IF you have discovered a universal solvent, and seen the evidence of it, then the only place you can keep it, is in your mind, where it was conceived, while you hope that the 'proof' of discovery either remains well below ground, or dissipates, or is destroyed by excessive heat.
The mind, is where the things man makes come from, like the LHC. It was designed to operate at much higher power levels than previous colliders, in the hopes of finding evidence of the then theoretical Higgs Boson. Apparently they have seen enough evidence to confirm it, and some are now begining to wonder what they can use the LHC toward solving next. Well, once again it's time to return to the mind.
At some point, i recalled the old joke of what do you keep a universal solvent in, which never came with an answer. So i figured, right or wrongly, that it would be a good mind exercise to go along with the question of what to use the LHC for next. I liked BMAONE23's mix the ingredients in space, because that adds another 'dimension' to the possibilities of thinking about what a universal solvent could do. Space is a whole different enviornment than on earth.
So how would an earth based universal solvent react to space, after it's ingredients were mixed together? Would it eat through the fabric of space and open a hole to another dimension? And if it did, would it be possible to probe a sample of that other dimension with the high energies of the LHC.
To me, this would seem to fit into the context of the first post's Extra Dimensions video.
