Day Six: A ripple in the probability of the jelly

A highly successful day and no mistake.
1. I have still not eaten any chocolate, hurrah!
2. I had a fab phone call with Dr Metters of Nepal Schools Aid fame.
3. I managed to text and answer to Radio Norfolk's 'Rural Riddle', even though I didn't hear what it was (too busy on the phone to Brian).
4. I confirmed my theory that particle physics is the new poetry.
5. I have discovered that Professors are getting younger.

I have just returned from another lecture on the Large Hadron Collider. That's 2 (two) in less than a week. This was given by Professor Ben Allanach of the University of Cambridge, who looked about 22 years old or something (see 5. above) and, much like Professor Brian Cox was warm, witty and tremendously excited about the whole LHC thing. He lost me after the first 30 seconds or so, but there was definitely a mention of trifle.
Much like poetry, I haven't got a clue what most of physics is about, but there are some excellent words (anti bottom quarks anyone?),  and I like all the creativity and imagination (see 4. above). There do seem to be quite a lot of invisible things, that might or might not be there. And possibly some dark matter that isn't as dark as other dark matter (beige? diet dark matter?).
Also, I avoided a plate of highly enticing bourbon biscuits (see 1. above). A triumph.
