A quick one, as slumber's calling...
On September 10, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was activated. And no black hole opened up and swallowed us all.
It may surprise some of you to hear this from me, but there's a small part of me that's sad that there was no black hole. Truly.
I mean, what a way to go: activating an underground machine in the noblest of pursuits--to understand the universe--which in turn boomerangs humanity's collective ass and throws us all a quantum middle finger on the way out.
Instead, maybe we're just a stride closer to discovering the shape of reality.
Which I'm hoping really is a theoretical snowflake existing in 196,833 dimensional space.
