Don't Panic

Ever since i decided to make the transition from daily blog into a more conventional blog, I've had many ideas for blog posts, i suppose that's life though. So here i am not just 2 days after saying i wouldn't post daily, and on a 3rd consecutive day of blogging, however i assure you that i will not be posting this weekend, for i seem to be quite busy turning 18 and all. However that's is not why i find myself sitting at my computer writing this, no there are far more important events in the world that have made me dedicate my time. If the events that i speak of have not been made aware to you then you're lucky you found my blog as one is potential world changing whilst the other could pose a serious health risk towards you.

The first event is of course the "fact" that scientists at CERN have found a particle that travels faster than light, i use the word "fact" loosely, as whilst it technically could be called a fact as the evidence is conclusive, for some strange reason the scientist want to make sure that it is or even find the reason why they are wrong. For the benefit of those of you who aren't keen on science and have no idea what this means i'll keep it short. Effectively one of the major scientific principles could potential prove to be totally wrong. Don't Panic, whilst it could have potentially world-changing effects it won't likely effect you, instead it could open the world up to time travel. Yes you heard me, time travel, exciting right (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15034414).

Whilst i would love to delve deeper into this great discovery and its potential, i have to hurry on to the second story, as i need to go and help at youth group soon (and most likely get hit in the face with a football again, only just recovered from that if you wanted to know). As i said before this could pose a serious risk to your well being, although unless you're sailing around the Pacific at the moment it probably won't. Of course i'm talking about the big chunk of metal currently hurtling down through our atmosphere know as the URAS satellite (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15034073). Whilst most of it will burn up, hopefully, on its way some quite large chunks could make it down to the surface (over 150kg) and even the smaller chunks could cause injury, or a very nice souvenir. Again, Don't Panic though because the chance of someone getting hit is only 1 in 3200, so sleep easy, unless again you're sleeping on a boat in the pacific because the chance there is higher (p.s. why are you there anyway?).

So that's it for this week of blogging, i'll be back again next week, unless i get hit by a piece of satellite. Or if faster than light travel is found to be true, in that case i might be back again last year.
