Give Props to Tina Fey

Tina Fay and Amy Poehler did a skit on the two most popular women in politics. Fey playing an amazing Palin and Poehler playing Clinton. You have to check this out it is hilarious. Enjoy!

Is the World Coming to an End Due to...

Next month the largest particle accelerator (LHC) will be turned on in Geneva, Switzerland. For those that are interested in physics and astronomy and are part of the scientific community, this is a huge opportunity to find more information about what happened seconds after the Big Bang.

The project cost 8 billion dollars and is operated by the International Physics Laboratory called CERN. The accelerator will be smashing subatomic particles together, creating energy that happened seconds after the Big Bang.

So why might the world come to an end? Well, this is what worries people about the machine and this is also why people are talking so much about this project. If the particles are being smashed together at such fast and powerful rates (very close to the speed of light) this possibly could create micro-black holes. If this is true it could 'in theory' destroy mankind and the Earth itself. The physicist and astronomers who are looking at possible micro-black holes developing are relying on Hawkings Radiation. Hawkings Radiation theory says that when 2 virtual particles appear they cancel each other out. However, if two virtual particles appear and one falls into the black hole there is one left over that can't be canceled out, therefore taking energy/mass away from the black hole. Keep in mind this is all 'in theory'.

Because there is some possibility of a black hole being created there have been many lawsuits trying to shutdown the particle accelerator. Although there is a very, very small chance a black hole will be created online blogs and discussion boards have been raving about this subject alone. However a CERN spokesman made a good point; "Earth is bathed with cosmic rays powerful enough to create black holes all the time, and the planet hasn't been destroyed yet"

The LHC project was not intended to prove that black holes can be developed by scientists or to see if the earth can in fact be destroyed. This IS an advancement in the Science community, to strengthen our knowledge on how the Universe was created and how it developed.

This is all pretty interesting. Here are some informational websites:

Eagle Eye

Personally I love action pact movies and this is why I am so stoked for the upcoming movie, directed by D.J. Caruso under Spielberg's executive production, Eagle Eye. Jerry Shaw (Labeouf) and Rachael Holloman (Monogahn) receive phone calls from a woman who gives them directions on how to stay alive and away from the police. From the trailer it looks as if somebody framed both Holloman and Shaw and the only way they can escape is to listen to woman on the phone who knows exactly what is going to happen at any given moment.

This movie looks like a lot of fun and completely amazing. Have fun watching the trailer.

new philosophy.

as I sit listening to the acoustic version of Paramore's "For a Pessimist, I am pretty optimistic"...
I realize the following blog will have no real argument.
just a thought on expectations.

a real important person once told me to not expect anything at all. and he is right.
if good happens, great. what a bonus.
if bad happens, it is okay, because there was no real let down-since there were no expectations.

so instead of expecting anything at all, i am giving up, dropping preconceived notions, and i am letting things take their own fall or not.

hey, it is time i adapt to change.
yeah?
