Next year, SuperKEKB will accelerate the two beams simultaneously, compress them into a smaller area than any other accelerator on Earth, then smash them together to produce copious quantities of B mesons and tau leptons — heavy particles whose decays can reveal new physics.

These models simulate the Earth's climate at scales that are generally too large to be applied with confidence to local areas, such as the watersheds of small rivers and streams.

They also fail to mention that although the incoming solar radiation only varies by a couple of Watts per square metre over a solar cycle the apparent smallness of the variation is a result of the small area subdivision and not any indication of a small total energy variation when one takes into account the number of square metres on the Earth's surface.
