I read it, but I don't grasp it...

It's a quasi-particle that is just plain weird.

Remember graphing in math class? You had the X and Y axes (yeah, that's the correct pluralization of axis) and, if you went far enough, you added a third axis and could represent three dimensional figures (not really important except in planar geometry and when you hit the Euclidean geometry).

On that graph, one axis stood for length and the other stood for height (depending on how you used it, of course, as graphing has other purposes). That's a 2 dimensional space.

To represent the third dimension, you add the Z axis.

If there's a Z axis, this quasiparticle can't exist. It only exists in the 2D space. It only exists on the X and Y axes.

It's a bit like the moononites from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Only even weirder than they are.

Next, we need to see if the chicken or the egg came first. And also, why it crossed the road.
