Hey friends!
Most days I wake up and I’m able to tie my shoes without having to look up the manual so I have that going.
Concerning the Collider, imagine I know zero scientific terms and you don’t say stuff like “protons” or “particles”. Most P words are most likely banned.
I’m happy with the broadest, vaguest definition because the nitty gritty details are like Greek to me.

We’re just trying to understand what everything is made of, down to the smallest building blocks, and the only way we know how is by smashing things together to see what comes out. The Large Hadron Collider does just that: makes things go fast, smash them together, then monitor the result.
Small aside, it’s funny you should say Greek because scientists love using Greek letters to call things (alpha particles, beta particles), so it actually sounds like Greek to everyone 😎
