Ok, I'll ask , what do people think about the discovery of the Higgs boson?

That it shows the theory is true and that many other impossible sounding theories could well also be true

It's a pleasure keeping members happy  ;) - must admit I had to do a google search to find out what Higgs boson was all about.

They should have just asked me, I had it in my pocket the entire time.

I'm no scientist but have a great interest in all things science and space my understanding of the higgs boson is it’s a theoretical particle that adds mass to other particles if Im completely wrong I apologise  %$£

I think it may be no longer theoretical, not sure what its supposed to do but that explanation sounds as though it could be right

Higgs Boson, there's a very expensive thing, "The Higgs mechanism sets up a field that interacts with particles to endow them with mass, and the Higgs boson is the particle associated with that field", sort of , don't ask me , Hubby recommends Google!

I heard the accelerator is so big, you can cycle round it, I would love to try!

My hubby was ecstatic about Higgs Boson!
That really shows you what scientists can do.... so bring on GLYX-13 and fast acting AD next !!!
