  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Since there are already comments on puppy physics, let me add a reminder that the Obamas are getting a new puppy.

  4. 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!
