First, it was Giant Gicrobes®, and now we have ParticleZoo®, foam filled representations of subatomic particles.
They found the former at a museum, and I am honor bound to notify them of the latter, and so they will demand the fuzzy harbingers of entropy….I find this all a bit….strange.*
In any case, I feel like I am the victim of some sort of twisted physics related drive-by.
They also have a physics Lolcat page, go there if you dare.
In fact, some researchers at CERN actually used a special order Particle Zoo plushie in their roll-out of the single-top quark:
*It’s a physics pun.†
†But no, this is not just a vehicle for a pun, my kids are heavily into Giant Microbes®
