heh-heh-heh, Colin said superliminal...

superliminal: stimuli which are so obvious that we don't notice them. When we watch a sailboat on a fine day we know that the sea and the sky and the sunlight are there, but we are watching the sailboat.

Yeah, jeez, supraliminal. You guys seem to be entirely too interested in my hadron.

What do you think all those restroom photos are REALLY about? Huh? Tricks w/ mirrors and chromesque chiarascuro?

Show us the Big One! Wiggle the Big Ol'!!!

Late to the party again.

Just wanted to say that Helium makes me sound like Donald Duck, which is especially amusing when making Scarface quotes.

Thus IF LHC = more helium THEN i approve!

When Hadrons Collide...

The Race Heats Up.

"Tevatron accelerator".

I'm sorry, but I can't help imagining something involving sandals.

Ooh ooh ooh, it's back! In sandals! I want an orbital hadron collider. That oughta reveal some mysteries of this (and maybe a few other) universes.

When Sandals Collide

The Race Heats Up.

Eventually someone will find or won't find Higgs particles. What disturbs me is that they take for certain that they'll find it... (and nothing else).

Ah well, it's time we released Jor-El's nemeses from the Null Zone.

This is the kind of frontier research. They can find the particles they're looking for. They can find other particles. They can confirm theory. They can find inconsistencies in theory. Then can devise new theories.

Also they can find "God's particle" (how some people is calling it) the right way or the church way (adjusting results to theory) and write a new sacred book around it.

"So you're calling it dark matter."

"He called it yatusravaka. Allen calls it demon flesh."

So how big a portal can you open with it? And what was the problem again with some good old fashion sacrifices?

Well it depends... If theories are confirmed or dismissed then science will have an open portal for better understanding of universe.

If Fermilab gets results even before the LHC works, then LHC will be a financial black hole and the science contribution to the economy tsunami that has washed up so many jobs and opportunities.

Oh, Bigend will find a way to get it going.

So, after fizzling after just 9 days of operation, and a year of repairs to fix the problem, the LHC is scheduled to go back online this fall. In an effort to stay ahead of Fermilab the LHC is expected to run full-time through the winter, rather than taking the winter off to avoid high energy costs.

Seems the US govt isn't the only entity convinced that the best only way to fix a problem is to throw $ at it. I'm predicting the LHC will succeed in creating a black hole (financially), and that Fermilab will eventually provide far greater scientific results.

LHC back on track.
It's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine.

Can't believe this wasn't posted already: Large Hadron Rap.
