The Hadron Supercollider (HSC) in, or rather under, Switzerland, has experienced setback after setback as scientists try to figure out just what happened during the much postulated "Big Bang". The Higgs boson is a particle that makes up other particles that makes up slightly bigger particles that are found in atoms, which are the basic building blocks to all matter in the universe. But, and this is the strange thing about the article, scientists think the Higgs boson doesn't want to exist, and is influencing events (including disruption of the HSC) from the future so that it can't come into existence.
It all sounds like the grandfather paradox we read about during the last unit, and I feel the article is cool enough for ya'll to take a gander at!

Travel Writing
Hello everyone!
As we continue our work on creating our travel agencies and brochures, I want to put up some good websites that I think really contain some good examples of how to write about a hotel or destination with as much gusto and flourish as is humanly posisble--it borders on shameless, actually. But, that is what you want for your own brochures--writing that bursts from the page with as much description and positivity as possible to entice the prospective client reading your brochure to fork over his or her money on the strength of your company's sales pitch!
Here are three websites that do a great job with their descriptions and pictures to get people to spend money on their product. Try and see if you can't glean some inspiration yourselves!
