Fay NemanYou gotta understand, everything behaves like a particle in a wave at the same time until something is actually observed. Because of the same multiple states of reality simultaneously. Then only you actually observe anything, anywhere in the universe, to change it. And if that thing is entangled in a relationship with anything else, it changes still, instantly. And that's faster than a speed of light. But you know what? Nothing's faster than the speed of light. It's real-life magic... and atom. It's made of electrons, protons and neutrons. And protons and neutrons are made up of quarks, and quarks are held together by gluons. And gluons are bosons, and bosons... are elementary particles, which are the fundamental forces of nature.

Simon KestralDr. Niels Geck. PhD at MIT, age 13. Rogue scholar, age 16. Professor of Departement of Theoretical Physics, University of Geneva, age 20. Chief Physicist at the San Celeritas particle Collider. He's blessed with a neurological disorder. He sees words and numbers as shapes and colors. It's called synesthesia. It's like being born on acid. So he has very rich inner life. I envy him above all others.

Simon KestralWe are sentient beings, evolved in an infinite universe. An infinite extrapolation of our evolution is to become Gods ourselves. You dig?

Simon KestralIf everything there is, from all the heavenly bodies in all the galaxy's still expanding universe, to you and me was one smaller than a single atom, where did all this mass and matter come from?
Simon KestralFucking A! At 7:00 a.m., tomorrow morning, with 5 billion dollars worth off-the-shelf technology, I'm gonna answer the greatest question of all time.
Simon KestralThe reason we are here is to find out how we are here. What is the trick? What is the divine mechanism that gives form and substance to all things? Any other questions are waste of fucking time. This is the only worthwhile pursuit in the universe, bro.
Niels GeckThere's just no explaining for, how this universe acquired mass. There's no explanation at all for how, we're here in a physical sense. Unless, unless there is some special, mysterious particle that actually gives mass to... well, everything. In a sense, such a particle must exist, but we've never seen it. It's like love. We know it exists. We can feel it, but we've never seen it.
Niels GeckWell, we'll recreate the conditions that existed one-trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. Protons will head toward collisions at nearly the speed of light. And quarks and gluons will release enough energy to create the Higgs Boson particle, the God particle. It's unstable, it's fragile. And it will last for less than a one-millionth, of a billionth, of a billionth of a second... before it decays. But we've seen it for the first time in history.
Ned CruzSo... what's the worst that can happen... with a couple of billion worth of off-the-shelf technology, brought it together by imperfect human beings HO here in Mexico?
Niels GeckA black hole. Theoretically, collisions with this much energy, could create a black hole that could swallow the earth. Or... or create strangements that could initiate runaway fusion and turn the planet into a shrunken lump of strange matter.
Simon KestralI think you two need to... go away. Do your business. Talk, fuck... whatever. By 7.00 a.m. tomorrow, I'm gonna be on stage... standing next to God... and looking right up his sleeve.

Ned CruzSo... what do you think, is gonna happen at 7.00 a.m. tomorrow?
Niels GeckThere are hidden variables, so it's difficult to predict the outcome. But... I think, one way or another, at 7 a.m. tomorrow, Simon Kestral will be close to God.
Ned CruzWell, it's the Latin expression for a philosophical concept known as 'Occam's Razor'. In language that Poley can understand, it means... "All things being equal, the simplest solution is the best".

Ned CruzNiels Geck calculated the probability that Anton Protopov would find him. And based on his result, he bought himself a gun.
Ned CruzWell, that... that... that's simple. The guys who had been shadowing Anton, then tailing me... the guys in the Lincoln Town car. I can describe them. One is a fucking sociopath, who never finished first grade and who nobody likes. Another is a broken down family man, with nothing... nothing to show for his life. And the third guy... wears brown shoes and a black suit because he can't tell the difference between right and wrong.

Ned CruzWe've all got kinks. All built-in closets where they hide. There is always the fear that someday someone walks into your closet... and switches on the light... and there in the corner is your kink. The most terrible fear of all... is the fear of being exposed.

Simon KestralYou're in a 8-mile long circular tunnel, 300 feet below San Celeritas. And 27 hours from now 8 Magnet-Assembly storing 10 GigaJoules of energy, will guide two proton beams fired simultaneously in a semi-circular path towards each other, at 99.999% of the speed of light, and they'll collide right in there.
Simon KestralTo recreate conditions of 3/8th of a second after The Big Bang. The beginning of the universe... 13 billion years ago. Questions? Preguntas?
Ned CruzTry 20 million per picture and 20 percent junk off the back-end. One of the highest paid movie stars in history and I have to tell him... that it's all over.
