Yknow as Rick Colson might say, all those high-energy physics guys at the CERN nuclear particle accelerator in Switzerland have got me worried. I wonder if they are trying to snooker whoever funds them, probably us. First they tried to run an experiment that overloaded the fuses and they were shut down for 2 years. Thats after it took 10 years to build that 24-mile ring of magnets or however many miles it is, Im too lazy to look. Bear in mind that to run an experiment takes months to prepare and is done and over with in 1/1 gigagalillionth of a nanosecond after they fire the thing, which burns more electricity than it would take to get to Beta Centauri and back. I hope youll think about this, you intelleckts out there. So when they tried to find a God Particle they fired off the damn Large Hardon Super Colander and they thought maybe they found one but they werent sure. THEY WERENT SURE?????!!!!!! But they drank champagne anyway. So now they think they may have more of a clue about how to think about how to have a clue as to what antimatter is and if we make some, will we all die in a biblical gazuntah? Cataclysm-wise. I am not worried about that. But I AM worried whether or not this is really like some bogus religion (e.g. Christianity) and were being taken for a ride, physics theory-wise. Cheryl Cooper and I were at the Bevatron Nuclear Accelerator in Berkeley when they fired off a man-made cosmic ray experiment in the 1970s. They made the first cosmic rays that were not cosmic in origin. So lights flash and sirens go off and we had 20 seconds to get our asses into the control room. Then this sepulchural voice over the loudspeakers says ACCELERATING BEAM and sounds bored. So I can just imagine them doing that at CERN and then looking very concerned about Gods particle while they guzzle. I mean this is cheap stuff like at an El Zilcheria gallery opening. In the official logbook of the good ship Bevatron, they pasted the label from a bottle of champagne that day. Burp.
