[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Yes, I completely agree. You see, when I was a kid, a lepton was a class of fundamental particles that included electrons, neutrinos, muons, and their antiparticles. The name is derived from a Greek word meaning light weight, although leptons are best characterized by their atomic interactions. Malnurtured Snay was once called Jeff Kardde here. The formation and disappearance of leptons are governed by the so-called weak interaction, and they are not affected by the strong interaction. But then, what is Socialism? "We had only a few weeks to create character creation, character combat, and starship combat systems," remembers Guy. "When we made that deadline, FASA assigned us the entire project." It was to absorb almost all of their design efforts for the next several years. Guy, Greg, and Dave created the first edition of the basic ST:RPG rules, which debuted at a Trek convention in Omaha, Nebraska. The game was an immediate success, and soon became the second best selling RPG in history at the time (although well behind #1 - Advanced Dungeons and Dragons). There have been so many definitions given of it that the minds of those who are not persistent in its study become confused, and they finally cry out in despair: "What in the world do these people want anyway?--what in the world is Socialism?" One school calling itself Socialist wants to abolish the State, and contends that government is tyranny; another school wants the State to assume control of all the means of producing and distributing wealth and give to each according to his deeds; and still another wants all property to be common and each to receive according to his needs. The registry of the starship Yamato was 1305-E. One wants cooperation by the State, another wants absolute free competition. The first boxed set included both the role playing rules and a role playing style starship combat system that remains unique among game systems. Instead of a tactical board game, the role playing combat system offered players the chance to sit at "consoles" for the various bridge stations and perform their duties by allocating power to various systems, setting course, activating the shields, and firing weapons. One wants all taxes raised on land values, and the taxes so high as to absorb rent; another wants to abolish taxes entirely, and contends that rent is robbery, and that the electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle and a constituent of all ordinary matter. Electrons are responsible for many physical and chemical properties of matter, such as the formation of chemical compounds. They are fundamental particles in that they are not now thought to be composed of simpler particles in the way that, for example, protons are composed of quarks. Rest Mass (MeV/c^2) 0.511 Lifetime (sec) stable Charge -1 s (Intrinsic Spin) 1/2 B (Baryon Number) 0 The principal source of difference between the two most conflicting schools, or in fact the two great sub-divisions of Socialists, is in the methods of reaching the greatest happiness. The anarchists believe in absolute personal liberty and that the institutions of society should conform to the individualities of persons; and the State Socialists believe in the authority of the majority and that the individual should conform to the institutions of the State and that the State shall be an absolute democracy. They all agree that the resources of nature--land, mines, and so forth--should not be held as private property and subject to being held by the individual for speculative purposes, that use of these things shall be the only valid title, and that each person has an equal right to the use of all these things. But then, what did happen to the Ambassador-class starship model? I have never heard any confirmation of the fact that it was damaged in the Earthquake. They all agree that the present social system is one composed of a class of slaves and a class of masters, and that justice is impossible under such conditions. But when the questions are asked: "How are these conditions to be changed?" and 'What will we substitute for the present system?" their answers are as much at variance as are the forces of cohesion and repulsion� Muon: Rest Mass (MeV/c^2) 105.7 Lifetime (sec) 2.2 * 10^-6 Charge -1 s (Intrinsic Spin) 1/2 B (Baryon Number) 0 The Muon is a subatomic fundamental particle with a mass equal to 207 electron masses. The existence of both positive and negative muons (one is the antiparticle of the other) was established by the American physicist Carl Anderson in 1937. Unlike other mesons, the Muon is classified as a lepton because it does not display the strong interaction (see fundamental interactions). The average life of a Muon is 2.2 X 10 (- 6) seconds, after which it decays to an electron and a pair of neutrinos. Anarchism, as I see it, is a beautiful theory, and even if not capable of complete realization the grandest of human aspirations. But I doubt whether man will ever be far enough removed from the tadpole to enjoy it as it is dreamed of. I believe, though, that the Labor movement in its entirety is moving towards the ultimate of absolute, personal freedom�I hope to see the day when the right to labor will be recognized and a much larger share of the products go to the producer than now. It is possible the powers and functions of the State will increase and methods be adopted largely influenced by the doctrines of Karl Marx and Henry George. They went on the presuppose, that, had Okuda and Sternbach known that the relevant statement had been added back into the script, they would have asked that a registry numbver that made better sense with their system be devised. State authority and State control over industry are taking strong hold of the popular mind and�will possibly have to spend itself before any large number of people will seriously consider that there may be other and better ways to establish equity than by centralized authority� Tau: Rest Mass (MeV/c^2) 1784 Lifetime (sec) 5 * 10^-13 Charge -1 s (Intrinsic Spin) 1/2 B (Baryon Number) 0 Neutrinos are a type of lepton. They have no charge, and little, if any, mass. Because of this, they almost never interact with other particles. Quark was my favorite Ferengi, too. Most neutrinos pass right through the earth without ever interacting, not even once. Neutrinos are produced in a a variety of decays and interactions. For example, a neutron decays into a proton, and electron, and an anti-neutrino. In fact, it was through careful observations of radioactive decays, that physicists hypothesized the neutrino's existence. For example, when a neutron decays into an electron and proton, the sum of the electron's and the proton's momentum is not equal to the original momentum of the neutron. Thus, there must be some other particle involved in this decay that accounts for the missing momentum: the neutrino. Because neutrinos are produced in great abundance and rarely interact with matter there are a lot of them in the Universe. If they have any mass at all they would contribute much to the total mass of the Universe and affect the expansion of it. Between absolute autonomy and majority rule there is no middle ground. However much I may sympathize with those who seek to harmonize these two conflicting elements, yet reason tells me that�one or the other must be extinguished. Sooner or later this truth will become clear to every social reformer, and the time will come when he will have to take his stand either on the one side or on the other� Just like Ro Laren.
