Why we (the team) exist:
"In 2006, Dr. (Don) Page calculated that the dark energy would have to decay in about 20 billion years in order to prevent (the universe) from being overrun by Boltzmann brains."
-- The New York Times, Jan. 15, 2008
Mission statement(s):
To prevent that from happening. (The dark energy part, not the Boltzmann brains part.)
To support the minuscule probability, according to Princeton particle theorist Nima Arkani-Hamed, that "the Large Hadron Collider might make dragons that might eat us up."
-- The New York Times, March 29, 2008
To celebrate "the cosmos (tending) toward greater entropy, as man tends towards ever more destructive tendencies and the AFC North tends towards the passing game, and the only constant in our mutable world is change."
