CERN To Tap Unused Desktop Power To Help Find Higgs Boson

hypnosec writes "Research institute CERN has launched a new project to tap into the extra computing power from the public for its Large Hadron Collider atom smashing project. According to the organization, the LHC@home project will, for the first time, allow volunteers to aid in high-energy collisions of protons in CERN's Large Hadron Collider and in turn helping physicists to unravel the mysteries of the origin of the universe"

If we find a single Higgs Boson, it will be.
If we find a married one, it would be even more awesome.
