The Little Big Bang

Oops
How sad is it that my understanding of the particle accelerator is primarily due to having read Angels and Demons, which I didn't really like because I'd read it before when it was called The DaVinci Code. But I was reading the article and I was all, "Oh, yeah, that's what the girl's adopted father who was a scientist and priest did and he created antimatter."

And I don't know to be amused or scared by the black hole creation stuff. At first I was amused, but then one of the scientists was all, "Oh, well if one gets made, it will be so small that it will just close up again. It won't have any gravitational pull or anything." But what he didn't say was that it's impossible, so now I'm going to have nightmares of being swallowed up by rogue black holes that just appear in random places, like my office for example. Where first I lose a few paperclips to the black hole, but then it's my phone, and then my computer, and then me.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that just in case we all get swallowed up in a black hole soon, I love you guys, and it's been fun.

We love you too Ruth. And don't worry-- if the collider destroys the world, it'll happen so fast we won't know what hit us.
