Neat.* I used to do that as a kid.* Fun stuff.* Reminds me a
   little of [1]http://www.quantummatter.com/ - I was a proponent
   of Milo Wolff for a while in the early 2000s.* Got a book of his
   too.* Was active on his forums. Now I have other things I'm
   working on standing behind but yeah - sometimes when I see "atom
   smashers" I think, "yeah, you're measuring drops of water.* How
   'bout looking for the beach?** Also, if you find it, don't go
   counting the grains.* Just dig a hole and watch the water
   percolate in and imagine the amazing filtering processes
   instead.* It's better for mental health." but I'm contrary like
   that and frankly, I'm cool w/CERN getting the money. They got to
   built a huge magnet they can turn on and off.* HOW AWESOME IS
   THAT?* AND THEY GOT GOVTS TO PAY FOR IT!?* Best Grant Writers..
   EVER. [and maybe we'll learn a thing or two from it.* I'm good
   w/that]
