... shouldn't have been so precise - a better cadndidate is the tau neutrino. Upper bound on the tau-neutrino mass from the previously unobserved decay mode is 157 MeV

IMHO, such a task is similar to find the boundaries & size of --> http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/b/bc/300px-Femtosecond_pulse_shapes.svg.png One would need to define the critical threshold; e.g., 70% max could be considered the boundary of the wave/particle. Paul Lowranc

BTW - For those who might harbor a lingering suspicion that many things in physics, from the basics to the complex, are not well known in 2007 - consider something as basic as the diameter and geometry of the particles of matter: electron, proton, and neutron. There is no firm agreement (or ev
