Check this out: Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have produced the highest recorded temperature ever - 3.6 billion degrees Fahrenheit (2 billion K). This is the same lab that secretly recreated the Flux capacitor allthough publicly they still deny it.

When I think about these scientists working/playing with the Z-machine I think of little boys out in the back yard with a magnifying lens burning leaves, ants, ect. Now that they are older and smarter they have a much bigger magnifying lens but they are still just playing. Any one see Real Genius? You get the picture. (Tell me guys, was it like lazing a stick of dynamite?)

The guys at MIT always come up with cool stuff. I’m wondering what it would take to do this in Flash. Probably the hardest thing would be recognizing the shapes. The actual physics part is rather straight forward.

Brian Cox gives a remarkably polished presentation at TED about the LHC and what it’s all about.

Woot - beamtrees.

There’s a good explanation there about how these designs are created.

Anyone have a particle accelerator I can borrow to make one?

This is a great looking application. Should be lots of fun for kids to play around with. If I had the time I’d try something like this in Actionscript. But it’s way down on my list of 2Dos.
