I have to admit something.

My name is Dr. Richard T. Bale, a practiced particle physicist for the last 32 years; graduated with honors from Duke in my early 20s, having gained my Ph.D in physics from Edinburgh shortly thereafter. I was soon picked up by company whom shall remain unnamed for various projects, including the search for the Higgs Boson, which lead to more grandeur ventures including a short stay at CERN within these last few years.

We make it all up.

Not a damned night goes by where I don't wonder how it is we've come so far with such an asinine and preposterous understandings of science. There are times where I compare the practice to that of spinning a bottle at some 14-year-old girl's birthday party when regarding our fundamental deductions. Frankly, I haven't the slightest inkling how we've not yet blown ourselves up save for the unfortunate people of Japan, for whom we are wholly responsible in crimes against humanity. We're ignorant children playing with a lighter; enamored by the flame in a tribal-like delusion of strength and power. One day we're going to burn it all down until there's nothing left.

I've retired early in disgust with these child-like "sciences", and pray those aspiring in the same field do not lower themselves to be clowns in a circus of lies and ignorance. This old codger is through with the parade, and done wearing masks.
