“Is it a bird? No, it's an accelerated particle!”
~ Albert Einstein on Particle acceleration
“Those god damn accelerated particles kicked my ass. They took it all away from me. Bastards!!! Why?!?! I need another drink.”
~ Vagrant on Particle accelerators
“Ah yes, the old particle accelerator. Not unlike the accelerator found in a motor car, except it's much, much bigger and used to accelerate things that are much, much smaller.”
~ Phil Osophy on particle accelerators


Exploding planet

Whoops! The cooler malfunctioned!


A particle accelerator otherwise known as a "dildo Accelerator" was first developed on the 1950's by Mr Leo Hopkins-double penetration. It is a device used by horney scientists; the main one in use today is based under the small town of Purley near Croydon in England; the main control switches are based in the ass hole of a porn star in the local porn shop. The machine is designed to propel dildos of various brands and sizes to near light speed, then collide them with another dildo from a different brand and size. The latest experiments show that when colliding a asian dildo with a black dildo you get a white dido, and when colliding a black dildo and a flesh light the flesh light is torn in half. Experiements are currently underway to collide other exotic dildos such as macedoian with simple dildos such as english.

I tried to warn you, but no...

Particle acceleration through the ages

Interest in particle acceleration is not something new, though. Before science was even actually invented, mankind had an interest in quantum physics and the study of the behaviour of particles.

Prehistoric times

“Grhhaa oorghh fth'arr!”

“Grhhaa oorghh fth'arr!”
~ random caveman getting roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris with a particle gun on Particle acceleration

The first actual particle accelerator was invented in the Paleolithic by a random caveman called Joe. It was a very simple, primitive system. The particle to be accelerated was to be placed on top of a silex stone. The stone was then thrown by a strong caveman. Another caveman would repeat the same operation at the same time, with another particle and another stone. When the two thrown stones encounter each other, the particles placed upon them collide. Although the speed of the collision is very slow, the energy released was enough to generate sparks, hence generating fire. And presumably boiling eggs, though no archeological evidence has been found of this.

Classical Antiquity

“Veni, vidi, accelerati.”
~ Julius Caesar on Particle acceleration

The Roman Empire is well-known for its works on particle acceleration. Catapults are believed to be the first "modern" particle accelerators. A very big rock is put in the catapult launcher, over which is placed the particle to be accelerated. When the catapult is fired, the particle is accelerated at a very good speed, enough to perforate the ennemy's fortifications. Or scramble eggs. Writings of the time show, though, that the Romans thought the rock was responsible for these effects. We now know that it is not true.

Middle Ages

“This particle sure has a mysterious smile... I'm gonna make a painting out of this.”
~ Leonardo da Vinci on Particle acceleration

The Dark times were not so dark for particle acceleration. The invention of gunpowder provided humanity with a new source of acceleration, only to be bested by the invention of steam and electricity centuries afterwards. However, the basic principle remained the same: a rock on which is placed a particle is put into a launcher. Explosions were much stronger due to the increased speed of the particle (it is supposed that the energy generated is proportional to the square of the speed of the particle). But those stupid humans still thought the rock/bullet was responsible for the explosions. Silly them.

Modern times

“Is it a particle? Is it a wave? Both! It's an accelerated particle!”
~ Albert Einstein on particle acceleration, trying to explain his earlier quote to fellow physicists

A first experiment

With the invention of the steam engine and modern electricity and electronics, humanity was able at last to verify whether the explosions were generated by the carrier (silex, stone, bullet, etc.) or the particle itself. The first modern particle accelerators were build using internal combustion engines, usually diesel engines. The scientific protocol went as follows:

  • Two similar diesel engines were used.
  • In the combustion chamber of the first diesel engine, a particle was placed.
  • In the combustion chamber of the second diesel engine, a rock was placed.

Then, both engines were started.

It was quickly discovered that the rock prevented the diesel engine from working properly (if at all). On the other hand, the diesel engine with the particle still worked. Hence, the particle was responsible for the explosions.

External combustion engines were discovered as a by-product of an accident involving the experiment above.

A second experiment

To confirm the results of the earlier experiment, a second experience, funded by the Lobby Foundation for Particle Acceleration, was made with eggs.

  • Two eggs were placed on a table.
  • On the first egg was thrown a particle.
  • On the second egg was thrown a rock.

It was discovered that the egg on which the rock was thrown exploded, and not the one on which was thrown the particle. The Foundation dismissed the results of the experiment, calling them "inconclusive", and the study was ignored altogether.

A third experiment

A new experiment was then set up to confirm the results found earlier.

  • A particle and a rock were placed side to side on a table.
  • An egg was thrown at the particle.
  • Another egg was thrown at the rock.

As both eggs broke on impact, nothing of interest was concluded. Scientists got tired of those silly experiments and decided that, well, particle cause explosions, which proved their point, and enabled them to obtain government funding to build particle accelerators.

Modern particle accelerators

“Einstein just doesn't know how to make witty quotes as I do.”
~ Oscar Wilde on Einstein's quotes

Particle accelerators built nowadays are of different types. Circular accelerators look like a very, very overstretched circle. Linear accelerators look like a very, very overstretched line. The bigger the accelerator, the bigger the acceleration. Charged particles are accelerated using magnetic fields until they hit a target, which is usually an egg. If the egg is boiled, the experiment is considered successful. Also a detection system traces the new particles generated by the collision. It is seldom used.

Interesting facts about particle accelerators

“Well, fuck you.”
~ Albert Einstein on Oscar Wilde's quotation about his own quotes.
  • Electric heaters are in fact swirly particle accelerators.
  • Accelerated particles go so fast that most of the time the police aren't able to give them a ticket.
  • Hula Hoop is a manual kind of particle accelerator, used specifically by women for the study of the turnmeon.
  • In computers, video cards are complex particle accelerators handling polygons.
  • Vegetalians regularly protest against the use of eggs in particle accelerators. The argue that tofu would work as well. This is subject to controversy among the scientific community.
  • Neutrinos are the only particles that cannot be accelerated.

The specific case of the Neutrino

“Awwww come on, man, I was just joking.”
~ Oscar Wilde on Einstein's reaction.

The neutrino is a unique kind of particle, in the sense that it cannot be accelerated. The reason of its tremendous speed is unknown. Intelligent Design proponents say that a sentient entity, like, "God", has initially accelerated the neutrino to its current speed, and nobody know why, because Mysterious are His Ways. Others simply think that the neutrino got bored sitting around in space doing nothing and decided to put a bit of spice in his half-life. Many don't give a damn about it.

In order to study the neutrino, it needs to be decelerated. A particle decelerator is now being built in the south pole for that purpose. It looks like a huge pool of heavy water, with the sides covered by neutrino detectors. If a neutrino hits a molecule of heavy water in that huge volume, this will be detected, hence proving that the neutrino exists (or something). In order to make the pool more attractive to neutrinos, scientists have planted palm trees all around the sides of the pool, raised the temperature of the water to +30°C, and have also hired hookers wearing bikinis to lay on the beach.

Results of the experiment are not yet known, however the hookers have caused some confusion in the scientific team, specifically since scientists are not allowed to interact with them, as the hookers are part of the experiment. One of the researchers at the station was quoted saying "I just can't continue sleeping with penguins when I know there are beautiful women around." Penguins were not available for comment.
