I'm no computer wizard but this seems significant.

Proton beam to the head? Yup, that's happened.

Just watched the first episode of the Billy Nye Netflix thing. Good message, I guess, but it wasnt a very entertaining watch.

Heard about the Aquatic Ape theory the other day. That was a pretty fascinating rabbit hole to fall into.

I'll lead with a biggie. The news about the confirmation of the Higgs boson is unreal. CERN has been a smashing success (pun intended). This has to be Nobel worthy and should change the universe we live in.

http://news.yahoo.com/closer-look-higgs ... 27722.html
When optical microscope was invented science thought the cell is the smallest thing universe does. Then the electron microscope came around and the science thought the atom is the smallest thg universe does. Now CERN thinks the Higgs boson is....
I think that the mainstream science should finally focus on patterns of matter creation rather then progressivelly smaller and smaller particles. Unified field physics is well ahead of this as for theory and as for practical aplications and tech. Check out e.g. resonance.is
May the vacuum be with You.

Interesting read, although I am not using my NucE degree, it's good to get those brain juices again.

Was out for a walk a bit ago, lots of stars and a crescent moon setting, and had one or two strands of Musk’s Starlink satellites pass right over head. Had no idea what I was seeing. Thought it was the tail end of a comet at first, or I was hoping aliens. A very cool sight.

Just watched a NOVA program on the 1927 Solvay Conference on Physics and the amount of genius at that conference was astounding... More than half won a Nobel prize. Would love to have been a fly on the wall for the discussions. This is where Einstein and Bohr argue quantum mechanics and quantum entanglement or as Einstein put it "spooky action at a distance".
