any leads on whats next for the LHC? discovering the Higgs boson was the original goal right?
everytime I read about whats going on with the LHC I wish I had spent some time at least learning the basics of particle physics. shit is tough to make sense of for a laymen.
Read something the other day about Japan and methane hydrate, pretty cool.
I wonder where we go from here?
Weāre going to have a lot of depressed physicists now that their great quest is over.
Well they still havenāt unified the 3 fundamental forces, so thereās that.
Yeeeeeaaaaah, if they could get that done before we cook our biosphere into oblivion, thatād be great.
TV news a few days ago from NASA with a press conference about the location Curiosity landed at:
āIf I was going to Mars I would want to land where Curiosity did!ā
because of all the water talk:

I didnāt realize they had so many other Rovers sitting around out there from previous landings.
You know, seeing that we have a thread to discuss real science, i was wondering why donāt we have one to laugh at the pseudo science that brings so much bullshit?
It would be too depressing, because the people who actually believe in that stuff would come out of the woodwork and weād all waste our time trying in vain to get them to accept the problems in their arguments.
You are right about that, but is not like we have faith on the intellect of the human race anyway lol
Reading statements from flat-earthers have literally make my head hurtā¦ literally.
Crazy. I dont think I could do it.
Red Rocks in one month? Fusion rocket currently in development http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2417551,00.asp
On this day in 1961, Yuri Gagarin boldly went where no one had gone before.
The prospects for manned spaceflight looked better then than they do now. Maybe a resurgence of science fiction is in order.
I have hope in the Elon Muskās of the world, but its mind boggling its been 41 years since a manned moon mission (although that much more marvelous considering how sophisticated computing has become since then)
NASA reports they are going to grab an asteroid, put it in orbit around the moon, land some astronauts on it for scientific study.
They are looking for Space Cowboys.
Just need to lasso an asteroid, bring it under control, brand it, and then put it in orbit around the moon.
Even if we solve propulsion thereās still the huge dosage of radiation that the astronauts would be exposed to en route. Astronauts in earthās orbit are already bombarded with cosmic rays and thatās with the magnetic field still shielding them. In deep space, the exposure would be exponential. Thatās the biggest problem right now.
my slide rule skills are phenomenal
my abacus is impregnable
