Higgs particle discovery
I checked that on this forum there is no thread on the Higgs particle, a hypothetical particule that was first theorized by Brout and Englert and not by Higgs as one would naively believe.
Brout and Englert published their idea in French in June 1964, while cleverly Higgs (who does not read nor write French apparently) published his own version of the same thing 2 months later but in English and got all the credit.
When you watch the news on your TV next Tuesday december 13th you will hear that the famous Higgs particle has been ALMOST discovered with an energy of 125 GeV. The newsman will struggle to explain the ALMOST.
He will then use its most stupid nickname of "God particle", which invariably gets even more stupidly translated into French as if the English nickname were "God's particle".
Anyway, I still encourage you to watch the news on tuesday and maybe even read a serious newspaper on wednesday.
If you want to know more about all this wikipedia will be more than happy to oblige.
