Physicists claim they have found a Higgs boson

[Marlin]

Our "Higgs" probably already knows this but for the rest of us:

The long-sought subatomic particle, also known as the "God particle," was considered a missing cornerstone of physics.


GENEVA — The search is all but over for a subatomic particle that is a crucial building block of the universe.

Physicists announced Thursday they believe they have discovered the subatomic particle predicted nearly a half-century ago, which will go a long way toward explaining what gives electrons and all matter in the universe size and shape.

The elusive particle, called a Higgs boson, was predicted in 1964 to help fill in our understanding of the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang. The particle was named for Peter Higgs, one of the physicists who proposed its existence, but it later became popularly known as the "God particle."

This plus the building blocks of life on Mars, exciting times!

and here I thought a bosun was somsorta pipe blowing, whip swinging nautical pervert:




and life on Mars looked like this:



this new science seems to be a 50-50 thing,...

new science description of bosun - good

new science description of life on Mars - disappointing

pray tell what other questions will the great swamis of science reveal the truth of ?!?!?!?

And a Nobel prize is awarded for the Science team that theorized the "Higgs Boson / God Particle"

Of course, since they gave one to Nobama, they aren't as impressive anymore...

Progressives awarding other progressives it's not surprising, however I think non-political awards by the Swedes are appropriate.

Hitler and Stalin were both nominated Gore and Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize.    Nuff said.
