^For serious.

They have confirmed that it's a new particle and that it's a boson. It's in the right range to be the Higgs, but that's what they still have to confirm.

Hey, I'm an idiot.

What's this mean?


The Higgs is the last missing piece of the Standard Model, the theory that describes the basic building blocks of the universe. The other 11 particles predicted by the model have been found and finding the Higgs would validate the model. Ruling it out or finding something more exotic would force a rethink on how the universe is put together.

Scientists believe that in the first billionth of a second after the Big Bang, the universe was a gigantic soup of particles racing around at the speed of light without any mass to speak of. It was through their interaction with the Higgs field that they gained mass and eventually formed the universe.

The Higgs field is a theoretical and invisible energy field that pervades the whole cosmos. Some particles, like the photons that make up light, are not affected by it and therefore have no mass. Others are not so lucky and find it drags on them as porridge drags on a spoon.

Picture George Clooney (the particle) walking down a street with a gaggle of photographers (the Higgs field) clustered around him. An average guy on the same street (a photon) gets no attention from the paparazzi and gets on with his day. The Higgs particle is the signature of the field - an eyelash of one of the photographers.

It is a bit misleading if all you know about it is its name. I was having a (laid back) religious discussion once, and out of nowhere one of the guys on the religious side said "Oh, yeah? How do you explain the God particle then, huh?" :picard:

Wait... the God Particle isn't God?

The guy who coined the phrase, Leon Lederman, wanted to call it the Goddamn Particle because it was so fucking hard to find. It was his publisher that called it the god particle.

Also in reference to the exact time of the creation of all things hence the God reference... So it's the ol science or God thing, I believe both...

Next thing you'll be telling me George Clooney (the particle) isn't George Clooney (the actor). :whateva:

So do you think we're eventually going to be able to see things so small that we realize the the particles that make up our universe are actually tiny planets with people on them. Then, when we can actually see the little people, we'll realize they are us and our entire existence is one infinite loop.
