The Higgs boson particle has finally been found....>>>
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-18702455
I can remember losing it on the beach, after a trip to Southend-on Sea, sea-side in 1967*
Due to its small size, it was difficult to locate amongst all the sand on the beach.
Fortunately, its discovery has now put my mind to rest, and enabled me to further concentrate on the meaning of life, and when all this bloody rain is going to stop, so that I can go shopping to Sainsbury's for some more vegetables and sausages.
Mr. Higgs will be pleased...

Cern scientists reporting from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have claimed the discovery of a new particle
consistent
with the Higgs boson.
The particle has been the subject of a 45-year hunt to explain how matter attains its mass.
Both of the Higgs boson-hunting experiments at the LHC see a level of certainty in their data worthy of a "discovery".
More work will be needed to be certain that what they see is a Higgs, however.
So they have almost, nearly not quite found it. Better back to the beach Paul......

I look upon the discussions of the Higgs boson particle with the same incredulity as the musings of brain surgeons, motor mechanics, and politicians...
...most of us haven't got the slightest idea what they are rambling on about....most of the time!

Yeah they've found something which seems to suggest the Higgs, but they're not quite certain yet. Before it can be added to the standard model, they need to know if they've found the stereotypical Higgs, or just an 'isotope' or variation of the standard Higgs.
I hear they're going to a night club later to celebrate - It'll be the Higgs Massive

Latest News.
It appears that the person entrusted to deliver the Higgs Boson Particle to the ensemble of Scientists and News Media gathered at Geneva has unfortunately dropped it through a crack in the floorboards whilst passing it to the Speaker*...
The search continues...

Fozzer,I will explain it all at your level:
There are magical little fairies that makes planets spin and orbit another object,they stop it all from crashing into eachother,they also give stuff a little push every now and again.
That's all I can explain at your level.

There's a photographer who goes by the name of Higgs, and he's actually quite good at photographing Bison. No, really

Not so new news. I got some Boson particles years ago, on Ebay.

Just give us ten years and another billion dollars of tax money and we'll really have something!
It won't have any practical use but by golly we'll be another step closer to discovering the origin of the universe, which was 14 billion years ago and that knowledge also has no practical use.

Are you saying the Large Hadron Collider & associated technologies have no practical use?
If so you a grossly misinformed:
Quote:
The Medipix All Resolution Systems (Mars) CT (computerised tomography) scanner creates true-colour X-rays using technology developed at Canterbury University and Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research on the border of France and Switzerland.
"There are lots of times where in an ordinary CT scan you can't really tell what's happening, so you might get an MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] scan or ultrasound, or even both, to try to sort out what is happening. But if you can have this colour information, it can help diagnosis."
The Mars' key component, the X-ray camera, was a "spinoff" from the Large Hadron Collider – the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator – that was developed by Cern, he said.

If they were plastic surgeons looking for Higgs Bosoms I'd hazard a guess the search wouldn't have taken this long.
I love the smell of radials in the morning!

Then Paul shouldn't it be called the Fosberry Boson?

My physics professor in our quantum mechanics course was saying this particle has more to do with how things have mass. Everything is actually just a collection of waves but some how they still have mass, so this particle is supposed to be the key to how that happens....or so I think.
Either way, Im glad ol Hawkins is ticked. I am so sick of that egotistical and bitter crippled!

Let us know when your Physics Professor comes up with the answer, Adam...
..I am busting a Gut, to find out!
The anxious waiting is keeping be awake at nights...

I am having to take Anti-Boson Tablets each night, to allow me to sleep...

Ok the Finding of this particle (if its really true) will bring a lot implication ,I always though that the LHC was the biggest waste of money of all history because I didn't believe the existence of this Higgs Field nature
I learn this couple days ago and the implication of this could turn everything upside down the way we used to see the universe ..I'm in shock

The field is what gives things mass... The particle is created when you excite the field.
Wave-particle duality is a fun thing, and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle helps things out - Lots of things are waves until you look for them, in which case you observe the particle.
"Mr Heisenberg, do you know how fast you were going back there?" "No, but at least now I know exactly where I am"
