- Okay, my curiosity is piqued: what's a Pop III star remnant? After a
- star pops 3 times all that's left is remnants? :-)
-
- Photinos don't sound dull to me, unless like all superpartners they are
- designed to be utterly indetectible.
-
- I have a theory that everyone here on usenet has a superpartner: an evil
- twin that looks just like them but is 1000 times heavier. The reason
- why nobody has ever seen one of these superpartners is that they never
- make their appointments. :-)
