me every morning: the search for sock
Hi, I’m here now. A friend convinced me to start so lets see how bad I fail XD
These are the photos I took of the 31-1-18 super-moon from my telescope. It was horribly cold but utterly worth it
What's your opinion of the Multiverse Theory? Conceptually, it's simultaneously terrifying and glorious in my opinion. On another note, do you watch How the Universe Works?
It is a surprising thing, though I believe we are far from knowing it scientifically. For lack of techniques or technology to prove the existence or not of the multiverse, this creates two sides of the same coin, on the one hand we can sitar science and the other on fantasy, spiritism, or science fiction. For example, string theory says that we would have more dimensions in which we already know. But honestly… as my blog is related to science, I think it best I do not present my opinion here… I just think skepticism can blind you sometimes. And on the second question, yes, I’ve already watched. Sorry if I did not answer your question in the right way.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider, the most complex experimental facility ever built, and the largest single machine in the world. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries, as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. It lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the France–Switzerland border near Geneva.
The aim of the LHC is to allow physicists to test the predictions of different theories of particle physics, including measuring the properties of the Higgs boson and searching for the large family of new particles predicted by supersymmetric theories, as well as other unsolved questions of physics.
All the controls for the accelerator, its services and technical infrastructure are housed under one roof at the CERN Control Centre. From here, the beams inside the LHC are made to collide at four locations around the accelerator ring, corresponding to the positions of four particle detectors – ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LHCb.

Tried to look at stars through my window however couldn't see anything I blame British weather, while my neighbour hid in my bed because it was cold
meanwhile, in Facebook’s PR department
I enjoy telescopes too much for my own good. (PS. my header is fireworks because nothing else fits yet)
