No, LHC is not trying to make Blackholes! LA girls discuss LHC on the “The Hills”
Surprisingly, LHC was discussed on The Hill yesterday!
If you are American realty TV deprived, The Hills is an MTV reality television series and a spin-off of the popular MTV show Laguna Beach. It documents the lives of Lauren Conrad and her friends in Los Angeles after Conrad’s move from Laguna Beach, California.
Entertainment Weekly labeled the show a “New Classic” in its special 1000th issue and ranked it 82nd on a list of The 100 Best Shows of the Last 25 Years.
I haven’t watched The Hills ever, but considering that I live in LA, I can at least fathom the shallowness of the characters on the show.
Getting past the surreal quality of the clip, what bothered me even more was the description of LHC as a place to make blackholes!
It was bad enough that people were (wrongly) worried about accidental production of blackholes that would destroy the earth, but now person on the street has started to believe that the whole purpose of LHC is to make blackholes!

Extraordinary Fibonacci Tattoo
My half-sleeve after the first sitting. It’s being done without any black ink. At the top is a nautilus shell, … Around the nautilus shell are the first eight numbers in the Fibonacci sequence: 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21. This represents the perceived chaos in nature that is really a careful pattern, often indiscernible without careful observation.

The Fibonacci Tattoo adorns Bo.
An accomplished fusion Belly Dancer in CA.
In describing the Fibonacci Tattoo, she describes the job of a physicist rather well:
This represents the perceived chaos in nature that is really a careful pattern, often indiscernible without careful observation.
Isn’t that what all physicists do? Carefully observe and descen a pattern!

Smear campaign in the Physics Department
The latest smear: “He pals around with Theorists”
At least, they didn’t say “He pals around with string theorists”, or even worse, “He pals around with cosmologists”.
There is a crisis going on, there is enough negativity; we don’t have time for dark energy in the election.

Physics Tattoo Tuesday : Feynman diagram tattoo
After I showed you the tattoos of bubble chamber tracks; you probably knew that Feynman Diagram tattoos were coming, right!
The Feynman diagrams are some of the most intuitive and fascinating constructs in physics. The above diagram shows electromagnetic force being mediated by a photon.
The tat belongs to Vince Sanchez and looks like he got it just a few months ago.
Stay tuned for another interesting Feynman Diagram tattoo coming up in about 4 weeks.
