Finally, results are in from CERN on their Large Hadron Collider
A group of European Sheldon Coopers are apparently close to "reach(ing) the mountaintop" in answering some of the most fundamental questions about how the universe exists. According to reports, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is close to identifying the "god particle," or Higgs boson, the discovery of which would explain why the matter created in the Big Bang has mass. In a CERN background paper, scientists explain that, without this particle, "the universe would be a very different place.... no ordinary matter as we know it, no chemistry, no biology, and no people." We'll know if they've been successful when a pair of separate research teams combine their results and when the Associated Press stops capitalizing the word "god" in the phrase "God particle."-
British theoretical physician John Ellis says that at least one physicist-blogger has already completed the task of finding such a "hint" of the particle's existence. A public unveiling of the data is scheduled later this year. I love that that phrase now exists-- 'physicist-blogger.'

While I found this entire story very interesting indeed, I think I'm going to wait and see what Sean Hannity has to say about it.

When they discover who/what created the god particle in the first place - then they will have something to talk about.
Silly scientists.
