Now that the election is over and the LHC is delayed, for the next six months all of our posts will be about puppies. Let’s start with a live webcam.

Shiba Inu?
Man, I could watch this for hours!
Aww, how cute!
If you slam 2 puppies together at 7 TeV each, do they create a Higgs?
The kinetic energy of a scampering puppy is millions of TeV, more than enough to produce a Higgs. (1 TeV is about one erg.) Sadly, it’s spread out over a large number of degrees of freedom. And the luminosity is low.
A TeV puppy isn’t actually traveling all that fast…
For a head-on collision, 14 TeV=2.24e-6 J
Assuming each puppy is 250g, and puppies are Newtonian, so E=1/2mv^2, that works out to about 3e-3 m/s, or 3 millimeters/second.
Since there are already comments on puppy physics, let me add a reminder that the Obamas are getting a new puppy.
How about kittens (no Schrodinger’s cruelty please)
are gravatons real? or is space-time curved?
If a puppy is moving at the speed of light, does time stop for the puppy?
Sean, who won the presidential prediction contest?
How long before we get a final popular vote tally so you can declare a winner to the contest?
Less snacks, more kittens, please.

I was wondering about that bit of white square over in the red play area. Are those lovely pups constructing the next big physics answer on it, for us?
One of them could be tackling a white board marker (with top on) in that play pen right now!
Claire. P.S. Those Puppies, oh and I want one!
I find myself wondering where is the mother?
