and what's happening with the large collider in Switzerland, and the latest with the search for the Higgs boson and all that kind of stuff. I can't get enough of that.
I attended the lecture by Frank Close, a noted physicist, on the history of Higgs Boson this Monday at CERN and it was a great experience to be present there along with other scientists. In my opinion, the name will not be changed
The Higgs boson and the particle theories, gluons and mesons, that really gives us a scientific base in terms of our fictional storytelling, to open up to another dimension and have something horrible come throughMore quotes »

Shipping A 50-Foot Circular Magnet 3,200 Miles Across The U.S., For Physics' Sake
Muons wobble like a spinning top, and when they’re in a magnetic field, they start to rotate. The way they move, called gyromagnetic procession, can tell physicists very interesting things. At Brookhaven National Laboratory, physicists already have a dev from Popular Science Read more »
