I might be wrong, but I've heard that the Heavy Hadron Collider at CERN (which is due to be complete in 2005 and operate at ~8TeV, as opposed to Fermilab's 1TeV accelerator) has an excellent chance of running into it, if no other accelerator does.
Hi, the beast is named LHC (Large Hadron Collider). It will collide protons on protons. Officially it will be operating in 2005 but internally noone really expects it to run before 2007. It will operate at sqrt(s) == 14TeV. It does not only have a chance to run into a Higgs boson (or maybe five), but it _will_ run into it, as it covers all of the allowed phase space, not only in Standard Model Higgs Bosons (one or two Higgs doublets) but also MSSM and other Higgses.
No offence to you Fermilab guys, but if Mr. Higgs really is as light that you could find him, LEP will be first:-)
Can someone please explain the difference? I guess the price difference is just misssing mass market, but where are the technical differences? Why can't I use a 74 or 80 min MD in a data drive?
Cheers, Peter

Hi,
in some peoples mind and haert (e.g. RMSs and maybe mine) it might be a future we want to avoid:
Imagine: no more used book stores; no more lending a book to your friend; no more borrowing one from the public library
But, the hell, times change. Most of the new technologies change our environment. Maybe some people would like to stick to coaches, because of their beuty and the horses and everything, but the car (more or less) replaced them. Of course some people in some circumstances still use them, but in fact they are replaced. The Radio for example has to face the invention of television, and it survived with a target group.
Like it or not. You can't preserve the world in a stasis. You have to live with the fact that some things may change. Bookstores might vanish (what a pitty), and lending books to a friend might be done in a different way, and public libraries might get obsoleted.
And if you think a little bit further (all the mp3 stuff, etc etc.) we might have a completely different kind society in terms of art and the way it is published. But in my opinion, every argument for "Writers have to eat" people who make musik have to eat, publishers, printers, newspaperboys, you name it, all have to eat, but if their job isn't usefull anymore...sad, but true. Would you like to have the ponyexpress still around and prohibit mail transfer by car? Only because of the cute horses anf because the guys have to eat?
This is a good question to ask. Why is this post moderated down, and tagged as Troll? No offence, Miguel, but there are realy a lot of other interesting things/guys out there. Moderate him up!
I can agree with the first part, but the seconed seems to be utter rubish.
Nope, it's not. It is correct. It's a (rather) simple Lorentztransformation of the to points in spacetime. if the two are not timelike, but spacelike (i.e. two points which you would need two travel with v>c from one to another) there is always a inertial system in which the time-coordinates of the two are swaped. i.e. the recieving occurs before the transmitting. Cheers, Peter
Nope... go back to your physics class. The glass DOES distort. As the previous poster correctly explained electromagnetic waves (or Photons if you like. That is what keeps your glass from falling apart.) does not travel faster than c. Thus the pole will NOT move at the end if you push at te front. Cheers, Peter

Noone (even RMS) can do something about that.

When asked if there might be an IPO this year, Ditzel answered: in english: In my opinion: hype + real technology == excellent deal
I hope I am lucky and get some of those
