higgs boson

Coooooool. http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2012/09/12/higgs-boson-discovery-has-been-confirmed/ Shouldn't there always be? :D Seriously though, I agree. They would not want to make a mistake on something this important. Those 2 linked papers are entitled: Observation of a new...

Excellent, provocative column in today's Wapo: God particle discovery is a win for science over superstition Predictable criticisms in the comments...

Despite the fact that I hate the headline ("God particle" :rolleyes: ) I am very, very interested to see what this is all about. Looks like a big announcement coming on Wednesday... Scientists find evidence of 'God particle' Anyone here got an inside scoop on this? :popcorn1

A rumor starts to spread that the "God particle" has been found. http://www.livescience.com/13853-higgs-boson-signal-lhc-cern.html Well, probably just a statistical anomaly, but maybe not. Time will tell.

Figure the LHC would be first, but rumors are saying that Fermi found it first. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/large-hadron-collider/7885997/Large-Hadron-Collider-rival-Tevatron-has-found-Higgs-boson-say-rumours.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider Some scientists have stated that there is a 1 in 50,000,000 chance that during a ten year period of operation, an experiment in the LHC could destroy the entire planet and possibly the whole universe.:eek: So, ahead of a Horizon program on the...

From "WHAT'S NEW" by Robert L. Park; Friday, 30 Mar 07; Washington, DC Is Interesting Ian still around?

Well, since I can not find the link, and I don't have a scanner handy, I took the time to type this entire article, so everyone could read for themselves. This is an article I came across in the Wall Street Journal. Author: Sharon Begley, writes as follows: The life of a Physicist is marked by...

Okay, folks, I need some help here. I may have uncovered an interesting relationship between Higgs bosons, dark matter, and string theory. (It may even point to where the Higgs boson is hiding.) However, to orient everyone, let me start with some nomenclature from the “20,000 foot level”...
