I almost forgot, I wanted to mention that there was a big day for physics last week - and of course, Brian was enjoying it all. You've heard in the news of the LHC, Large Hadron Collider http://www.lhc.ac.uk/the-big-questions.html that ran a test run last week. It's all the buzz (as you can imagine) here in Oxford amongst the nerds, oops, I mean physicists. It's pretty cool though, and don't believe what the media is telling you about the earth turning into a black hole or whatever. Bunch of bollocks!
Oh, and Brian was in Cambridge on that same day, and guess who he ran into in person and got to meet? It might be the one and only physicist everyone knows by name (well besides Brian of course :) ) - Stephen Hawking! http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/stephen_hawking_asks_big_questions_about_the_universe.html
