A perfect (almost) correlation!

Yesterday I posited that the appearance of three airplanes on my walk today would be confirmation of the predictive character of earthquakes. I saw two planes. Not perfect but not too bad for a first try.
A piece of physics info that I forgot yesterday is that yesterday for the first time protons were collided in the Large Hadron Collider. At reduced energy to be sure but it's still a great step in what could be proof for extra dimensions and/or string theory. Oh boy!
Tomorrow is a football day. I just can't get excited about football since the entire character of my beloved 49ers changed. I think it was an inevitable change undergone by any organization as it goes from a 'family' atmosphere to the bean counter takeover on the 70's and 80's. IBM did it, Hewlett Packard did it and any number of large corporations as well as start ups that never succeeded because they couldn't (or wouldn't) make the change. Well, that's progress.
Or not.
Unequivocal collisions are proof that we're all on this flight together.
