Perhaps you’ve heard that the interwebs are broken. Now comes word that the series of tubes includes holes where one’s email can go astray as well! It’s not safe out there anymore, but has it ever been? I think not. So, while the plumbers patch away to try to keep our information from leaking all over the place, the [insert baddies of your choice here] are out to steal your data . It is as it ever was and maybe someone stealing your passwords will be irrelevant once the Large Hadron Collider goes online September 10th. The magnets are being super-cooled even as I write this and some folks (smart ones even) think this might create a black hole to swallow up the earth! Nice, huh? I prefer to remain optimistic because even if I get swallowed up in this universe, there are several other worlds where I do not. It’s all physics people and sometimes it can make my brain cramp up, or as the folks at Cracked like to say, this is stuff to make your head explode. Why worry? It’s all fine somewhere. So fine, in fact, that someone should rap about it — about the collider and particle physics, I mean. Watch, learn, and just try to peel your eyes away.
