Status Updates From The Higgs Boson: Searching ...

1.9 kelvin is quite frosty. Quite frosty indeed!

I have always found it amazing that most of the mass of the atom is tied up in the binding energy between the gluons in the atom.

OK, but I'm not betting on supersymmetry. 30+ years is more than enough time to experimentally verify that puppy.

" Even if you know the particles and the forces acting on them, you cannot calculate how the particles behave unless you also know the rule F = ma."

A theory of physics is said to have a symmetry if its laws apply equally well even after some operation, such as reflection, transforms parts of the physical system. An important example is the operation called parity reversal, denoted by P. This operation turns an object into its mirror reflection and rotates it 180 degrees about the axis perpendicular to the mirror. In mathematical terms, parity reverses the vector

"If a consistent pre quark theory can be worked out, it will still have to pass the test of experiment. " Hmmm.... d'ya think?

Higgs particles can't be kicked out of a Catholic church, because without them, there is no mass. Narf!
