Quiz Qawwali #5-Trivia X
This week a set of five questions.Hoping again for a wonderful participation...
1.1.In 1964, particle physicist X discovered a sub-atomic particle which is now known as the Y. Scientists believe that the Y gives all matter it’s mass, and thus it is considered a fundamental particle.Nobel-prize winner Z coined the theistic name for the Y as ‘God particle’. X, whose name is associated with this fundamental particle, commented that, “I find it embarrassing because, though I’m not a believer myself, I think it is the kind of misuse of terminology which I think might offend some people.”X further says that, it wasn’t even Z’s choice, “He wanted to refer to it as that ‘goddamn particle’ and his editor wouldn’t let him.”Beacause of its heavy mass, the particle is very difficult to detect and it is very expensive to build a large enough collider to prove its existence.
Identify X , Y & Z...
2.
Identify the gadget shown in the picture.[Hint: See the picture within the picture]
3.The X effect is the tendency of a spellchecker to suggest inappropriate words to replace misspelled words and words not in its dictionary.The origin of the term is that the spelling "cooperation" was often changed to "X" by older spellcheckers that only contained the hyphenated form "co-operation".X Effect is then more generally applied to any failure to check that the suggested word is appropriate. A common case is "definately"["definitely"] being changed to "defiantly". Benjamin Zimmer of Thinkmap, Inc. and the University of Pennsylvania has collected many examples of similar errors, including DeMeco Ryans as "Demerol" (in the New York Times), Voldemort as "Voltmeter" (in the Denver Post) and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement as "Muttonhead Quail".
Identify X.
[Hint:X is also the headquarters of a very famous consumer electronics and software company.]
4.
Map of what?
5.
Identify the duo & tell the connect.
