WTF is it doing?

Did you see that? I mean WTF?

This new image, published today by NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory now shows two ‘hands of God’.  OK, so they are not actually hands of God, but what the hell are they doing?

Pulsar PSR B1509-58 has spawned a twin and together they seem to be up to something, and I’m not sure it looks good.

I know NASA said that the whole pulsar ‘hand of God’ phenomenon is some 17,000 light years away, so I shouldn’t be too worried. But what if they’re wrong?

Is this some cosmic vortex opening up to swallow the universe? Could it be a giant wormhole about to unleash a gargantuan fleet of mega destroyers upon us? Or is the universe just giving us some kind of cosmic sign. If so, what is it trying to say?

If you have any idea, let me know.

Still puzzled about what the Large Hadron Collider actually is for?

Here it is all explained as a rap song featuring dancing CERN physicists and the voice of Stephen Hawking. I wish my old physics lectures were this much fun back in the days!

It seems like Douglas Adams was wrong after all about the world ending on a Thursday. Wrong by one day if there is any truth in the words of the scaremongers blabbing about the dangers of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), due to be fired up this coming Wednesday 10^th September.

I Survived the Large Hadron Collider Experiment T-Shirt

The Large Hadron Collider will be used to speed up two proton beams to practically the speed of light, travelling in opposite directions. As these protons are then made to smash into each other, scientists are hoping to recreate conditions very similar to those just the tiniest fraction of a second after the Big Bang. This has lead to speculation and unfounded scaremongering that a resulting rogue black hole or some other phenomenon will be created that will swallow up the Earth and the surrounding solar system.

But even if this baloney were true, nothing so spectacular will happen this Wednesday because it will take a while for the Large Hadron Collider to get the protons going fast enough for scientists to have the smashing time they have been preparing for for the last 20 years.

So, will you survive the Large Hadron Collider experiment?

Well, that depends… you could be unlucky enough to get hit by a car or choke on a chicken bone before it’s all over. But in the meantime, make sure you get hold of your ‘I Survived the Large Hadron Collider Experiment’ t-shirt from our shop at MadSciStuff.com so that just in case you make it, you’ll be all set and ready to have some fun at the expense of the doomsayers who would like to stop Science progress in its tracks.
