The Large Hadron Collider is…

*WHOOSH* Did you hear that? That was the sound of your explanation flyin right over my head. Thanks for trying though.

re: #10 LudwigVanQuixote

If you tell me some more of what you might be interested in more specifically, I can make, all sorts of recommendations.

Maybe something that covers the basics of physics, chemistry and geophysics? Biology & astronomy are great too—anything really. My interests are pretty wide, I just have a hard time finding science books that are engaging.

I just recently got a book called Visual Intelligence and it’s super-interesting, especially in relation to the graphic design work I do (and also in a kind of existential/philosophical sense, like “If pretty much we perceive are just a construct of our human brains/biology, then…?)

I already have to read a bunch much technical stuff related to web development, so I need something enjoyable. I get lots info from Nat Geo, the Smithsonian Magazine, and I have all the BBC “Planet Earth” and “Blue Planet” DVDs, but it’s not the same as reading. I want to understand how it all fits together, y’know?

LOL, okay that’s a pretty tall order, isn’t it? Sorry! *sheepish grin*
