Hurrah for appropriate icons! *pats Rodney and Sam* Fictional physicists FTW.
So, you guys have probably heard all about this via the news and internetz, but I still thought it was totally cool. The
Large Hadron Collider started up today, and my Physics teacher was geeking out about it. Heck, I was geeking out about it. I might not know much more than the fundamentals of physics yet, and particle physics is a different language entirely to me, but I think it's just so insanely cool. I mean, it's explaining why the universe works the way it does. You can't get much more awesome than that.
Also, have a video (which once again, you've probably seem already, but oh well) of CERN scientists rapping about the LHC. They make me very happy. ^__^
