I haven't posted in what could be considered a long time.
Well to be completely honest, in galactic terms it has been almost no time at all. Conversely in the eyes of say, an antiquark (which doesn't really have eyes, but run with the poetry) not having posted for anything more then an infinitesimal amount of time is an infinitely long period of time, obviously.
We are, of course, assuming that the antiquark popped into existence in our universe. It's impossible to tell what would happen if it suddenly popped into existence in another universe (mainly cause there is no one there to check).
I suppose is would also be appropriate to ask why antiquarks are popping into existence all over the place to begin with. That kind of thing can be dangerous and someone really should put a stop to it.
Right now we have followed that rabbit hole to its muddy end, I suppose I should explain myself.
I am currently completing my 'Professional Year', which is actually two years.
For each subject you are required to do an 'Extension Project'. Contrary to how it sounds this does not involve building a sun room on the back of your house. Instead they make you write a bloody great paper on some inane theoretical accounting concept. This appears to be for the sole purpose of 'Extending' your patience.
I actually finished the stupid thing about a week ago. I have spent the time since then vacuuming up all the brains that melted and drained out my ears and putting them back. I think the bits and pieces of junk and debris on the floor have actually made me smarter.
On that bombshell I think i might go to bed.

(Yes I know the picture is of a proto-star and not an antiquark. Why? Because you can't actually see an antiquark. If one ever did pop into existence close enough for you to see it (and considering it is a really really really incredibly small thing you would need to be really close) then the resulting explosion that would happen instantly, would be incredibly unspectacular. You wouldn't die. Seriously, 1.439 x10 to the -8 joules is stuff all (3 trillionth's of a gram of TNT stuff all).
