foarte interesant….

buna seara.

esti normal?

cum poti naiba sa mai fii normal in lumea asta? intre elodia, magda ciumac si sfarsitul lumii care, by the way, va fi inghitita de o gaura neagra, vadim tudor cu ochelarii lui de psycho, oamenii nespalati, bucuresti gri si mocirlos (simply surprising city), marlani, tarani, toparlani, toape, lanturi, tatuaje cu moartea si caini, multi caini (pe care ii iubim:)). cred ca totusi astea ne-mpinge sa fim putin mai complexi. parerea mea.

apropos…

cum mi-am petrecut sfarsitul lumii…caci daca maine murim naibii (pe la 10:30 am asha) astazi ar trebui sa fie ultima zi pe pamant…

mi-am pus aceasta problema de-abia in seara asta, cand taximestristul cu care am venit spre casa m-a scos din reveria de copil tamp si actinglikehighashell si a deschis discutia despre experimentul acesta ce are sa aiba loc tomorrow(la ora 10:30, nu uitati!). cu o nonsalanta demna de un beduin, imi explica omul cum vom muri cu totii.

Eu: nu murim domn’le cu totii. Ca nu e un experiment facut pe genunchi, e gandit de 50 de ani.

El: daa, dar cine stie cum provoaca o explozie si ne-arunca pe toti in aer.

Eu: eiii ne-arunca…nu ne-arunca domn’le. acolo sunt cele mai mare genii ale fizicii, nu-s niste profesori de liceu

El: si-n elvetia? cine s-ar fi gandit doamna la Elvetia? ziceam de Franta, ca astia faceau experimente militare

Eu: domn’le, Elvetia este cea mai tare tara la experimente fizico-chimice.

El: da, dar nu de-astea militare

Eu: cine ti-a zis domn’le ca-s militare. ca sunt niste experimente in folosul stiintei. 

El: sau vor sa-i bata pe rusi.

Eu: domn’le acolo sunt si rusi. si romani sunt.

Aici l-am incuiat. Cu romanii nu te pui, domn’le, in schimb, cu elvetienii te cam faci de cacat. pardon.

collective memory, ceva?

Multibillion-dollar experiment to probe nature’s mysteries

 

(CNN) – Deep underground on the border between France and Switzerland, the world’s largest particle accelerator complex will explore the world on smaller scales than any human invention has explored before.

The collider’s ALICE experiment will look at how the universe formed by analyzing particle collisions.

The Large Hadron Collider will look at how the universe formed by analyzing particle collisions. Some have expressed fears that the project could lead to the Earth’s demise — something scientists say will not happen. Still, skeptics have filed suit to try to stop the project. 

It even has a rap dedicated to it on YouTube.

Scientists say the collider is finally ready for an attempt to circulate a beam of protons the whole way around the 17-mile tunnel. The test, which takes place Wednesday, is a major step toward seeing if the the immense experiment will provide new information about the way the universe works.

“It’s really a generation that we’ve been looking forward to this moment, and the moments that will come after it in particular,” said Bob Cousins, deputy to the scientific leader of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment, one of six experiments inside the collider complex. “September 10 is a demarcation between finishing the construction and starting to turn it on, but the excitement will only continue to grow.”

The collider consists of a particle accelerator buried more than 300 feet near Geneva, Switzerland. About $10 billion have gone into the accelerator’s construction, the particle detectors and the computers, said Katie Yurkewicz, spokewoman for CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, which is host to the collider.

In the coming months, the collider is expected to begin smashing particles into each other by sending two beams of protons around the tunnel in opposite directions. It will operate at higher energies and intensities in the next year, and the experiments could generate enough data to make a discovery by 2009, experts say. Check out the collider complex’s six detectors »

Testing the unknown

Experts say the collider has the potential to confirm theories about questions that physicists have been working on for decades including the possible existence of extra dimensions. They also hope to find a theoretical particle called the Higgs boson, which has never been detected, but would help explain why matter has mass.

The collider will recreate the conditions of less than a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, when there was a hot “soup” of tiny particles called quarks and gluons, to look at how the universe evolved, said John Harris, U.S. coordinator for ALICE, a detector specialized to analyze that question.

Since this is exploratory science, the collider may uncover surprises that contradict prevailing theories, but which are just as interesting, said Joseph Lykken, theoretical physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

“When Columbus sails west, he thought he was going to find something. He didn’t find what he thought he was going to find, but he did find something interesting,” said Lykken, who works on the Compact Muon Solenoid, one of six experiments inside the collider complex.

Why should the layperson care about this particular exploration? Years ago, when electrons were first identified, no one knew what they were good for, but they have since transformed our entire economy, said Howard Gordon, deputy research program manager for the collider’s ATLAS experiment.

“The transformative effect of this research will be to understand the world we live in much better,” said Gordon, at Brookhaven National Laboratory. “It’s important for just who we are, what we are.”

like a stooone…

astazi am discutat cu un vechi amic, renegat intr-o vreme, ocolit pe urma si uitam pana de curand, dar care se pare ca poseda acea proprietate magica care tine doar de prieteni. aceea ca nu se pierd niciodata cu adevarat.

si din vorba-n vorba, ne-am amintit de o noapte dementa cu bufnite si comete…cand irealul a trecut putin prin carnea mea si a ramas acolo, in sange, ca o dara mica de melc pe peretele unei fantani…

mi-e dor de dementa.

in reluare

cand ai incuiat usa, ai lasat fierul de calcat in priza, apa deschisa, televizorul aprins, postul postat, mailu’ trimis and so on…

si de fapt n-ai facut-o…oare de ce cateodata avem momente de mica amnezie? oare de ce naiba fugim, cand ar trebui sa traim tot.

ah da, postul de mai jos a fost postat ieri. va asigur!
