Oh, okay. Now calm down.

I must facetiously admit I get worried when people in charge of something so very big tweet like this:

Experiment have seen collisions!!!!!!!!!!!

Or like this:

First time in the history!!!!!!!!!!!! World record!!!!!!!!

Both from the official CERN Twitter feed; I’d guess the difference is those doing momentous things in the past didn’t have to comment so very hurriedly about it. Thus J. Ro Oppenheimer had time to come up with “I am become Shiva, the destroyer of worlds” instead of “Fucking yea!“, and Archimedes could report “Eureka!” (thought not deny the running-nude-around-Syracuse part), instead of his original “Great leprous crotch of Hera, what is it now? Oh, wait, hey, right, fucking yea!
