RE: The SHiP project at CERN - a new ship to seek for invisible particles
No problem. You can only get answers if you ask questions after all ;)
You know the difference between a theoretical physicist and a practical?
If a heavy weight drops on their feet, the Theorist wonders if he should feel pain or if the weight should not be felt by his feet because it should pass through - and the Practical asks his foot if it has measured the pain and weight correctly.
Then the BOINC community comes and says "we got 2/3 results that the weight missed your feet, so stop worrying".
that's a good one :)
More seriously, these two are actually two different (but connected) fields today.
