\Oh?  What does current theory say about the results of accelerating a
\philosopher to 26TeV and slamming him into a brick wall target?

That would produce a negative John Woods particle with spin up and a
positive Richard Sexton particle with spin down.  The latter disintegrates
after 1.2ns into a sci.aquaria boson and a rec.aquaria lepton.
Elementary, my dear Watson.
