For the Nerds: HIGGS BOSON! (probably)

Way cool!!! I'm sure the team from Fermilab were thrilled to have their findings validated as well.

Friends don't let friends use Comic Sans

Was just catching up on the announcements. I'm a huge physics nerd (I actually name all of my servers/computers in the house and at work after famous physicists) and read everything I can find on particle and astrophysics.

I agree!  Until Jerry Springer gets the paternity results, I don't think that the Universe is Higgs Boson's baby!

Well? So what are the names, which physicists?

Between home and office PCs and servers, I currently have: Einstein, Newton, Heisenberg, Pauli, Brahe (more of an astronomer I suppose) and Maxwell.

At various points in time I've also had Ampere, Volta, Tesla and a handful of others.

I love that name Tycho Brahe

If anyone wants to learn a bit more about physics I would suggest looking up the Richard Feyman lectures on Youtube.     He can explain physics beautifully and in layman's terms.   The man speaks eloquently. 

Physics, mathematics, and language make the world go 'round.....  

Surely you're joking!

PAULI!!!!!

I know I should exclude you, but ...

I love you, too

So. You got any former classmates who aren't hitched yet? (and preferably aren't clinically insane although I can work with that, depending ... )

So's Schroedinger.

Nobody has seen him in years. A recluse since the death of his cat.

He's also happy as can be and cuddling the cat.  We'll never know unless we open that box.

The cat is both alive and dead.  Sheesh!  (Just like I am both mean and nice err platy and pengy)

Sounds like my house. No wonder I'm a nerd.
