thoughts in chaos

naughty, naughty black holes

according to two scientists, cern is up to a cosmic blowjob - i.e., to do an experience with its brand new large hadron collider, where the high-speed protons can create a black hole that could swallow the earth whole. of course, cern's scientists do not want to do such a thing (or so they say); they just want to simulate the big bang and get some clues about the origins of the universe.

and yet we all know the stereotype around the relationship between scientists and sex - or the lack of relationship. so i don't think they would miss the chance to recreate another kind of bing bang, if you know what i mean.

and by the way, i really like how "cosmic blowjob" sounds.

[note: some months ago i had the privilege of attending to a conference with one of cern's scientists. the guy did one hell of a presentation, explaining many interesting aspects of particle physics and the work they do around it with particle accelerators and other toys alike. the funny thing: the large hadron collider is build underground, in a wide structure of conducts and pipes. the site has some of the most advanced technologies that exist in the entire world - and yet they use bikes (yes, bikes) to move through the tunnels. as the guy said, "sometimes the most simple ideas are the best. definetely.]

recent chaos:

  • endlessly
  • on blindness
  • a bliss and a curse
  • out of control
  • downfall
  • lie
  • whole
  • anew
  • change
  • inevitably wrong
