Greetings and salutations all you pony-fabulous ponies, and welcome to the 3rd episode of Random Ramblings of a Ponified Wing. Today, I'd like to take you on a marvelous adventure to the real world to show you just what kind of crazy shit I do.

First on my list of show and tell is a video I made about a device called the Cloud Chamber. This is actually the first instrument invented to view particle interactions in real time. It banked a Nobel Prize in the early 1900s, so I just think it is cool as all bucking hell that a pony can build one out of computer parts and Rubbermaid stuff. Take it away human self...

Next up, I'd like to tell you a little bit about what I do. I study neutrinos, which are these funky, superlight particles that do pretty incredible things. They are really bucking light. If you thought the electron was small, these guys are like 500,000 times lighter than the electron, at least. PUNY!! They also have a bit of an identity crisis

There are three flavors of neutrinos; let's call them Twi, Dash, and AJ for convenience. Now, normally, these particles would just stay themselves, but when it comes to neutrinos, there is a bit of Equestrian magic -- aka Quantum Mechanics -- going down. Because of this -- are you ready? -- if Twi leaves Ponyville, she might show up in Canterlot as Rainbow Dash. Could you imagine AJ walking around Sweet Apple Acres and suddenly being Twilight Sparkle? Well, neutrinos do that...

Here's a nice little video made by mah boys at Fermilab showing how we make this beam for study.

Now, that's all eggheady, so forgive my Twilightish moment and give me the opportunity to insert a Dashism. On the 9th, I became the first known person in the history of University of Minnesota physics to sing at his thesis defense. Here's a nice video excerpt. Enjoy...

That's how Wing does what he does...

Now get the hell off my text file, you Celestia-blessed hippies!
