After meeting at a lap-dancing club,,, in Lapland, the Nobel Prize winning wheelchair-bound physicist Professor Stephen Hawking and top Hollywood actor Tom Cruise became the closest of friends.
Convinced by Cruise of the sound reasoning behind L. Ron Hubbard's classically invented religion of Scientology, Professor Hawking became a devout adherent himself, and decided to devote all of his massive scientific braininess, plus [+] some maths, to proving that all the weird space stuff about Thetans, Xenu etc, that's fundamental to the Scientology belief system, was scientifically accurate.
But Tom Cruise reckoned that this would be a waste of "Time" (something which Hawking is a bit of an expert on), and told him of his intense jealousy regarding the runaway commercial success of the salad dressings marketed by ageing rival hollywood actor [the now sadly late] Paul Newman.
Stephen Hawking was so grateful to Cruise for revealing to him the profound truths of the Scientology religion that he agreed to use all of his scientific powers, and nuclear physics itself, to create the finest salad dressing in the Entire Universe[s], which could be sold under the 'Scientology Salad Dressing' label, to raise money and spread the gospel according to old L. Ron, and blow "that old bastard" Newman and his salad dressing away.
For months Hawking toiled away in a secret subterranean Cambridge laboratory full of radioactive materials, egg whites, garlic, and olive oil, plus some top-grade balsamic vinegar, with the invaluable aid of lab assistant John Travolta, when finally his moment of ultimate triumph arrived!
The birth of Professor Stephen Hawking & Tom Cruise's Special Scientology Salad Dressing.
Very, very luckily, I was the only other person present, to capture the amazing moment on my trusty 75 year old Voigtlander Brilliant box camera, loaded with Eddie Olive's special x-pro out-of-date slide film.
I processed it in some of the highly radioactive 'Scientology Salad Dressing' immediately after exposure, then scanned and sharpened with my 'Mac-a-Mania' home-written photo processing software,,, with the above results,
A true "exclusive", I feel!
Two iconic structures on the campus of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Details on their role in the history of neutrino physics can be found here.
I wanted to emphasize the rich structures and use negative tones to give the photograph a "blueprint look."
The area now hosts SiDet, one of the most advanced laboratories for the design, assembly and testing of particle detectors based on silicon technology.
The Fermilab Photo Club celebrates Fermilab's 50th anniversary, 50.fnal.gov, at Water Street Studios in Batavia, Illinois, with photographs of people, nature, architecture, scientific apparatus, etc.
The exhibit opens Friday, August 11, 6-9 pm and runs till Sunday, September 3, 2017. Everybody is invited!

This is just one of a bunch of pics I took at yesterday's Fermilab Photowalk at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Just a handfull of pics to show off with more to come. The public spaces at Fermilab are neat and well worth a visit, but if you ever get the chance to go behind the scenes, at a place like this, TAKE IT! Fermilab, Batavia, IL
The leaflet that came with this shirt says "This equation neatly sums up our current understanding of fundamental particles and forces. It represents mathematically what we call the standard model of particle physics. The top line describes the forces: electricity, magnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. The second line describes how these forces act on the fundamental particles of matter, namely the quarks and leptons. The third line describes how these particles obtain their masses from the Higgs boson, and the fourth line enables the Higgs boson to do the job. Many experiments at CERN and other laboratories have verified the top two lines in detail. One of the primary objectives of the LHC is to see whether the Higgs boson exists and behaves as predicted by the last two lines." It was a great present - fits my chest and goes well over my head
A RHIC Dipole on display outside of the Brookhaven Superconducting Magnet Laboratory.
RHIC is a particle collider used to collide heavy ions at relativistic speeds, hence the name Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The dipole magnet is a key part of any synchrotron as it allows the recirculation of beam through accelerating RF Cavities. This particular magnet is a superconducting magnet operation at ~8°F above absolute zero, utilizing NbTi superconducting cable.
Another in this series. This was during a morning when the sun was shining through fog and reflecting off the glass of these buildings. Very dramatic and strange.
That which is new builds upon the old. Each new flash of discovery standing out on its own, while the structure that allowed them to be fades away. Windows become doors, dust becomes massive, building to a new existence.

Introduction “The Stairway to Heaven Manuscript” – Blueprint to communicate with Infinite Intelligence…………… “I took 3 nights and 3 days off of work, to step by step find out why I ended up where I did, and what I was like in the past — there were a series of beliefs about changes, and problem solving, and crisis management, etc etc that were tied to negative beliefs, not positive — since you can’t change the past, the only way this could be done would be to change certain beliefs about types of events, and place them in a certain sequence working from the present to the past, systematically having all past experiences not have effected me at all. — I got to the sequence of changes needed, and found them to be “in theory” correct. Then I had to believe that if I could adopt these beliefs, in the order I had written, that they would work / instantly HEAL my Depression problem. I had to also believe that my mind would accept these new beliefs without question, and that I had come up with a way to fix all issues at once, and most importantly, the plan would work.

