William Shatner’s Quantum Cthulhu Christmas

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

What do William Shatner, Quantum Physics, Frosty the Snowman, and Cthulhu have in common?  Not much save for the film in which Mr. Shatner will be voicing Santa in a world where an attempt to take his picture has screwed with the time/space continuum and has brought about the potential end of the world.

What kind of entities? Think “Frosty meets Cthulhu,”

Is there really anything more that can be said to describe just how awesome this sounds?  I doubt it.  Maybe.  Read more at the MTV MovieBlog.

My, what a Large Hadron Collider you have

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Baker and his team are searching for something called the Higgs Boson, sometimes referred to as the “God particle.” Scientists have theorized that the elusive Higgs Boson, if it exists, is what gives particles mass, but researchers have not found it. Baker has hopes that if it does exist, the Large Hadron Collider will help find it.

Personally, I think the Large Hadron Collider is not going to find any Higgs Bosons (aka God Particles).  Nope.  I think it will find something of a god, but this will be the blind idiot god type, Azezoth.  Either the returning data will make every scientist who looks at it go completely insane and start up a new cult, or the collider will tickle Azazoth just enough to wake him and we will all blink out of existance.

Either way, this is still fun geeky news! Read on at Courant.com.
