I what..?!

Decided to check out the other songs by The Lonely Island. Nice parody. Weird faces too :/

Jamie-Lynn Sigler is v-pretty though. Nice.

Back to life, lets see what I've been up to. Hm.. Nothing really. LOL. There's nothing much to do here. Eat, sleep, play with my iPod. Food is nice. I've been eating more than usual which is bad. Hopefully Pangkor Laut will be much more fun, though I'm not particularly looking forward to it. This holiday hasn't been an enjoyable one.

Here's a thing I've been thinking about though. what are some of the fastest things on earth? Events that can happen within the smallest fraction of a second.

A hummingbird, which can hover like a helicopter and fly backwards or sideways, flaps it's wings 12-90 per second. Very fast.

Even faster are the bones in our ears. The 3 bones, called the stirrup, anvil and hammer, can vibrate up to 20,000 times a second. Very nice and to think that they've been doing so very second of our lives that we're hearing. Our brain is pretty quick on hearing too, being able to differentiate sounds that are 100,00th of a second apart. Well done indeed.

Taking it up many notches higher is the number of oscillations a Caesium-133 atom makes. Used in atomic clocks, they vibrate at 9,192,631,770 times per second. A computer counts the number of oscillations made and counts 1 second on the clock. This is a very accurate way of measuring time because patterns in nature hardly disrupt themselves.

However, the event that can happen in the shortest amount of time that I know (there may be other things can happen in even lesser time and I'm not surprised if they are. This is only what I know) is the existence of the Higgs Boson that is going to be created by either the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) or Fermilab. This vital particle is essential because if it isn't found, every physics book written in the past 50 years needs serious revising. Lasting for only a billionth of a billionth of a millionth of a second after it has been formed in the particle accelerator, this "God Particle" is detected by what it decomposes into. Cool eh?

These are just what I know. There are loads of other things that can fit between a hummingbird and a caesium atom's oscillations but just to cut them short, I only picked these few. Again, these is only to my knowledge and there are probably other things that can happen in wayy lesser time that a Higgs Boson can exist here. And I wouldn't be surprised.

Interesting eh?

Enough said..
