Virtual Barber Shop

November 15, 2008 - 1 Comment

So I was browsing around Youtube today and I happened to come across something pretty cool.  It’s called the Virtual Barber Shop.  There’s no video, it’s only audio.  But, it’s really high quality audio.  (It’s best to use headphones when listening, adds to the effect.)

You guys remember the Large Hydron Collider (LHC), right?  It’s that big ol’ machine in Geneva that everyone thinks is going to create black holes and end the world.
Anyway, lookie what I found.  Apparently, the scientists at CERN set up a webcam for us to view all the particles being beamed around the tubes.  Check it out here.

Well, while I’m talking about the LHC (again), might as well mention something …

But guess what? Everything went a-ok and the LHC …

Does The World End Tomorrow?…

August 8, 2008 - 28 Comments

I first heard about this in my Physics class last year, but I didn’t recall the date it was going to happen until I saw it in a forum topic today.  Basically, some people believe the world might be destroyed tomorrow…
The basic gist of it is this.  CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) is going to flip the switch on one of the newest and most advanced particle colliders ever built tomorrow in Geneva, Switzerland.  The Large Hadron Collider …
