Haha, world class particle physicists are tweeting breakthroughs. Take that, Twitter bashers!

| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

Come on guys - everyone in the physics world KNOWS that the hadron collider (LHC) is stealing Fermilab's thunder! |
