As Tyrant for Life at Occam’s Typewriter <\/a> one of my responsibilities is to keep an eye on the goings-on over at our outpost in the Gamma Quadrant<\/a>. So it was that on Thursday lunchtime that I was catching up on the comment thread of Stephen’s latest post<\/a>.

Standard Model<\/h2>\n

When a proton
