I go into the local diner slash bar that serves my wonderful grilled chicken sandwich with bacon. One of the cooks comes out to chat with me. We had not seen each other in several weeks. We chat physics alot.
The following lines were the very beginning of our conversation and we both knew what the other person was talking about, three words each.
Cook: smiling, "They found it!"
Me: "Yes, I heard."
What?!?!?
Higgs Boson, sub-atomic particles, Large Hadron Collider, CERN, Switzerland; just your typical tiny Texas town diner dinner conversation content.
And to think we could have had a super collider in Texas a long time ago, but it got voted down.
Here is a cartoon #89 that I drew as part of my series "TINY PICTURES FROM My BRAIN". I think this was from about twenty years ago.
