A Call For Humor!

The bricks analogy is inappropriate. If we want a musical instrument analogy for particle physics, here's how to go: When we smash two pianos together at high speed, what comes off is not pieces of broken pianos but various kinds of fully functional musical instruments. We get horns, clarinets, violins, drums, etc. Often some of these instruments almost instantaneously convert to still other instruments. For example, a violin might soon become a flute and a piccolo. What's of interest is not the pianos we start with, but all the different instruments that come off in the collision. The excitement of this search is about to observe a brand new instrument, so far not seen in any human orchestra.

And the search for the Higgs Zeusaphone continues...

That's my friend's dog. He is a retired racing greyhound who was put out to pasture when he sustained an injury. His owner put him up for adoption, and my friend took him. His speed is truly impressive, when you throw a frisbee he predicts where it is going to land and he's already there, waiting. He always catches the frisbee before the other dog has a chance. When he comes back at you, he is going so fast, he would surely knock you 10 feet back if he were to jump at you at full speed.

I have been sending him all these greyhound memes. So thanks, @Ropeburn.

I remember well the first time I met a borzoi it was very disconcerting. From time to time the dog would disappear from my vision and then reappear. The owner explain it happens when the dog turns to face you head on and has that effect since it is two-dimensional.

Yes. Some of the instruments jetting out of the resulting collisions are known, some are 'as predicted', and some are completely mysterious/unknown, or doing something completely different. Not to mention the PHD thesis's.
