LHC. If the LHC were a sports team, I would have had a foam hand and rooted for it. I used to follow the developments at CERN with their LHC project quite closely, but I’ve fallen for the most part out of any scientific inquiry since matters of love knot you into situations where you’re not allowed to think of much else. Mostly anything intellectually stimulating would have to be mathematical. It’s better to be interested and appreciate it than pretend to be ignorant of its applications and achievement of creation in society. Math is the language of the universe.
Anyway, back to the LHC. The LHC stands for Large Hadron Collider. What is a hadron? I’d tell you to look on Wikipedia or Google it, but I’m going to suppress my urge to mock your laziness (it’s more likely to be idiocy) and explain it to you.
Particle Physics is basically the study of very small things, things you can’t see. I’m pretty sure you’re familiar with the insignificant size of a particle. It’s on an elementary level of study of matter and radiation, which is in the very early stages in other words, and what happens with them when scientists try to play around with them or observe them.
A hadron is a quark-whore and is split into two factions (which can be split again to be more specific): baryons and mesons. Mesons are also bosons. The hadron is just a combination of any Superman strength subatomic particle. When scientists want a go with their curiosity about particle physics, they use an atom-smasher or particle accelerator. Particle accelerators can either be high or low-energy. The LHC is the machine we’re using.
“The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator complex intended to collide opposing beams of 7 TeV protons. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. This model is known to break down at a certain high energy level.”
TeV stands for Teraelectron Volt, one trillion electron volts. They have the Tevatron in Illinois where they accelerated protons to nearly one teraelectron volt. Our machine here is using 7. It’s been in the process of becoming operable since 1995 and of course, it’s going to be the pioneering high energy particle accelerator once it’s up and running this year.
It’s supposed to answer some big questions and give some big answers. A scientist who works there gave some pretty interesting probabilities of what they expected to find. I won’t quote them all, but I’ll tell you what those rambling ignorant idiots need to know:
Black Holes: 0.1%.
Stable Black Holes That Eat Up the Earth, Destroying All Living Organisms in the Process: 10^-25%.
God: 10^-20%
Absolutely Nothing: 3%.
What they expect to find is the Higgs Boson, a particle that’s been able to slip by the Standard Model. If they find the Higgs Boson, it’ll help explain microscopic structure (larger too), and it’ll be known as a major part of our world. I’ve been looking forward to hearing their findings for a long time. I haven’t been fascinated by particle physics, but QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) and QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) are way up in my books. Especially because QED is Richard Feynman related.
Nicomachean Ethics. Great man, great ideas, and shitty exposition. I’ve been having trouble reading The Basic Works of Aristotle. All of it is obvious to me, but I’m hoping it served as a guide once to subaverage cognitive functioning Greeks. Translation: It was basically a “Dummies” book for people who don’t know shit about how to behave or do any deep thinking. Despite its impudence, I can stand reading it for five minutes or so. Nothing too incredible anymore that you haven’t read or heard of before since we’re so modern these days. Fuck philosophy.
Smart on love. I think there’s nothing better out there to be in and nothing worse to be confused about. I think there should be clear distinctions on what people mean to you and not be shrouded by the ambiguity of them. That’s how it’s been for me for some time and I don’t recommend falling into this kind of jam. It’s totally not cool. But what do I know about love? I know nothing much and even a great sum less than others, but I’ve got quite a talent I suppose in charming women. It’s not a matter of piety when it comes to treating women or practice in persuasion, but capitalizing on your best characteristics in order to accumulate affection gradually so a logical conclusion comes to them that they must love you. As a male, you might not have the smallest hope if you’re not intelligent enough (saying in laymen’s terms now) to be what you are and presuppose an attraction will be manifested once they accept you for what you are. Confidence is always key for temptation. If you proceed like you cannot fail, you probably won’t fail. You just need to be smart about it and unfortunately that usually can’t be something that’s learned through reading or rehearsed. Ditch the self-help tapes and videos that aim to boost your self-esteem (god damn scandalous falsehoods). Growing fond of each other will help you exceedingly though in the pursuit of someone’s heart. It’ll come easier when you’re interested since you’ll be trying to not make all the dreadful mistakes you can entertain and know about the person enough to pull on their heartstrings at the right times since it’ll become an intuitive process, only making things seem more natural i.e. falling in love. I do not twirl my mustache and hatch schemes for future reference. I give information for men to be aware of such devices and make use of them if they need a partner.
