Year End Physics Phun and Miscellany

Not so smart Physics junkies like me are starting to feel their oats.  It seems that not all is explained by the egg-heads in charge.

And what nerdiness can be added to a fascination with the Large Hadron Collider that would actually make it nerdier.  How 'bout building a model of it out of Legos!

 

More photos of the 9,500 block masterpiece that took 80 hours to create. (The Higgs doesn't stand a chance!)

Addendum:  The Good News - They are working on an Instruction Manual on how to build it.  The Bad News - It costs 2,000 Euros for the bricks, or $2,618 currentl;y!

Don't forget to vote in the Performance of the Year on the left side! (Maybe someone could show Ryan Foster a little love!)

And there are just a few days left to sign up for this year's purchase of the Alumni Singlet.
