    I woke up this morning after dreaming about the LHC. I have no life! But I was thinking - it's really big (why isn't it the RBHC?) but they are just smashing particles together.. or so they tell us. In my dream we were putting all sorts of stuff in there. The only one I remember was Pizza. Two pizzas at near light speed .. WHAMMO .. and the cheese got into he magnets, and that was the end of that. So, in the interests of wasting a few minutes - what would you put in the LHC, and why?

          Careful now... E=MC2 This means that mass is directly proportional to the Amount of energy, which in turn ;-) means that if you slam your mother and Mr. Click once together at the spead of light you may simply end up with more of the same (or something even worse ;-))

          For some reason I get an image like something out of The Fly - a creature that's part Mr Clickonce, part his Mother. Not sure if it's the 50's style headswap, or the Goldblum style amalgam though.

          Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

                    My question is, was the Helium leak really an accident? I think not. Some guy thought it would be cool to talk like Mickey Mouse for a bit and left the valve open ...

                          Another LHC in two ways. The first time going the same way, the second going the opposite. See what happens. Do we go faster than light? Do we cancel light?

                            They're well ahead of you. They already run particles in both directions. You get asymptotically closer to the speed of light. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity-addition_formula[^]

                              You get closer to the speed of light when you're not at the speed of light. What happens when you are? Does that mean you can't scratch your nose if it itches?

                                I hear they're already planning the VLHC(Very Large Hadron Collider) for 50 years time, so that would be the RVBLHC(Really Very Big Large Hadron Collider) :o If it were up to me, I'd smash pigeons. ...or maybe 2 Higgs Bosons!

                                  *You* can't be. No object with nonzero mass can reach the speed of light (in a vacuum) without an infinite input of energy.

                                      See, that's why I can't accept it. The idea of a particle being massless is unintuitive and unacceptable to me. Everything must have a mass, no matter how small. Infinitesimally small is not massless.

                                        I woke up this morning after dreaming about the LHC. I have no life! But I was thinking - it's really big (why isn't it the RBHC?) but they are just smashing particles together.. or so they tell us. In my dream we were putting all sorts of stuff in there. The only one I remember was Pizza. Two pizzas at near light speed .. WHAMMO .. and the cheese got into he magnets, and that was the end of that. So, in the interests of wasting a few minutes - what would you put in the LHC, and why?

                                          See, that's why I can't accept it. The idea of a particle being massless is unintuitive and unacceptable to me. Everything must have a mass, no matter how small. Infinitesimally small is not massless.

                                          That's probably one of the least unintuitive things about quantum mechanics. :)

                                          I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon
