nothing really stood out in the song lyrics for supercalifragilisticexpialidocious but I thought I'd paste them in anyway:

Mary Poppins:
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

It's...
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious

All:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!

Bert:
Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad
My father gave me nose a tweak
And told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word
That saved me achin' nose

Bert, Mary Poppins and Chorus:

The biggest word I ever heard
And this is how it goes: Oh!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!

Mary Poppins:
He traveled all around the world
And everywhere he went
He'd use his word and all would say
"There goes a clever gent"

Bert:
When Dukes and maharajas
Pass the time of day with me
I say me special word and then
They ask me out to tea

Bert, Mary Poppins and Chorus:
Oh..
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!

Mary Poppins:
So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word
And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully
Or it could change your life

The Perlie:
One night I said it to me girl
And now me girl's my wife!

Apo, you are in fact a total genius.

Lets try adding them up. Maybe use Atomic Numbers to figure some thing out?
