It this new mole that appeared on my back cancerous?
Am I weird because I bop along to the LHC rap song?
And if the LHC does not find a Higgs-Boson what is next?

I can't for the life of me think of the name of that law that is broken by the Trinity.
Is it the Law of Non-contradiction, or what?
It breaks the definition of equality (namely, it violates the reflexive property, "A=B=C, but A=/=C"), so yea, I'd say Non-Contradiction.

Depends on how you define the terms, but it's a solid. It's an urban legend that it's a just very viscous liquid, and some people even point to medieval glass that bulges at the bottom. Truth is, that was just the style at the time.

Maybe we need to make an Ask A Philosopher thread? Not sure how this applies to physicists so much, although it's not that we don't come up against philosophy occasionally.
Although surely to invoke that law, we would need to be able to fully explain what the trinity is? Just because we can't explain something doesn't mean that non-contradiction is involved per se.

Get it checked; hell no; a major shakeup, somewhat akin to when quantum mechanics came along in the 20's.

It's an amorphous solid. Old glass appears thicker at one end because old glassmaking techniques often involved spinning it, essentially.

Urban legend is... urban . You made me doubt myself, so I invoke the mighty powers of the Straight Dope. Who weren't too helpful. But thesesources were .
Basically, it's an amorphous solid, in that it has no well-defined melting point. It's molecules are arranged as if they were liquid, but they don't move, like a solid. So it's a solidy liquidy blur.
For all intents and purposes, though, it's a solid. It's hard and shatters when I hit it.

Why did I make you doubt yourself? We arrived at the same answer :p
