Komplexe Moleküle, die bei der Atmung von Pflanzen ausgestoßen werden, können die Wolkenbildung und damit die Temperaturen deutlich stärker beeinflussen als bisher angenommen. Sie wirken ähnlich wie bei der Verbrennung fossiler Brennstoffe produzierten Aerosole.

To synthesize in definition is create something chemically. This means that if out of 118 elements, 20 of those are man-made via a nuclear reactor and/or a particle accelerator. These elements are unstable because they are built upon fusing an Atom's nucleus with more proton's than it may usually have which causes the stability to become dangerously chaotic as it is not natural for the element. This is the building block for the Atomic Bombs creation.

This use of the word "Particles" reads as a signal toward language (or style, maybe) as an almost scientific process, as if she's syncing up language with the ongoing conversations in the burgeoning field of natural philosophy.

'The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 was awarded jointly to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider"'

And, although the Standard Model may not be written in stone, the compact description certainly is: https://home.cern/cern-people/updates/2013/03/standard-model-set-stone

Indeed! See another Quantum Diaries post on it: http://www.quantumdiaries.org/2011/06/26/cern-mug-summarizes-standard-model-but-is-off-by-a-factor-of-2/

But you'll have to talk with John Ellis) about that: http://cds.cern.ch/record/1071200?ln=en

OH MY GOD YES! <3

The term "decay" when applied to non-macro phenomena is terribly misleading for anyone who isn't a physicist.

"Decay" has several meanings (see the Wikipedia page), but it would not be foolish to assume that the term is commonly associated with things like decomposition or biological decays. Even in physics, an orbital decay is a gradual process.

"Transformation" is much more applicable, and is a term I've used myself over the last few years instead of "decay" in this context.

Look at "Four-vectors": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-vector

Or is it that all particles that interact with the BEH field have mass? ;)

Typically, though, the matter particles (fermions) are grouped into two, depending on whether they interact with the colour charge (quarks) or not (leptons, which include both the electrically charged leptons and neutrinos).

However, the division into three groups, as shown here, is helpful!

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of human energy treatment on the crystalline, powder & atomic characteristics of Zirconia and Silica powders.
