The Higgs boson is the last of the particles posited by the standard model of particle physics still to be found. It is said to explain why other particles have mass, and its discovery would confirm the standard model. If its existence is ruled out altogether, then other, previously less popular theories will have to be examined.

Yeah, finding the long elusive 'Higgs boson" aka "the God particle" is a big deal but if you really want to get people's attention let's see it find Jimmy Hoffa.

Maybe Whoraldo can find another empty safe!

Fermi? Tavatron? CERN accelerator?

I’m not sure I understand a word in that entire article.

If true this is the biggest triumph in physics in a long time. I will wait for confirmation.

While it has not been able to pinpoint the elusive Higgs

A more reliable but anonymous source says Higgs is hiding in Argentina......

[Red Badger]

Okay, Where did Higgs lose his Boson?................

[Smokin' Joe]

I bet Higgs will be glad to get it back...(8^D)

[reagan_fanatic]

I, for one, hope they find Higgs.

Poor little thing must be scared to death after being lost all this time.

[Frenchtown Dan]

Or maybe it can find out where zerobozo really came from.

While it all sounds very trivial, this is part of the larger search for the Holy Grail - true fusion energy production.

All this silliness about electric cars and the like is just that silliness - because the energy it takes to produce the electricity it typically as dirty and troublesome as fossil fuel. Fusion energy would be a game changer. If there were a cheap, nonpolluting way to create electricity, a bunch of environmentalist wet dreams could come through.

Having said that, I have a friend that is a physicists and he assures me practically fusion energy production isn't likely to happen in our life time. But I guess they could always get lucky.

Would be a riot if the “old” Tevatron found the Higgs Boson when the Euros spent billions of dollars building the LHC when one of its primary missios if the find the Higgs.

[Yossarian]

They found Higgy-baby?

He was just in the study the whole time, with Zeus and Apollo!

[mikrofon]

Is this the theme of the fourth “Pirates” flick?

(No, that would be “The Search For Higgs’ Bosun”)

Had Bubba Clinton not hated the Super Conducting Super-Collider so much that he had it destroyed before it was finished, we might have discovered the Higgs Boson years ago.

I’m just sayin’.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Oooo, I’m all TINGLY inside. Or I might be if I knew what it was or cared.

[loungitude]

They didn’t need all this expensive equipment to find those things, I’ve got a bunch in my desk drawer.

[Paradox]

Finding the Higgs is big. But a REAL achievement would be finding Obama’s Testicles.
