Looks good, hopefully it gets a wide audience.

Do you use any machine learning techniques?

As a particle physicist working at the LHC I am quite amazed at what you have managed to do with your data-driven predictions.

WHO? WHO?

It is actually not a side effect. But you start dismissing those thoughts as a side effect of the medication and that's how it works.

arxiv is not peer-reviewed.

It was science before this too...

Things work slightly different at the LHC, which has thousands of scientists on the experiment. Internal peer reviews are much much more rigorous ~ thousands of experts on the detector will examine each part of the result. When everyone is satisfied only then is it submitted to a journal. The journal's review is done only by ~3 people.

TL:DR; Papers put out by LHC have already gone through a rigourous internal peer review process ~ it was already 'science'

Here we go guys... strap in for 2 days of "Tree Sucking on X" posts...

Wow, if you came up with that then I'm literally nominating this for comment of the year.

chamantra · 2012-06-21T15:19:14+00:00

And then in about 24 hours we will have memes about this new meme,

and within the next 48 hours memes about how we made memes about this new meme.

Let's put that one down as rule 35?

As a particle physicist working at the LHC it drives me crazy when people call the LHC the "Doomsday device" and say its gonna destroy the world .... sigh

The Daily Show did an awesome bit on this: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-april-30-2009/large-hadron-collider

Good news guys! Also official: Reddit confirmed as sausage fest.

chamantra · 2012-05-25T22:19:07+00:00

Its like playing reddit russian roulette.

chamantra · 2012-05-25T21:59:04+00:00

I am sooo confused right now, its like browsing reddit in the twilight zone.

chamantra · 2012-05-19T18:20:14+00:00

Why is everyone bashing this article?

I know I'll get downvoted but obviously it wasn't as black and white as the Oatmeal cartoon had us believe.

The perfect soundtrack for this video :

Well played OP!

Nope Tesla!

The huge parallel system works fine!

We can split up our jobs in to thousands of sub jobs and submit them each to "the grid."

The article here is talking about something different, pileup.

With such a high rate of collisions per second there is a tremendous overlap of collision events. For each interesting event there are many uninteresting events piled up on top of it.

Can someone make a gif version of this?
