xkcd: 'turn-on'
Today, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN was turned on!
How exciting!
Despite the dire predictions of ‘generating black holes which will end our Universe’ – predictions which were accompanied by death threats, something most physicists are not used to and unexplicably find mildly funny – things would appear to have gone relatively well! I guess science’s search for interactions between Truth and Beauty continues! (Well, at least scientists expect to see SUperSYmmetry (SUSY) ).
From today’s xkcd (above) and the ‘Scott Adams Blog’ which gives advice to all the bosons our there on ‘Nerdy pick-up lines’, it seems that events like these would appear to open up the horizons to an increase in puns among certain demographics….
Currieous!
P.S. – special mention to the person who can find all the puns in this post….there may be a few.

WordPress – the website which hosts this blog – has options for blogs to be written in a multitude of languages. Once a person gets a blog, they can go to their ‘write’ section, and on the right side, there will be ‘settings’. In here, one can select from MANY languages (and their appropriate alphabets).
If your question was if MY blog comes in other languages, then I am sorry, it does not. I do not know of any ‘translating’ function which would take the English text and display a translated version, but if I find it, I will post it.
I only post comments I receive in English….to keep them accessible to most readers.
What language(s) are you interested in?

Kudos, XKCD. That’s a pretty good pick-up line. I think I’ll try that one tonight!

[…] is an exciting bit of news from the Fermilab’s old (and therefore not as sexy as the new Large Hadron Collider) Tevatron particle accelerator. Apparently, some rather unusual muons have been detected – ones […]
