Search for Higgs "God Particle" Gets Interesing

Posted by kdawson on from the putting-the-standard-model-to-bed dept.

holy_calamity writes "The Large Hadron Collider is in trouble again. It will start work sometime in spring 2008, not November this year as planned. The delay has been blamed on an 'accumulation of minor setbacks,' and comes on top of a 'design fault' that saw breakdown of magnets supplied by the competing Fermilab. Yesterday Slate nicely rounded up increasingly loud rumors among physicists that Fermilab may already have seen the Higgs particle, the 'holy grail of particle physics' the LHC was build to find."

    I hope that /. editors become aware of the slant they have continuously put on the LHC setback stories.

    They BECOME editors to inject their slant, whether about Bush, RIAA, DMCA, capitalism, america, or anything else.

    "God particle" is just a figure of speech. Even some hardcore physicists use it. People with brains can tell the difference.

    Don't wet your panties, you pendantic, whiney pussy. Cripes, do you have *any* friends?
