    girlie.. we do not measure any of those things you say... Probabilities... Energies... We just measure the shinings at the detectors in the wall. The whisps... All these things you talk about that we "measure"... It is a model... A theoretical model... I love you!

    halflife? Measured? Of an intermediate particle? We measure photons and electrons and protons and other stable particles. No one has ever measure Z W q and so on because they are intermediate particles. They end before the detector... Half life? It is a model dependent fairy tale... You are talking snowhite my beautiful girlie :3

      At no point does she make any reference to a specific particle - this is a lecture on statistics in physics, not physics itself, and she is speaking in general terms to illustrate important features about testing these models (and does a good job of it!). There is no illusion here that a model tells you everything about the world, and what she is teaching is exactly how we go through the process of challenging a model and its predictions experimentally.
      I add that she is a professional physicist, speaks knowledgeably on the subject, and you only discredit yourself by arguing in such a condescending and infantile way.

      @@aidenpeleg2789 You do realize your argument is a heap of errors in logic, don't you? The last one being Argumentum Ad Hominem. Not even once did you touch the actual objection.

      @@Kraflyn I did not “touch the actual objection” because my only point was your objection did not apply to this video and is thus not in question.
      The “ad hominem” would only be a fallacy if I were using it as a part of my “argument”, but it is just an addendum here.
      Nonetheless, I don’t want to drag out a comments war on such a nice video.
