Longtime search uncovers evidence of key element in big bang theory Batavia 111. A the big bang theory is intact along with the universe As physicists know it. Scientists say a 17-year search has yielded evidence of the existence of the top quark a Basic building Block of nature without which the big bang theory and scientists understanding of time and matter would fall apart. A team of 440 researchers from around the world has been trying to find the top quark at the . Energy departments Fermi National Laboratory in Batavia outside Chicago using the worlds most powerful particle accelerators. The breakthrough was reported tuesday. A a we re not claiming discovery but its the first direct evidence of the top quark a said physicist William Carith ers or. The Quot evidence a is too Large to ignore but too Small to cry a Eureka a a the team Hopes that 12 to 18 More months of accelerator experiments will prove the top quark exists. The top quark is one of six kinds of quarks believed to make up protons and neutrons inside atoms. Over the years five quarks have been discovered. The top quark is less than one trillionth the thickness of a human hair and it exists for Only a trillionth of a trillionth of a second said physicist Michael Riordan at the Stanford linear accelerator Center in California. Scientists have built three decades of understanding of How atoms work a the so called Standard Model a on the theory that the top quark exists. A a if the theory is wrong then the whole theory of the big bang does no to work a said Alvin Tollestrup a physicist at the lab. The big bang theory states that the universe began with an enormous explosion billions of years ago. Physicist Alan Weinstein at the California Institute of technology described the labs work As a a Beautiful and important  scientists did no to actually see the top quark but found evidence that it exists from patterns created by experiments in the labs four mile underground circular supercollider. Scientists used an electronic Field to accelerate larger particles to nearly the Speed of Light then made them collide. The collisions produced miniature Energy bursts like the big bang. The bursts appeared to yield a quark that was heavier than the colliding particles. _ a a it Sas if two Tennis balls collided and a Bowling Ball flew out a lab spokeswoman Judy Jackson said. The first signs of the top quark came last june but it took months to Analyse and test the results Jackson said. The Odds Are 1 in 400 that the evidence has been misinterpreted said the labs director John Peoples. Lab researchers said the top quark was hard to find because of its tremendous mass a 35 times heavier than the fifth quark. The More massive a subatomic particle the More Energy is required to produce it and the More difficult it is to find. Evidence of the top quark now opens a vast new area of exploration within the atom scientists say. A this is not the end of a Story a Carithers said. A a it a the beginning of a new Field of  Clinton whittling list for High court Washington a president Cantony list of supreme court candidates to replace retiring Justice Harry Blackmun has shrunk to about six and could be Down to one within the next week aides say. He met tuesday night with a special team of advisers to discuss the pared Down list which one White House official said included judges Jose Cabranes of Connecticut Richard Arnold of Arkansas and Amalya Kearse of new York. And solicitor general Drew s. Days Iii. But aides cautioned that Clinton a list which had 12 names a week ago is always in flux because the president tends to add and subtract prospects until the last minute. A a a a a a a a a a a a a a a and officials keep hinting that Clinton May be pondering someone whose name has not been leaked to the press perhaps a widely known politician. Clinton a first Choice for the scat Senate majority Leader George Mitchell a Maine declined the offer.

Gary Bryan and j. Paul Emerson made the remarks March 23. According to the Gay and lesbian Alliance against defamation a a Media watchdog group that monitors alleged Bias against Gays and lesbians in the Media a the team has made other anti Gay comments As Well y the aides both of whom Are familiar with the process spoke on condition of anonymity. The first official said the president was not expected to Settle on a candidate this week and a May slip beyond next  aides say Clinton has not interviewed any candidates but the first one on one session could take place soon. Several names have been mentioned for the vacancy including judges Stephen Breyer of Boston Judith Kaye of new York Patricia Wald of Washington Gilbert Merritt of Nashville Tenn. And Stephanie Seymour of Tulsa okla. But it was unclear whether they made a the Cut. A  a a a a a a a a a a a.

Aides said Cutler is moving the process along surprisingly quickly. Stung by leaks during the search that resulted in Ruth Bader Ginsburg a nomination the White House has said Little about the latest search.
