Hadron Collider - String Theory

This got some interest in the thread about fatty chicken fast food...... go figure!

So here's the link. It's only short, but signs of some pretty interesting shit going on. Man.

finally we'll have the answer to the how long is a piece of string question.

In which dimension? But first they have to determine how many dimensions there are and if the same piece of string passes through them all.

It's all really fascinating mind boggling stuff. I think part of what they are looking for is, when they smash the atoms together they can track the pieces and expect to see where they all go. If some pieces are missing they are assumed to have gone to another dimension!

I'll be happy to know how long each piece is between each dimension. Then we can add the lengths together as we go

Assume makes an ass out of u and me. But I guess this is where the real work starts, finding ways to prove where they went and track them to the other dimensions

So where's the fatty chicken fast food?

I saw something on Discovery a few weeks ago saying 'String Theory' had been superceded by 'Superstring Theory' and then 'M Theory' with 11 or 12 different dimensions or summat. Unfortunately, my brain can't understand 12 dimensions

Also, they talked about Black Holes but I can't remember what they said. I recall it being interesting though

threads / strings same thing aren't they? so if you pop through the dimensions to the other thread you will find the chicken.

Oh man, I just remembered my toes! I should be good up to 20 now. Thanks

That wasn't funny at all! I'm not going to watch Big Bang Theory anymore!

Oh - I know how to make shit stringy.

you realise your dog could be opening doors to other dimensions... intentionally or not, I dunno... it's been a while since I spoke dog

They're going to use Double Downs in the LHC instead of Lead atoms because the Double Down is denser.

Wait until he figures out he can count to 21 .....
