Hahahahahah... "Strange" is simply one of the characteristics of quarks. Many of these were inspired by Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and other stories; fanciful attributes like "beauty", "charm", "top", "bottom"... The wording in this story is intended to scare the bejeezus out of folks. I would wager that it even worries the aliens on Titan that were ready to invade the earth; see the story elsewhere in the paper. Can you imagine the best and brightest brains on the planet involved in the design, funding, and development of this project over twenty years, and then someone popping up with this notion as an "oh, by the way" AFTER the first test has been run? There is so much literature on subatomic particle manipulations that you could be buried in it and even dedicated archaeologists couldn't find you. And, the "discoveries" such as "strangelets" and "black holes", are contained in the math, not hidden by secret societies. Incidentally, for an excellent yarn on a black hole loose in the Earth, read "The Crone Experiment". But understand that a tiny black hole would evaporate from Hawking radiation before doing any harm. In the meantime, I wouldn't sweat this too much<g>. Level Head