Hommage to the fine structure constant, a mysterious, dimensionless number that governs the bond between charged elementary particles. Imagine the force between two bodies. What draws them together? What keeps them apart? What must you overcome to make a connection?
Pencil and marker on board. inspired by Maxwell's groundbreaking text: A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873)
I'ts Muon g-2 and it measures the behavior of muons in a magnetic field. Very Exciting! What Exactly is that? I don't know...
But anyway, The experiment isn't actually new, it was built at Brookhaven in the late 90's and had a short run which started hinting to new physics... Then it was cancelled. Without the Tevatron, Fermilab had some spare beam available and has agreed to host the experiment. Most of it was able to be broken down to pieces that are easy to ship, but at the heart of the experiment are 3 large circular superconducting electromagnets. These are single coil magnets 50' wide which would be impossible to disassemble and extremely expensive to build replacements. To get them to Fermilab, they have been shipped on a barge from New York to Illinois and now are undergoing a 30 mile journey on surface streets to the lab.
All of these photos are from the Lemont Road portion of the move. There will be 2 more main days of moving it on the roads, One in which they will temporarily close part if I-355 and one in which they will close I-88.

One thing that I may always fear
Is that one day I'll just fade away and disappear.
Maybe I'll just be ignored, forgotten and invisible
Or perhaps Scotty will beam me up with molecules divisible.
Maybe I'll fade in the early sunrise fog
Or perhaps vanish in a car crash over the rush hour smog.
Maybe I'll perish in burning thick black smoke..
While gasping for breath trying not to choke,
Perhaps I'll go missing in a dark alley's violent night
Or maybe now while you're reading.. I'll just fade to white.

CLAS12 stands for CEBAF (Continuous Electron beam Accelerator Facility) Large Acceptance Spectrometer, 12 GeV. It accepts an electron beam at ~11GeV (12GeV is only available in Hall D).
Ok, So what does it mean? To be honest, I'm not entirely sure...I could try to explain it, but you would be better off going to the CLAS12 Experiment page below:
www.jlab.org/Hall-B/clas12-web/
The big grey thing on the right is my current project... In total, there are 6 large coils being built at Fermilab in collaboration with Jefferson Lab for the torus in this detector. They are about 6' by 12' and approximate a 24' doughnut after installation.
I had forgotten that this is a superconducting magnet, which is pretty cool (get it?). More info: muon-g-2.fnal.gov/
This experiment got more than your average amount of press a couple years ago because this 50 foot magnet was brought from Brookhaven National Lab on Long Island all the way here by barge and truck in one piece, which wasn't entirely trivial.

On the right is a silicon wafer about the size of a credit card, and much thinner. In operation it was charged to about 1000 volts. Any particles zapping through it left a tiny charge which was picked up by one of the thousands of little sense wires etched into its surface, carried down the green flat cable in the middle, and then measured, digitised by the readout chips on the left and stored. It could be read out on request into computers that would use those 'hits' to reconstruct the path of the particle. All in a fraction of a second. Clever stuff. There were about 60 of these attached to carbon fibre 'arms' that could be moved around independently (and very precisely) inside a big vacuum chamber about the size of a car. In 1999, this was seriously cutting-edge stuff, though the LHC experiments at CERN are now even more impressive.
These were hand built, by the way. You're not looking at something churned out by robots in a Taiwanese factory. The wafers and chips were manufactured for us by commercial companies like Sintef, but they arrived in little boxes like hi-tech Lego and were glued, soldered and bonded by the technical staff at the MPI for Physics in Munich.
9 image stitch(~100MP) of the old Bubble Chamber at Fermilab.
Bubble Chambers are old school particle detectors. As particles pass through the working fluid, they leave trails of bubbles. If subjected to a magnetic field, charged particles will curve, and from the curve, momentum can be determined.
This is useful in some sciency way or another.
So big it takes two shots with an ultra-wide lens to get it all in.
(The other approach is to shoot a video and pan the camera around: youtu.be/8RNeVkB5KgA )

The cyclotron itself is buried under the concrete blocks in the distance - it's a large, vague disc-shape surrounded by magnets. Charged particles are injected into the centre and accelerated outwards in a spiral - hence the 'cyclotron' name.
