World's Largest Atom Smasher May Have Detected 'God Particle' (the Higgs boson)

[RottenWillow]

I'll have to look through the articles and stuff... I don't follow the energies of what's required for this stuff. All the news is either fucking stupid (black holes and dragons) or overly technical and esoteric.

Should ask Nathan over at that other place, too. He's moar in the loop.

and Nate is now a PhD as well, so he's our resident authority on anything even remotely astronomical.

We're getting our physics scoops from pick3 now.

So now he's the official EF power bottom AND physics nerdvig.

He gives us both TMZ and P= mv

Sure, you name it. TMZ, P, MV, HIV, AIDS, etc. etc.

U.S. team escalates subatomic particle hunt - Technology & science - Science - msnbc.com


GENEVA — U.S. scientists said on Wednesday that they could get enough data by the end of September to establish whether the Higgs boson, long believed to have played a vital role in the creation of the universe, exists or not.

Physicist Eric James from Fermilab near Chicago told a conference in the French city of Grenoble that his team — working in parallel with scientists at the CERN research lab near Geneva — were fast narrowing down the mass range where the particle could be hiding.

The Higgs boson is the last missing piece of the so-called Standard Model of physics. It's thought to be the particle that gave mass to the debris of the big bang 13.7 billion years ago, but it hasn't yet been detected.
