LHC jalliadi

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Honestly, it’s a bit embarrassing for me to write about theoretical physics, black hole, big bang theory and so on. To say that I am not qualified is like saying the torch light is not the sun – understatement of a lifetime.

Anyways those of you who might be interested on those topics would also be glad to know that we are alive today despite doomsday predictions from some sections. Hopefully, we should survive 21-Oct-2008 as well.This looks like an attempt to get closer to the grand unifying theory of physics. My enlightened readers can say more perhaps.

For more insights on such intellectual jalliadi matters, please buy at least a pirated edition of ‘A brief history of time’ from triplicane pycrofts road and try reading when you don’t feel sleepy. If at the end of the book, you realize a black hole is not exactly a corporation drainage man hole which is dark and black, then the money spent on the book is well spent.

This term jalliadi also reminds me of Sujatha. Had he been with us today, I am sure he would’ve written about this stuff in Katradhum Paetradhum at least a week before. I was hoping against hope that people who had more than a passing interest in theoretical physics, the real techies or nerds will write about this so that almost illiterates like me can know more. Alas, that is not to be. Idhuvum Ildyvadai la potta dhaan padipomo??

BTW do we a thamizh blog on science subjects? I can read English a bit but am not as comfortable as in clearly written contemporary thamizh when it comes to reading technical, scientific stuff.

PK: Kiriyaa oooki is not exactly clearly written contemporary thamizh. Catalyst is.
