Higgs Boson Gotcha at last !!!!

[mistermack]

Got the little bugger :

Higgs on the BBC

What next? Maybe they can build a God detector?

[macdoc]

not quite
the answer is
Yes it's a new particle
It MAY be the Higgs bosun

Too bad you don't get into the reality of climate change the way you get all excited about particle.

Selective science understanding it seems.....

You get all about something that is very unlikely ever to affect you or the world much and get all stupid about a in your face threat from simple atmospheric physics. Bit of a disconnect.

[Tyrannical]

I'm still not convinced.
Was there any mention what the particle decays into?

[FBM]

I hate when they tease us like this. But still, they say it's a 1/2,000,000 chance that it's something else. Just shy of satisfactory...

I'm fully into the reality of climate change. The climate is ALWAYS changing.

And if you don't think that this IS the Higgs Boson, I'l bet you £1,000 it is.
Always ready to take money off a mug.

[Atheist-Lite]

It may be a Higgs Boson or not? The proof is in removing the particles, somehow, from a cubic metre of pure lead and watching it ascend into the sky like a balloon?

5 Questions for the Higgs Boson Particle

An Exclusive Interview

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – The Higgs boson particle has been everywhere these days – on TV, in newspapers and magazines, courtside at the NBA Finals with Kanye West. We caught up with him as he took a breather for the 4th of July, at his home in East Hampton.

Q: First of all – and I have to ask this – “God particle?” Really? Who started that?

A: I have gotten so much shit for that! (laughs) I don’t know where that started. Probably TMZ or somewhere! Look, if people want to call me that because they like what I do… well, I’m humbled. It’s cool to know that what you do makes people happy. I love my fans. But God particle? I don’t think so! I can’t even get my iPhone to sync. (laughs)

Q: Speaking of what you do… what do you do, exactly?

A: Probably what I’m best known for, for better or worse, is making atomic particles have mass. But I don’t want to be pigeonholed as that, because I don’t want to put limits on what I plan to do in the future. Like, right now I’m doing a lot of things that don’t involve atomic particles or mass or anything like that. For example, my menswear line. It’s a joint venture between me and Hugo Boss. It’s going to be called either Higgs Boss or Hugo Boson. Or we may go a whole different way and call it H. Biggy. My branding team is into it right now. I haven’t been this excited about something I’ve been involved in since I created the universe. Also, there’s gonna be a fragrance.

Q: There’s been a lot written about tension in your relationship with Peter Higgs, one of the scientists who discovered you. Any truth to the rumors?

A. Peter and I are both very passionate about what we do, and when you put a passionate human being and a passionate subatomic particle together there’s bound to be friction. We fight like brothers sometimes, but it’s only because we care so deeply about what we’re doing and we want to make it perfect. But as far as what happened in the club last week, no, I did not throw a bottle at his head.

Q: Okay, be honest, and no false modesty here: is there anything the Higgs boson can’t do?

A: Honest answer? I want to be considered the Michael Jordan of subatomic particles. By that I mean, Michael Jordan might not have been the most physically gifted player in the history of the NBA, but nobody worked harder at his game than he did. That’s what I’m all about. Whether it’s giving mass to matter, breaking electroweak symmetry or explaining the origin of the universe and whatnot, I believe I can do it all.

Q: Could you have kept Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise together?

A: Shit no! (laughs)

Sweet...

FFS you two could bring up climate change in a thread about tits.

[Clinton Huxley]

FFS you two could bring up climate change in a thread about tits.

Anthropogenic cleavage change is a clear and present danger to out technological civilisation.

[mistermack]

FFS you two could bring up climate change in a thread about tits.

Well, of course.
You see a lot more tits in Gloucester town center on a warm day. Fact.

[Audley Strange]

So is that it? Is science over now?

[amused]

Regarding the Higgs field, is this a refinement of gravitational ether?
