Atom Smasher Turned on Today!



The huge Large Hadron Collider was turned on this morning in Switzerland, and will be smashing subatomic particles together with mindblowing force next month. This sucker is so powerful, it takes a month to rev up. People are afraid of black holes, and have protested the machine, since they think it'll blow us into oblivion. As long as this technology doesn't make for more retarded weaponry to carry out mass murder like the atomic bomb, I'm cool. I'm actually not "cool"--I'm really excited to see what they find!

I wonder if we can expect really weird things to start happening in the next few months. Evidences of other dimensions and shit like that. Wow. I think it's fascinating and beyond exciting! I wonder if they'll get evidence to scientifically prove string theory. I'm on the edge of my seat! Totes neat! I kinda feel like a kid at Christmas, and these other dimensions are Santa Clause. But real.

Hahaha! I went from, "Oh, neat!" to "Well, this will be boring" to "What's that red light all about?" to "Hahaha!"

Thanks, Jen!
