I loved Brian Cox in "Rob Roy" and his Hannibal Lecktor was very subtly portrayed and a lot scarier than the later one by Anthony Hopkins.

Any black hole we create in a laboratory will be so small that it evaporates in nanoseconds.

don't even get me started, dude. Adaptation? handpicked by McKee to play himself?

absolutely! unless we're wrong, of course.

in which case, we'd never even realize it anyway. much better than if we had been equally wrong about the first nuclear detonation, and torching a hole in our atmosphere.
so, yeah. i'll take that bet. light 'em up.

I know they pay attention to not creating any forces or situations which exceed those that have ever naturally existed.

second that on the haircut. My instincts are to say this fella is a cutie.. but I keep wondering.. cheek implants?

In any case, why is everyone so worried about this collider experiment?

particles don't exist though so not so strange that the equation for the standard model is so convoluted. Vibrations might seem like particles but at some point we've got to think about vibrations and the harmonics of those vibrations which cause particle and mass like observations. Plus you don't need the "forces" when you think about vibrations and their harmonic influence of each other. No matter how much I search the web I don't find people talking about not needing forces as we commonly think of them and I still see mention of the particle/wave duality as if particles actually existed. Particles and forces may be a useful way of looking at larger events in physics as kind of a shorthand like we talk about cells and chemicals in biology but when you are actually talking about what the underlying nature of the universe is it seems I should at least find one reference to harmonics instead of forces.
