Just in case you have not heard, a bunch of scientists hid lots of money in their sock drawers to keep it from funding war and culture homogenization. When they had saved enough, they spent an entire weekend placing the BIGGEST order ever from mouser.com and Ace Hardware. Then, under the guise of an weekend long SCIENTIST PICNIC (brilliant cover), they built this:
Basically it breaks big things into much smaller things. More expensive, but less immediately gratifying than
Main difference being, the iPad, all ground up cannot offer us any new insights into the mysteries of the universe nor a clearer picture of the meaning of our existence; Not that it would have prior to blending either.

If they are correct over there, the single little particle that pretty much gives everything its mojo, that allows us to grok it at all, may soon be revealed. The GOD particle! And the smartest scientist of them all dropped a whole mess of theoretical data into her Cray laptop, plugged in her lamentable earbuds and heard some wild drones.
Go here to read about it in a sensible form, and listen to the samples http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10385675.stm?ls
Lots of it sounds like Harry Oldfield’s research into resonating crystals, as documented on the the Current 93 presents album from the early 1990′s. But it is kinda digital aliasy sounding, and while the universe is no doubt a bunch of numbers, I dont think our hearing band could grasp its resolution. I t would be a gas if they could plug those numbers into the ANS
