Webb Captures The Rings Of Giant Planets

do things badly. make messy origami that vaguely resembles a crane, play piano with clashing notes, draw like you’re a child and dont care what it looks like, make mistakes and fail and mess up but for the love of god TRY.

gentle reminder: you are very capable and I’m excited for your future

slightly less gentle reminder: you do have to work for it

college is all about screaming in to your pillow about how you DONT WANNA I DONT WANNA DO IT I DONT WANT TO and then you do it

"college is the best years of your life" "college is for meeting new people and expanding your mind" wrong. college is for discovering new types of grief. also the timeloop

started back at orchestra today, i missed it so much 🥳 love love love paperchase’s planning pads atm, so useful and i got them in a 3 for 2 sale, so it’s a win win.

i said 'explain physics to me like youre in love with me' and after a while of quiet he went 'everything sings'. so i get it now

Rating LHC detector logos & names

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has 4 crossing-point detectors: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb. This is a totally accurate 100% true absolutely not biased summary of how well they rank in name and logo

ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment

Name: 5/5 (we love a woman in STEM, plus it's a fairly easy and informative acronym)

Logo: 3/5 (simple, cool colours but does look slightly evil, and the fact the lines aren't the same length upsets me)

TOTAL: 8/10

ATLAS: A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS

Name: 3/5 (loving the mythology name, very cool. However, a point has to be deducted from having two letters in the acorynm from 'Apparatus', especially as one is from the end of the word. Another point is deducted from using an acronym in your acronym)

Logo: 5/5 (perfect, and apparently it's also modelled on an actual physicist from the experiment)

TOTAL: 8/10

CMS: Compact Muon Solenoid

Name: 1/5 (it's so boring! You get 1 point for being informative)

Logo: 1/5 (it looks like a child designed it. Where's the pizzazz? I know those are meant to be muon tracks but they really do look like tentacles)

TOTAL: 2/10

LHCb: LHC-beauty

Name: 2/5 (Yes okay it's not really any better than CMS', but the fact it has LHC in the name makes it feel very Important™. The beauty is from the fact its doing bottom quark physics, and bottom quarks are also called beauty quarks and I just think that's neat)

Logo: 2/5 (A Basic Bitch of a logo, though it gets 1 redemption point for the red line suggesting CP violation, which is physicsy and cool)

TOTAL: 4/10

ever since i was a young hydrogen particle 14 billion years ago i knew i wanted to be wasting all the hot water in the shower

If you ever want to feel what it’s like to be hated by every Scottish person just get a job working for the sqa.
