According to the BBC news banners this morning. It's a good thing to know that the poor mariner has been rescued, probably.

    I saw that too. They seemed remarkably unconcerned about the fate of the rest of the Higgs' crew.

    He was. He went off course during the prologue time trial. They found him stinking drunk in a bar on a backstreet unable to remember where he left his bicycle or why he was in Europe.

    Why probably? Have they found Schrodinger's bosun* box on a boat.?


    *Pretty sure you mean BOSON
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    They have found a particle of the predicted mass (to 5 sigma probability) but they aren't sure about the properties yet.

    They say it gives things mass. I thought what gave me mass was beer and cake. I was wrong.

    That forces theoretically have particles to convey them is undergrad physics (first or second year, I think). Finding the HB is the impressive bit.

    Very good sir. Sorry it took so long for someone to show a bit of Copenhagen interpretation appreciation, but I've only just read it...

    If we are talking Bottom Bracket isn't it much more likely they just mis-spelt bosum :wink:

    Now they've found it, has anyone thought to ask Prof. Higgs whether he would like it back?

    I gather the Higgs Boson is the sticky gluey stuff that holds the universe together, much like Sid the Sloth

    I'm beginning to think the Higgs Boson is some type of sub-atomic gaffer tape thus proving the hypothesis that all you need is WD40 and gaffer tape to create the Universe

    Well, the theory is that dark matter is alcohol and humans evolved to restore galactic balance.
