IMHO, a lot of very technical bets have just been lost.
Still, they've apparently excluded the least Higgs' from the mid-range. It's either a bit higher or lower on the energy scale.
Nature's version of 'Hunt the Thimble'...
What happens when the elusive Higgs' runs out of hiding places within reach is going to be expensive...
Not necessarily; a year or so back when they were just about getting to turn the LHC on, a number of scientists said that not finding the Higgs could be the most interesting result, requiring a lot of re-thinking and, in their terms, a lot of exciting new thinking to be done.
essentially a 100 megapixel 3D camera that takes 40 million images every second. How's that for high speed photography!
Yes I agree, Vertigo. I've just got that itch for something a little bit unusual, just to make it a challenge for everyone to rethink everything anew. (or some new understanding that can in 10 years make a stargate to another star!!!)
On a related note. I do wish they would stop calling it the 'God particle'.
Might be good journalistic patter but I really can't see why it's god-like.
I thought they had a pretty good idea of its properties (or I should still say its supposed properties). Since it is a predicted particle and without knowing its properties surely they couldn't even be able to begin to look for it.From my understanding, no one really even knows what the Higgs is. Kinda like dark matter.
