We've been Livescribe fans for a long time and were anxious to put this new pen through its paces, but, truthfully, were a bit annoyed when we discovered it will only work with Apple devices.
Zummo's dealings with Bassetti, the Grand Duke's Machiavellian private secretary, and Bassetti's chief spy, the sinister monk Stufa, are enough to convince him that, should the model be discovered, it will be his head, not the Grand Duke's, that will end up as decoration for the city's battlements.
Lawrence M. Krauss, a cosmologist at Arizona State University, put it this way: "If the Higgs is discovered, it will represent perhaps one of the greatest triumphs of the human intellect in recent memory, vindicating 50 years of the building of one of the greatest theoretical edifices in all of science, and requiring the building of the most complicated machine that has ever been built".
But if and when a new particle is discovered, it will not be clear straight away that it is the Higgs.
History shows that once oil is discovered, it will be produced.
If such a factor is discovered, it will most likely be found using animal studies.
However, even if SUSY is discovered, it will still be a long way to determine the parameters of the underlying model, which would shed light on the mechanism of SUSY breaking.
However, in the future, when the sequences of the genes encoded to the two main catabolic enzymes of Met, SAM synthase and Met γ-lyase from tobacco will be discovered, it will be worthwhile studying if their expression levels and/or activities increase during seed development in the transgenic lines.
Until it is isolated, however, or unless an isolate virulent to Stb16q is discovered, it will not be possible to tell whether it controls a gene-for-gene resistance which is effective against the current pathogen population, or is part of the plant's downstream defences and therefore may be durable.
People will discover it and people will find you.
