...have a new theory regarding the Large Hadron Collider—and contrary to your initial suspicions, it has less to do with particles and more to do with destiny. According to renowned scientists Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Masao Ninomiya, of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, perhaps free will is not as scientifically sound a concept as our modern philosophy so makes...
...would write off the event as a freak accident, two esteemed physicists have formulated a theory that suggests an alternative explanation: perhaps a time-traveling bird was sent from the future to sabotage the experiment. Bech Nielsen of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto, Japan, have published several papers over the past year arguing that the CERN experiment may be the latest in a series of physics research projects whose purposes are so unacceptable to the universe that they are doomed to fail, subverted by the future...
...Asian music scene. Audiences in the region are demonstrably drawn to fetching violinists who can play the moldies?as long as compositions are laced with contemporary hooks, dance beats, and the occasional hip thrust. Record labels are busy marketing other young fiddler-cum-vamp acts such as Diana Yukawa of the U.K., American Hilary Hahn and Akiko Suwanai of Japan...
...when the grandmother died in 1998, Bayly and her daughters called in the lawyers. They say JAL representatives told them to sue the Yukawa family instead. (Yukawa's wife and sons got $750,000 from JAL and Boeing.) JAL said that the daughters were ineligible because they were illegitimate. The family submitted DNA samples and in March 2000 received a declaration of paternity in British courts. JAL then offered about $80,000. Meanwhile, Diana shot to musical fame. In late July, JAL offered about $200,000. Bayly and her daughters rejected it. "We are not asking for much," says Bayly...
...family wants JAL and Boeing to pay up. (Boeing had admitted liability for a faulty repair job and paid 80% of the earlier settlements.) But they admit money can't heal all wounds. At the spot on Mount Osutaka where Akihisa Yukawa's body was found, his family fusses over a makeshift memorial. Bayly leaves a cake from his favorite bakery, Diana her second CD. Says Cassie: "Nothing can ever truly compensate us for having to grow up without...
