Beauty, Anti-Beauty and the LHC: my goal of blogging about physics is twofold - one, to have a "water cooler" conversation, albeit monologue about the physics around everywhere - your mobile phone, climate change, the Internet; to make it less exotic and more ordinary. Two, to expose people of color to physics, particularly young people, and the possibility of pursuing careers in the sciences. Par for the online interview I listened to on Blog Talk Radio (this site), our youth don't see themselves in such careers, just what is "programmed" for them to accept about themselves. That, is true "brainwashing."
Science Fiction has played a role in the world we currently live in, the link is a small list, as sliding doors in department stores were inspired by two guys following the cues of Gene Roddenberry.
Earth's resources are finite, and like Wall-E, we'll eventually have to become a space-faring species. Such a human adventure, need not be "whitewashed."
