This thread is an antimatter thread, MechanicalMethod. As such, it has no mass. It is composed entirely of pure energy (which, incidentally, makes it perfect for fueling astonishing new ideas in TA, even without any posts). The idea of an antimatter thread is so revolutionary that many market-timing and stock-picking gurus have feared it and sought to dismiss it.
When a solid object such as a lurker with even one small particle of sense collides with this thread, the thread's abundant energy is instantly transformed into antimatter, producing heat of 10,000,000,000,000 C degrees. Under these extreme conditions, the energy set free is sufficient to generate enough antimatter to propel the thread onto the hot subjects list, even when there are no posts.
In actual fact, all SI threads produce antimatter, though not as efficiently as this thread, which is composed entirely of antimatter. Consider this fun fact: All the antiprotons produced on a certain stock-picking guru's thread over the course of one decade (including periods of semi-retirement during market crashes) would supply enough energy to light a 10-watt electric bulb for 1.002 seconds! |
