Regarding Holes...
Tue Sep 09 2008

One of those Motivate-Yourself-Mantras, I guess…

We all live in holes…literally or imaginatively, each individual is hiding in his own…mind you some prefer to call it – the wall…or cocoon…or aura…or anything else reflecting the same meaning of protected personal space. The holes can do it just as well. Who said you can’t protect by hiding? Imagine the depth of such personal sanctuary – safe heaven, where nobody can reach you, touch you, push you towards unknown and therefore – oh no - potentially negative…squeeze the whole of you into a hole and you’ll have fall-proof environment. Or is it fool-proof? Yes we do live in the holes, to each - his own, be it a hole of denial, a hole of ignorance or a hole of inconfidence and low self-esteem…and I’m the first one to fill the last ones up…the thing is…it is not enough to understand that you are in a hole…nobody herd you into it, it was you who did it to you. And it should be you to pull you out of your hole…so that you can be whole again…aren’t they funny things – those black holes?..

    I could think of many more good uses for 9.6 billion Euros.

    Couldn't you?

    These people desreve nothing, for they haven't given mankind one useful or tangible thing. Scientists like these live in a sheltered bubble, where they have the audacity to think they deserve that kind of money for their pet project while poeple go on starving and suffering around the globe.

    9.6 billion Euros. Proposterous.

    Until we start scaling our thoughts and projects to the size that keeps reality in proportion, that keeps humility and perspective on the front burner, we will accomplish nothing.

    Oh yes, you'd better send them all the well wishes you can manage. If the Hadron Collidor fails miserably and the theories are proved wrong, we may not have an Earth to worry about.

    People were probably really excited when the hydrogen bomb was invented too.

    I can ask the same question regarding 3 trillion spent on Iraq war, while peeple go on starving and suffering around the globe. what can I say? war doesn't move the progress forward. science does. and yes, both can miserably fail. *shrug*

    Re: your comment.

    Very true about the war...it too is a colossal waste of life and resource.

    Good thing you and I don't have the same spending habits as these other people!

    It was a bit over my head, but I think I got the general idea and look forward to their findings in the next few weeks!

    Not that many would care, so am not making a separate big deal (entry) out of this. Just a comment that today's FIRST experiments have been successful and it will now become a daily routine scientific research work at the LHC complex which might lead to some wonderful discoveries...or may not...or the discoveries might not be as wonderful as hoped to be...but this is the thing about the science: you never know what you'll discover on your way with her...personally I think if further work in this area will bring a possibility of finding new sources of energy, this alone will make the money well spent. but then, again, this is entirely MY PERSONAL opinion only, like it or not.

    Interesting... I had seen something about that on the news....
    physics is not my strong point..
    so you know people who worked on that?? Very impressive..

    On a physical plane, science is our only salvation, it alone can draw us out of disease, pollution and an energy crisis.

    People who can't appreciate science would sooner use a candle to a light bulb for example.They do not think beyond the limitations of their narrow mindedness.

    Thanks for presentation.

    People who criticize physics, shouldn't be allowed to use a pc or a lap top. Why should they reap the benefits if they can't think responsibly?
