You are asking something different, but I think it's interesting to mention that the particles that go into the LHC don't start there. The LHC gets them from the SPS, which gets them from the PS and this keeps going for a few more steps.

I started in software and moved on to physics, which has a lot of programming and is similar in many ways. Still, it's different and I like that I made the choice. I will soon have contributed to physics in a small but meaningful way, which was my reason for switching. I plan to stop after that and just go back to programming. Posts like these make me think I should switch again but to an even more orthogonal subject.
the most Gigachad thing I have read in a long time
I will comment this and go to bed, finally. Thanks!
On second thought, let's not move to Linux.
My dream game has always been a game that combines the most impressive technologies with open ended gameplay. So like impressive modern graphics and; physics and; Red Faction-like destructible environments and; procedurally generated content. All wrapped in a good-enough gameplay package like an RPG or something.
I realize all these technologies come at great trade-offs, but the dream is a good balance.
It's mostly the destructible environments from Red Faction Guerilla that I'd want in other games.
Jarring reading this as my inner voice goes from singing the song and switching to a riddle-reading voice.
