Well... er... I don't really know what to say to that. LOL
To be completely honest, I don't really get what 'it' is ?? A machine? It mushes protons together, was that what I read?? *leaves in confusion with the realization that all this is way over my head* lol
I'm so excited about this... I've been following the progress of the LHC in my science magazines. Perhaps I'll stay up and watch online tonight. Although they won't begin colliding for a few weeks yet, from the sounds of it. I'm holding out hope that some of the findings will eventually lead us to the discovery of an entirely new dimension. Sweet.
The report I saw this morning said it will take two weeks for it to get up to speed. I then read the first real experiment is to take place on Oct. 21st.
I have read about this. I think I wrote about this thingy too.
Anyway, there is talk that small black holes have been created by scientists. And there was some hope at the time that the black holes would be of some good size to be studied and perhaps throw some junk into. One scientists suggested his ex-wife be thrown into one of these black holes so that his support payments could be stopped. Bitter, man.
Alas, the black holes produced were tiny, perhaps only big enough for a mouse to cross the event horizon. A pest control company in Texas made inquiries into using these tiny black holes as part of their arsenal to rid the state of vermin. At this time, the scientists are not interested in selling their black hole maker to anyone. In part because they consider it dangerous in the wrong hands and also because they are having a great time flinging Cheetos into them. They can make the same sound as a bug zapper if they hit the black holes just right.
Besides, everyone knows the world is coming to an end in 2012. So say the Aztecs. So say Nostradamus. So say the watchers of the cosmo who are predicting a devastating planetary alignment.
Me, I am not worried. Since I seldom plan too much in advance I could care less. I don't even have my schedule for next week. Can't plan too much.
Hubby and I were talking about this earlier, and I mentioned that I'd probably spend the last four minutes as we all spaghetti into a black hole trying to figure out why my internet connection went dead.

You know I am not serious. :)
