Higgs Boson Particles

No doubt there will be jokes aplenty about the recent announcement from an as yet unnamed science person that the LHC is "Sabotaging itself from the future" and that nature itself is preventing the discovery of the higgs boson particle. Why didn`t I think of saying that to the judge?

Need to get this out of the way first:

"A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather."

Those crazies are called Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto

Nutters!

If I learned any thing from college it`d be that physicists always know where to get good weed.

Thanks mungo, I was lazy last night.
If someone spilt their coffee in one of the quark-wranglers then fair enough, but Holger and Masao (sitcom!) are just yanking our chains.

That explanation was terrible. Harry Potter made better sense.

Physicists shouldn`t tell jokes.

I can`t wait till they catch the Higgs. Then we can start creating anti-gravity crafts like the hoverboard from Back to the Future movie.

Out of the corner of my eyes , the title looked like Big Bosum testicles. Dunno what that says about me.

Chances are is that we won`t find the higgs, instead we may have our whole understanding of the universe flipped on it`s arse and we`ll be left here scratching our heads. In the mean time I hope they hurry up and get this thing working again.

They have had so many problems, like they didn`t have enough electricity, then one of the super conducting magnets failed and one of the particles punched it`s way through the machine causing leaks (yes those tiny particles have that much energy)!

on a side-note, what the flaming blue hell is going on with this page? why are all the posts centre-alligned and how do I do it again?

and don`t say "OOOH it waz teh higgs boson!"

I want that sound effect where the particles zoom through the higgs field.

That New York Times article seems to not be accessible unless you are a member. Do you have another link?

it gave me the higgs-ups.....

its interesting that we as a species don`t fully understand ourselves ( fear, rassicm, violence) but we are dying to grasp the meaning of things much larger than ourselves.
pointless, first things first..
