Higgs Boson Found—almost

[NQ6U]

All signs say yes (http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/02/12529401-has-the-higgs-boson-been-found-signs-point-to-almost), but...


Scientists at America's top particle-physics facility, Fermilab, today revealed their almost-final array of almost-strong evidence for the existence of the elusive Higgs boson — in advance of what's expected to be the almost-discovery of the subatomic particle at the Large Hadron Collider, almost half a world away.

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)

[KG4CGC]

I think it is important to include the role of what we now call "Dark Matter" when talking on the subject of Higgs Boson. It is an absolute yin and yan type of relationship that has been only one sided until recently.

[X-Rated]

I found Higgs Boson. I was sitting on it.

[suddenseer]

Another affirmation that leads one to conclude.

[K7SGJ]

Wasn't use of the HC originally supposed to destroy the world, or put it into another dimension, or something?

[W3WN]

Wasn't use of the HC originally supposed to destroy the world, or put it into another dimension, or something?
We are in another dimension. Didn't you notice?

[K7SGJ]

We are in another dimension. Didn't you notice?


I guess I've been on the Island so long, it's hard to tell.

[suddenseer]

Read The Dancing Wu Li Masters to get an ancient view of what is going on now. One might conclude that humans have already described these new discoveries in astrophysics. It gets better.

[KG4CGC]

Wasn't use of the HC originally supposed to destroy the world, or put it into another dimension, or something?

You're thinking about when someone puts instant coffee in the microwave.

[K7SGJ]

You're thinking about when someone puts instant coffee in the microwave.


Thank you. I knew it was something devastating.

[KG4CGC]

Thank you. I knew it was something devastating.

You're Welcome. (dick)

[W5GA]

Can we hear the whistle yet?

[K7SGJ]

Can we hear the whistle yet?


That's over thataway >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in the nekkid sky diving wimmen thread.

[W5GA]

That's over thataway >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in the nekkid sky diving wimmen thread.
Can't be, all Boson's have a whistle.

H Biggy...i just hope its not that yellow banana looking shit. Those colors dont sit well on me. Im all for the God Particle clothing line, but its got to sit right...in the scientific community, of course.

ASPEN, Colo. - Signaling a likely end to one of the longest, most expensive searches in the history of science, physicists said Wednesday that they had discovered a new subatomic particle that looks for all the world like the Higgs boson, a key to understanding why there is diversity and life in the universe.

Like Omar Sharif materializing out of the shimmering desert as a man on a camel in "Lawrence of Arabia," the elusive boson has been coming slowly into view since last winter, as the first signals of its existence grew until they practically jumped off the chart.

Yep, you stare at a blank sheet of paper long enough, you'll see anything you want.

This particular subject makes me feel really dumb. :lol:

You have a lot of company. It makes everybody but theoretical physicists feel really dumb.

Gravity fields and Dark Matter play together.

Higgs Boson is part of the balancing act.

The Dancing Wu Li Masters is a very amusing exploration of the possibilities... and a little outdated.

The possibilities are clearer as perspectives have sharpened. Here's a great youtube series!
