Rating LHC detector logos & names
CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has 4 crossing-point detectors: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb. This is a totally accurate 100% true absolutely not biased summary of how well they rank in name and logo
ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment
Tumblr media
Name: 5/5 (we love a woman in STEM, plus it's a fairly easy and informative acronym)
Logo: 3/5 (simple, cool colours but does look slightly evil, and the fact the lines aren't the same length upsets me)
TOTAL: 8/10
ATLAS: A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS
Tumblr media
Name: 3/5 (loving the mythology name, very cool. However, a point has to be deducted from having two letters in the acorynm from 'Apparatus', especially as one is from the end of the word. Another point is deducted from using an acronym in your acronym)
Logo: 5/5 (perfect, and apparently it's also modelled on an actual physicist from the experiment)
TOTAL: 8/10
CMS: Compact Muon Solenoid
Tumblr media
Name: 1/5 (it's so boring! You get 1 point for being informative)
Logo: 1/5 (it looks like a child designed it. Where's the pizzazz? I know those are meant to be muon tracks but they really do look like tentacles)
TOTAL: 2/10
LHCb: LHC-beauty
Tumblr media
Name: 2/5 (Yes okay it's not really any better than CMS', but the fact it has LHC in the name makes it feel very Important™. The beauty is from the fact its doing bottom quark physics, and bottom quarks are also called beauty quarks and I just think that's neat)
Logo: 2/5 (A Basic Bitch of a logo, though it gets 1 redemption point for the red line suggesting CP violation, which is physicsy and cool)
TOTAL: 4/10

we named it the computer mouse because it fit so comfortably in our hands and it reminded us of ancient times where our ancestors put their palms over the backs of cave mice and shuffled them across the ground to move the cursor on their cave wall mounted gaming monitors

the command line feels so personal... like how some people say when they pray they're talking directly to god but instead I'm talking directly to the computer

the past couple months i've really been faced with the question of "why do you study astrophysics" and. uh
i don't know if I'm passionate about what i do because i know a lot about it, or if i know a lot about what i do because I'm passionate about it
because i definitely did not give two shits about space until maybe the last year of high school. but to be fair i did not give two shits about anything
