... Large Hadron Collider.

You guys know how much I like to do science. I like doing science more than doing football! Well, here is some scienceing for you: Bird drops baguette, halts Collider.

The fact that a bird can carry a hunk of baguette anywhere near the Hadron Collider is startling to me first off. You would think for the $9 billion invested in this thing, someone would put a roof over it. But, what captured my attention most about this article was the other article linked within from the NYT.

The Collider, the Particle and a Theory About Fate

Long/short, a couple of physicists have a theory that the Hadron Collider's mishaps and what-nots are being caused by, well... The Higgs particle (or "God" particle if your bashing a bible (instead of your bishop)) would be, these guys say, so abhorrent to the nature of our time and space, that the universe itself, when suffering its consequences, would come back in time and prevent the Collider from working.

Confusing? Not really. You're playing a video game, you save your game at a checkpoint then fall in a pit. You go back to the checkpoint and this time don't fall in the pit. The Large Hadron Collider: Proving Nature Uses Autosave

This theory actually coincides with one of my own, the Zack Theory Of Awesometivity (Or Z=Mc∂ ©, using ∂ = awesome). What this theory states is that you will not die. You, as you sit and know yourself, will live a long life, or as long as your physical body allows. If you went out today and were to cross a street, you may stop just in time to not get hit by a car.

Alternately, as I sit and know myself, I may read that you were hit by a car and I would do crying . Stephen Hawkings a few years back said, in regards to his original black hole theory, that the building blocks of matter and energy could not be destroyed in a black hole, they were simply maintained in an alternate universe. We can only exist in one temporal universe at a time, hence, you may pass in my universe, I may pass in yours, but in one universe we keep on trucking.

You will die, eventually, physically there's only so much the body can do. But consciousness, energy, cannot be destroyed or lost from the universe. If these theories about the branching of time, about parallel and alternate universes are true, then one of you has to live out the full time your physical body will allow. See?

I feel like you're all still thinking about that damned bird. Here, let Carl Sagan's auto-tuned voice woo you back to me:
