And in the late 1960s, experiments at the Stanford Linear Accelerator revealed that even neutrons and protons themselves are made up of more fundamental constituents: each proton and each neutron consists of three particles known as quarks, as mentioned in Chapter 9 and illustrated in Figure 12.3a.

Instead, the conventional particle-as-dot model, according to string theory, is an approximation of a more refined portrayal in which each particle is actually a tiny, vibrating filament of energy, called a string, as you can see in Figure 12.3b.

Horse Story #8 for @elodieunderglass

Michael Vs. The Stanford Linear Accelerator, Part Two

(Part one is here: https://www.tumblr.com/idiomagic/785703810504015872/horse-story-7-for-elodieunderglass?source=share) When last seen, Our Heroes were confronted with the Unholy Sights, Sounds, and Stench of Monkey Hell. I had dropped my reins in shock, and Michael had decided that whatever the fuck was going on, it was Very Bad Juju and exited the vicinity posthaste. He got the bit in his teeth, and bugged out at full speed. Michael was not remarkably fast for a racehorse, but I had never before ridden at full racing speed. The fact that we were going cross country, on uneven ground, up and down hills, did not help matters. My reins were flapping everywhere, I immediately lost my stirrups, and my world narrowed down to an urgent imperative to Not Fall Off. I clung to the saddle, somehow, as we charged through tall grasses and prickly bushes. I managed to get my feet back in the stirrups, and got my brain working enough to assess the overall situation. It was Not Good. Michael was bolting at full speed, I had zero control, and we were aimed directly at the site of the linear accelerator. I had maybe half a mile or so to get Michael calmed down and regain my steering before we would plunge off the steep banks and plummet ten feet or so onto concrete at approximately terminal velocity. The Stanford Linear Accelerator extends for over a mile. It looks like this, though in places the banks are vertical, and in some places they are much closer to the building:

By the time I processed our Impending Doom, I knew we were fucked. I managed to get the reins into some semblance of order, but Michael was in no mood to respond to my suggestions that we slow the fuck down. He kept charging through the brush, we hit a downslope, then suddenly we were on the precipice of the bank, with a ten foot or more drop to the concrete, and the roof of the building about 15 feet away. So Michael did the only thing possible, and jumped. And landed on the metal roof. And, somehow, skittered to a stop instead of plunging off the other side. The roof was metal, and he slid a bit, all four legs splayed out, but we made it.

When we landed, the metal horse shoes hitting the roof at speed made the most colossally apocalyptic BOOM! CLANG CLANG CLANG! noise I've ever been unfortunate enough to hear. So, there we were...standing precariously on top of the most delicate, expensive, government run scientific installations in the world. With no obvious way down. I was aware that very soon, angry military types with guns would be heading our way, and that it was going to be very difficult to explain what the fuck we were doing there. The only plan I could think of was to sneak along the roof until we found a place where the banks were close enough to jump to. I wanted to attract as little attention as possible, in the hopes that maybe no one noticed the giant clanging noises that had heralded our arrival. I kept a very firm grip on the reins, but Michael had no intention to go his own way. He was baffled to be on top of a building, and eager to take any directions from me. He had confidence that I would have A Plan, which was heartwarming but sadly misplaced.

I picked the direction I hoped was away from the control building, and nudged Michael into a slow, sedate walk. A quiet walk. A sneaky walk. CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG Oh shit. The noise was unreal. It was like being inside a steel drum during Carnival in the Caribbean. Only much less melodious and charming.

Well, I thought, no point in sneaking. And kicked Michael into a slow canter. Michael did not like the noise, at all, and when we came to a spot where the bank was more gentle and only about 8 or so feet away, he turned of his own volition and jumped. The quiet was such an intense relief. Michael was blowing hard, and covered with sweat, but I felt a strong need to make tracks and get away from the scene of our crime. We alternated between a jog and a slow canter, until we reached a clump of trees. We hid there for a couple of minutes while I took my bearings, then headed back towards the stable, walking and then jogging. We finally made it back, I gave Michael a bath, then wrapped his legs and got him back in his stall. Which is when the big black government sedan rolled up, with two Very Serious Dudes in full Men In Black suits and sunglasses. There were only a few people around at that time, and they were blissfully unaware of my crimes. I hid in the doorway of the stable, and listened. Very Serious Dude: "What do you people know about the incident at the linear accelerator? If you confess now, we will go easier on you." No one had any clue what he was talking about. Except me. Innocent Horse Person: "We have no idea what you're talking about. We've all been here all day. What's going on?" Very Serious Dude: "There was a horse on top of the accelerator. The noise and vibrations and dust from the ceiling disrupted an experiment that was three years in the making. We're going to all the stables to find the guilty party." Innocent Horse Person: "No one in their right mind would ride onto the accelerator. There's a lot of pasture up there...it must have been a loose horse. Or a deer. Or even a bull or something. It sure as hell wasn't any of us." The Very Serious Dudes left, unsatisfied. Later, one of the people from the barn came up to me. "What the hell were you up to? It had to be you and that Damned Horse. As soon as I realized that no one in their right mind would do it, I thought of you. It couldn't be anyone else. You're just fucking lucky to be alive." And I am.

The four and a half months since I started the Bride of Shadows interactive novel have flown by. As of this weekend, we'll have well over 200,000 words, a lot of it unique content, and story lines that diverge in interesting ways. Although it can be challenging at times, I'm really glad that I opted to write this story as an interactive novel. Not only is it fun to explore the different possibilities, but I also love the community.

May will bring a lot of much-anticipated content, including a variety of new NSFW scenes for every story route, new clothes for your MC, a possible matrimony, a plot twist or two, and of course, the conception of your god-baby.

Week One of May (we are here!) already has updates to both the Unaligned Zealot (Valdricht Route) and the Aligned Zealot on Patreon. The first half of each night is around the length of a typical night, but there's still a lot more to come. This weekend, likely on Sunday, I'll be releasing the first half of the Heretic NSFW Night VI for patrons and you'll get a first look at the (hopefully) clever way the pregnancy tailoring is established.

Week Two of May will bring the Unaligned Zealot (Serax Route) and the first half of the standard Heretic Night VI. It'll have a lot of parallels with the Aligned Zealot route, but also some key differences that I think Heretic players will really appreciate. As a bonus for players of both routes, I'll be extending the Heretic route for an additional 5-10 passages of being out on the town (or dragged into the nearest bedroom) with Valdricht.

Week Three will give you the option to crank up the heat with a lengthy MMF scene or give your lovers the cold shoulder in the second half of the NSFW Heretic route. It'll also be when I launch the first half of all Night VI routes for free on Itch.

Weeks Four & Five will put a bow on the remaining routes and, ideally, see all versions of the MC consummating her union with Valdricht & Serax. After that, I'm going to get started on the Week One update, which will include a streamlined prologue, bonus scenes, new tendency options for both patrons and free players, and Night VII. I anticipate it'll take 2-3 weeks, but there will be a lot of sneak peeks & alternate POV scenes to tide you over.

There will be three new alternate POV scenes in May, one for everyone, one for all Patreon members, and one for Darksinger & Duskweaver members.

As I've mentioned on Patreon, I'll be officially writing Bride of Shadows full-time come mid-May. Thank you for your support and I look forward to raining new content upon you. I suspect this schedule will be greatly accelerated come mid-May, but I don't want to over-promise so I'll keep the time estimates conservative for now.

I also have a contemporary MF vampire erotic romance I wrote a couple years ago. As I have time, I'm going to tweak it into a linear-ish interactive novel, probably in ChoiceScript. If you see me publishing anything else, rest assured, I'm not taking time from Bride of Shadows to start a new project, just retrofitting a completed story into a new format once my daily writing is done. Plus, it's a good story with hot vampire/demon explicit content. You'll like it.

I really like how in TTOU and Charlie MacNamara you don't try to use something like artificial gravity plates as a crutch in your ship designs and actually go all in on using centrifugal force, the only method of artificial gravity that we know of besides linear acceleration and can realistically achieve.

It's simpler than making up new bullshit science. I already made up enough new bullshit science with chronostasis.
