I don't trust the algorithm used on that site. It seems to be
committing the fallacy of affirming the consequent.

Besides, I've never seen a large hadron, much less seeing two
of them collide.

Similar events occurred in the Deep Space Nine spin-off.

Actually, no, they wouldn't. Maybe if we manage to establish
Lunar colonies...

Yeah. No wonder the Right Wing is upset. The earth is always
moving, step by step, to the left.

In related news, the first steps towards doing a movie (with perhaps a remake
to follow) of the 1969 Gerry & Sylvia Anderson SF seriers _UFO_ have been
taken. Ah. Extremely mammalian young women in fishnet jumpsuits on submarines
and in very tight silver jumpsuits (and purple wigs...) running Moonbase.
Ah, yes. Now there's a film project I want to succeed.

No, no no, it's recreated every billionth of a second each one much like
it predecessor. The succession gives the illusion of movement.
Thus we avoid Zeno's paradox, without calculus.
Some physical theories state that time is quantized, IOW that there is a
smallest time. If this is true, then whether every unit time is a
different universe or the same one with a time increment is a
philosophical rather than scientific question, like choosing between the
various interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Ugh. I think I'm joining the Last Tuesdayans. There's a branch
here, the Church of the Warm Mantlepiece, IIRC, that has some
cool folks in it. And lots of cats.
Then all I have to do is hold out until tonight at 1800 UT and it
will all be over.
There's a new world being built right now!
