make sure you tell the kids about the change.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I should get sucked into the Large Hadron Collider before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Wait...This might be better.
the page I'm linking wrote:Starting sometime in the coming months, two beams of particles will race in opposite directions around the tunnel, which forms an underground ring 17 miles in circumference. The particles will be guided by more than a thousand cylindrical, supercooled magnets, linked like sausages. At four locations the beams will converge, sending the particles crashing into each other at nearly the speed of light. If all goes right, matter will be transformed by the violent collisions into wads of energy, which will in turn condense back into various intriguing types of particles, some of them never seen before. That’s the essence of experimental particle physics: You smash stuff together and see what other stuff comes out.

i like, i'll try it.emmline wrote:No...it's just not right.
Try this:
My alpha-waves I can't deny,
May all my 'lectrons orbit nigh,
(ok...gets a little awkward here...)
If I should get sucked into the Large Hadron Collider before I wake,
The dude who plotted that event horizon made a BIG mistake.

Just to be needlessly anal, alpha waves are during wake, and then it shifts to theta and delta waves during sleep.emmline wrote:No...it's just not right.

Am I the only one that keeps reading this as the Large Hardon Collider?

Please, insert whichever of those terms--theta or delta--you find the most poetic.
On the other hand--wouldn't it be the alpha waves setting in which tell us to go to bed? Does it work from that standpoint? I am always happy to stand corrected.
