Scientists at Cern laboratory claimed to have found the infamous Higgs-Boson, the most elusive and significant particle discussed in modern physics. This news is incredible and a huge boom to the physics and science community.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu


This is insane. I did a huge research project on CERN a year ago. That place is crazy

this discovery happened on the 4th, it was a pretty big deal.

Lets just put this into perspective. This discovery is the culmination of the largest, most complicated and most expensive experiment humanity has ever accomplished. If intelligent life exists elsewhere, and knowledge is the basis of on which civilizations are graded, we just took one large step on that scale in the last few years.

So this basically ruined the future of the show "The Big Bang Theory"

Fuck I need to touch back up on my basics of particle physics, string theory, cosmos, and what not.

If your dad deals with string theory regularly, he doesn't just sit down at the dinner table one night and decided to teach it to you.

With the amount of post that kid has on NS in such a short time, I would venture to say he knows little to nothing about the previously mentioned topics.

I was on vacation when this happened so thanks for posting about it. The majority of these articles are going right over my head, but that TED talk explained it pretty nicely.

Such an absolutely immense discovery. I hate that breakthroughs such as this aren't given the international exposure outside of scientific fields that they should be just due to the complexity of it all.

I watched it, and had forgotten most of the subatomic particles that he was listing.

@ 45, I have some knowledge of it, but I don't go to school for it. yet...
