Higgs-Boson particle

[Creed of Heresy]

Apparently it is on the verge of discovery, according to two UW scientists working at the LHC. Yeah, that's right; two scientists from the University of Wisconsin, my [current] home state are on the verge of discovery of the elusive Boson particle.

One more puzzle piece on the giant puzzle of the universe! One step closer to understanding how it all works!

The only reason UW-Madison is a hotbed for physics is that after Fermi and team created the first critical reactor under the bleachers at the University of Chicago, many emphasized distance in the time/distance/shielding exposure protection methodology and moved north. Kidding of course.

Enjoyed the article. Thank you. I wish them continued success.

Let's hope the media won't carry on fueling the crappy apologetics brought on by calling the Higg's the "God Particle".

The paper I read that in [in fact, the same one published by the site I linked to] had stated that calling it the "god particle" was "high-minded."

The paper was at work, in the break room. I promptly took out a pen, scribbled out the words "high-minded" and wrote in the margins "religious bullshit."

PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE ANTI-THEISM, WOOOO. I'm such a rebel. *snort* XD

SUSY steps ever close to becoming a dead theory. And good riddance.

When I visited CERN in December their was a lot of excitement because they believed they'd caught the first glimpse of it. The sooner it's discovered the better! People have been working so so hard on this.

Highly agree. Once its existence is proven, thus can begin the research on its existence and its properties and from there we unlock more secrets.

God dammit I love science.

What was SUSY about?

This all blows my mind. Awesome, is all I can say.

My dad went to U of W as a grad student, so this will please him.

What was SUSY about?

Supersymmetry was used as a solution to some theoretical models, by way of some special type of particle with various weird names. It was popular because it offered a loophole through a "no-go theorem". Most versions of string theory use it, and the supersymmetrical particles at one point were also a dark matter candidate. There has been absolutely zero evidence for it though.
