This is a Michelle find. Here is what you get when science is all rapped up.
I could have put this in humor, but hey, to much good info...
Ha! Thought you would get me on bad spelling, didn't you?

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Understanding neither particle physiscs nor Wrap music, I dunno. But I eagerly await the results from the Large Hadron Collider experiments nevertheless.

Not me. I want to be at work spending my last moments doing something completely stupid and meaningless. |

But there's still a chance, you say? That's why I buy lotter tickets. |

You guys are killin me.... 
If the LHC can make a black hole..... then the solar wind should have made billions of them in our atmosphere already, as those collisions are more energetic than what the LHC will be able to do.
LHC will give us some spectaular results (one way or another).

No, but with the fuzz we have around here, it's a good idea.

Click that at your own risk. At first I thought he was poking fun at the retards who fear the LHC... by midway through I realized he wasn't kidding... by the end I realized that I had found verlch. Or at least some one who reads (and believes) the same shit the v-man does.

Well, it's Wednesday and raining, the collider has been chilled down & fired up, and no little, bitty black holes yet. I am cautiously optimistic, or at least slightly less pessimistic than usual.
As it happens, Stephen Hawking has a $100USD bet on that there will be found no Higg's Boson, or "God particle," as it were. I'd not bet into him on the topic.
But I must remind that the only law in the whole, freakin' universe that actually means anything is Murphy's, so the findings of this magnificent experiment should be surprising at the least.
