thrilling!



been obsessing about this all week...

The CERN (particle collider) experiments could reveal more about “dark matter,” antimatter and possibly hidden dimensions of space and time. It could also find evidence of the hypothetical particle - the Higgs boson - which is sometimes called the “God particle” because it is believed to give mass to all other particles, and thus to matter that makes up the universe.

big news coming. eh?
even no news is big news.
so, okay, one side effect might be home-grown black holes that gobble up the earth.
maybe that's why it looks like God's Roulette Wheel.
perhaps that's exactly what it is.

whatever 'the actual' is will certainly have the house percentage.
but it was ever thus. and the pursuit of knowledge ever a gamble - though perhaps not quite so clearly. (though if these guys know how to keep a 17mile tunnel clean enough observe the pure behavior of isolated protons (which run around the length of it in 90 microseconds) then they surely know just a bit more about it than those of us (admit it!) who can't even navigate their Blackberries.

might as well watch the report (in arabic??) http://www.mypopkorn.com/news/international/big-bang-experiment-starts-in-geneva.html?show=MTM3ODY= whose only understandable words are 'scientific experiment'. that's all i understand anyway - except that

"Truth is Beauty, Beauty - Truth. That's all you know on earth and all you need know."

one way or another we will see more of It/both. soon.
God help us.
