Honestly with hiccups I concentrate on what it feels like to be about to have a hiccup and then I don’t do that. I haven’t had more than - few hiccups in a row In years, and now I’ve taught my wife to do the same and she can kill them off mentally too.

Just as a heads up on this one. Cosmic rays have been doing the same things that have been happening at the LHC, but for billions of years and up to more than a million times higher energy. If the LHC could make a world ending black hole, cosmic rays would have already made one long ago!

If you can’t calculate, simulate.
