Q: In physics, what is the only fundemental particle with no spin?

Choices: Gluon, Quark, Higgs

A: Gluon!

PMSL!

[newmodarmy]

I think you meant fundamental

[ToraToraTora]

ah picking out typos the sure sign of an exahauseted mind! congrats dummy.

[newmodarmy]

I would expect something approaching 50% of people to get that wrong, with most unable to decide between Quark and Higgs. I wouldn't have known which of those two.

[newmodarmy]

Take a rest, you're clearly "exahauseted ".

Some would say wetting your nappy about quiz answers like this is the a sign of an exhausted mind. 

[royfromaus]

Lol...how did they get this Q wrong.😂

Ones a meat substitute sausage and the other is a Soviet Union  labour camp...therefore the answer is Higgs. 

[gingejbee]

...and there is a difference between a"typo" and not being able to spell, didn't  you know?

[ToraToraTora]

20:43 - he shoots he scores PMSL!

[ToraToraTora]

gawd it's too easy!

[ToraToraTora]

They love to get their alans in a Brahms over my TWAU posts so I thought I'd put a Q out that is not obvious! guess what hook line an sinker! PMSL sad, very sad!

[newmodarmy]

Don't believe you

[ToraToraTora]

what don't you believe?

[Buenchico]

'Higgs', per se, isn't a fundamental particle anyway; it's a 'Higgs boson'.

Further, I see no reason why the vast majority of the population should know about something which was only discovered 11 years ago.  Unlike Newmodarmy (who seems to think that 50% of the population might get that question wrong), I'd suggest that over 95% have never even heard of a Higgs boson and even those that have might well not be familiar with its properties.

Yup, they really do walk among us. 🙄

21:01....come on chris I was having a turkish I know it's really a tough question. It was irony, based on the abuse I get from real questions of this nature. I'd hoped you of all people would see what I was doing.

[ToraToraTora]

chico: "Further, I see no reason why the vast majority of the population should know about something which was only discovered 11 years ago. " - predicted in 1954 and verified 11 years ago. Most of Einstein's predictions took a long time to verify.

[Tilly2]

I thought it was a quack.🦆

[Buenchico]

I've got quark on my Morrison's shopping list. I wonder if they also sell gluon?

[Tilly2]

They do sell super glue, Chris.

[sandyRoe]

Isn't quark a word coined by the Irish writer James Joyce?

I admit it passed me by the first time. But that's me being dense and not thinking. Whoops!

I'll give you that one :)
