Pearl: I'm going to lose her, just like I lost my... what was that you said?

Steven: Your cellphone?

Pearl: My CELLPHONE! *sobs*

MY CELL PHONE!!!

Yoooww… Remember when Rebecca posted this pic of Aivi & Surasshu a long time ago? When you look closely at the pic of Surasshu’s shirt, you’ll see that Amethyst, Ruby, and Sapphire’s gem are all equal on both sides, while Rose’s Gemstone (unlike the bubbled ones on the Human Zoo which are also equal on both sides) is pointed on the other side.

I was planning on making a drawing on how Pink and Rose’s gem could’ve been the same if rotated, but it seems impossible and… meh I was too lazy at that time. But now since I’ve seen the new episodes, I’ve tried figuring it out in 3D and it all makes sense now!!!

I knew it was PD’s gem but I was just too dumb to figure it out in the first place. The shape, patterns, and everything was so confusing, it just doesn’t make sense and match. But if you make a few alterations on the facet surface without changing its true 3D shape, then it just might work! 😅

So anyway, here’s a drawing I made showing you how it could be done in 3D.

“The Corrupted Jaspers” another old drawing that I found. Drawn on paper and colored with color pens.

It's ok because Concrete is just a character with her own color based on her own stone with light lipstick. Like no one got affected when Rose Quartz was shown with lipstick and a bit of big body. And I think Concrete is important and beautiful, since she was redesigned now by Lamar Abrams. I love how diverse the characters are. If we can have colorful characters, why not concrete, to show that all colors matter and have a positive side.

As I check tumblr after being away from it all weekend it feels like issue of Concrete as been made clear. However, it’s personally important to me that I express my apologies as I am the one who responsible for the text written next to her.

I do not associate illiteracy with people of color. That’s just not where my mind goes. Had Concrete been under consideration for an episode, she, like all of the ideas for SU, would have been scrutinized carefully to prevent any careless mistakes like this. It’s a constant consideration to champion love and acceptance in all the episodes we make. But saying this now is meaningless to anyone who was hurt by my words. It’s too late. People make mistakes and I am currently one of those people. 

I can’t undo what I’ve done but I can offer you my sincere apology. I can let you know that I make it a point to learn from my errors even when accidental. And it is my hope that any mistakes I make in the future always end with a step forward in a positive direction. That’s how I can be better. That’s how we can be better.

Thank you,

H

Could we create dark matter?

85% of the matter in our universe is a mystery. We don’t know what it’s made of, which is why we call it dark matter. But we know it’s out there because we can observe its gravitational attraction on galaxies and other celestial objects. 

We’ve yet to directly observe dark matter, but scientists theorize that we may actually be able to create it in the most powerful particle collider in the world. That’s the 27 kilometer-long Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, in Geneva, Switzerland.

So how would that work? In the LHC, two proton beams move in opposite directions and are accelerated to near the speed of light. At four collision points, the beams cross and protons smash into each other.

Protons are made of much smaller components called quarks and gluons. 

In most ordinary collisions, the two protons pass through each other without any significant outcome.

However, in about one in a million collisions, two components hit each other so violently, that most of the collision energy is set free producing thousands of new particles. 

It’s only in these collisions that very massive particles, like the theorized dark matter, can be produced.

So it takes quadrillions of collisions combined with theoretical models to even start to look for dark matter. That’s what the LHC is currently doing. By generating a mountain of data, scientists at CERN are hoping to find more tiny bumps in graphs that will provide evidence for yet unknown particles, like dark matter. Or maybe what they’ll find won’t be dark matter, but something else that would reshape our understanding of how the universe works entirely. 

And that’s part of the fun at this point. We have no idea what they’re going to find.
