  • Garren denied the accusation back in May, telling police they, "didn't have any evidence against him," according to a report filed in Cowlitz County Superior Court.
  • But then Garren and Massman allegedly began using the coins at local establishments, spending them at face value, including a quarter that is estimated to be worth thousands of dollars. The Daily News reports the collection includes a variety of rare coins included Liberty Head quarters, Morgan dollars and several others dating back to the early 1800's, After police conducted their investigation, they now say the couple spend several 1930's coins at a Battle Ground area movie theater, using quarters worth between $5 and $68 each. Later on the same day, they then spend more of the coin collection at a local pizza restaurant, including a Liberty quarter with an estimated value between $1,100 and $18,500.

  • In an experiment that took 13 years to perfect1, the researchers have found that these electrons tend to destroy certain organic molecules slightly more often than they destroy their mirror images.
  • The weak nuclear force, which is involved in nuclear decay, is the only force of nature known to have a handedness preference: electrons created in the subatomic process known as β decay are always 'left-handed'. This means that their spin — a quantum property analogous to the magnetization of a bar magnet — is always opposite in direction to the electron's motion.
  • In all cases the asymmetry was tiny, but consistent, like flipping a not-quite-fair coin. “The scale of the asymmetry is as though we flip 20,000 coins again and again, and on average, 10,003 of them land on heads while 9,997 land on tails,” says Dreiling.
