The Higgs boson....
Announcement expected on Wednesday. Some important news for a change, amidst all the normal bullshit and who cares annoucements.
I thought this was cool, from the CNN report:
Finding the Higgs boson would help explain the origin of mass, one of the open questions in physicists' current understanding of the way the universe works.
The particle has been so difficult to pin down that the physicist Leon Lederman reportedly wanted to call his book "The Goddamn Particle." But he truncated that epithet to "The God Particle," which may have helped elevate the particle's allure in popular culture.
