# In situations like the Vietnam war, and violent inner city neighborhoods, the person with the most plans, prospects, and hopes will die. # A dying person's last words will always be coherent and significant. # A good person will always die in the presence of friends. # If a good person dies with his eyes open, a friend will close them, and they will remain closed. If a villain dies with his eyes open, no one will close them, and the camera will linger on his face. The above from a long long list of movie cliches that Graham Parker pointed me to here. Quite a nice text. * Reeling, we cross to a similar chamber called the Compact Muon Solenoid. It is here that the famous "God Particle" may emerge. And it is here that they really mug me with concepts. They try to soften the blow by claiming that physicists find it difficult to visualise extra dimensions too. That's easy to say when you're packing 26 of them. They've got the maths. They can pull down extra dimensions whenever they want their equations to balance. You just have to accept them. That makes you vulnerable. Your rationality dissolves. Also liked this account, full text here, from Chris Morris about visiting the Large Hadron Collider at Cern in Switzerland. Permalink |
