God Particle (Page 2)

There’s more confirmation from CERN (the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland) that the God particle–the Higgs boson–has been glimpsed (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show). The Higgs is a sub-atomic particle that is predicted to exist, but has not yet been seen (until now).

Supposedly it explains how particles interact and is the means by which everything in the universe obtains mass. However, CERN won’t be sure they’ve really seen the Higgs until there is less than a one in a million chance that the data spike they’ve seen is a statistical fluke.

People do it, birds do it, and now quantum physicists do it: Gossip. Right now there are TWO competing particle accelerators smashing together subatomic particles–CERN (the Large Hadron Collider, which started operating outside Geneva) and the less well-known Tevatron, at the Fermi Laboratory in Illinois. Not only are these two smashers competing for information about new elementary particles, they are also generating lots of scientific gossip.read more

At the Large Hadron Collider (CERN), scientists are smashing subatomic particles together at close to the speed of light, hoping to see the "God particle," otherwise known as the Higgs Boson (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to these shows). Now they think they’ve caught a glimpse of it!

God affects the brain (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show) and quantum physicists working at the CERN collider in Switzerland hope to isolate and identify the "God" particle (the Higgs boson). There’s a rumor floating around that they’ve DONE it.
