Mashin Particles

When theoretical physicists explain their research am I the only who thinks, yeah I heard that Phish song to, or is there something I'm missing here, and there's a reason why everyone except me says they understand this stuff? To be frank I get the feeling these are just really smart guys who watched a lot of science fiction movies and figured out a way they could get people to fork over massive amounts of money while hang around labs and come up with even more abstract ideas. Multiverses, particle mashers, and alternate realities? Yeah yeah I've said my fair share of stuff when I was high, none of this is new. Going off on a little bit of a tangent how many have people have told you that the when we die the molecules we're made of go onto become part of matter else where? I've heard this a lot and surprise surprise its never really made me feel any better. Somehow being dust that later becomes part of a rock or some shit just doesn't give me much comfort.
